Today, I bought a new armband to hold my iPhone while working out so I can listen to music and I was excited to start getting in shape. Unfortunately, when I tried it on, my arm was too big and it didn't fit. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I was excited about my new fitness tracker that I decided to go for a run to test it out. Midway through, I looked down and realized I'd forgot to turn it on. FML
Today, I decided to try a new fitness tracker. After walking around all day, I looked at my app to check how many steps I’d taken, only to realize the tracker had counted every time I flailed my arms in frustration trying to figure out how to set it up. FML
Today, the "My body is beautiful" t-shirt that my therapist gave me didn't fit. FML
Today, I bought new earphones for my phone so I could finally listen to music again. Not an hour later I broke it. FML
Today, I got my new smartwatch that I ordered for myself on the promise that I would use it for tracking my new exercise routine. Instead, I used it for playing Pong whilst eating cake and drinking wine. FML
Today, I was thinking about my new diet and workout plan as I was getting dressed in the morning, feeling much thinner and more energetic. Just as the thought passed through my brain, the button on my skirt popped off. FML
Today, I wore a new shirt I was really pleased to have bought. As soon as I put it on, I noticed it was a bit tight, but I thought it would stretch out. By the end of the day, I looked like I was wearing a sausage casing. My coworkers couldn’t stop laughing. FML
Today, after losing 20 pounds, I decided to purchase new clothes. All of the clothes at the store were still too small for me. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. I was feeling good about it, until I realized that I'd forgotten my workout clothes and was wearing jeans. As I attempted to do squats in my tight jeans, I split them down the middle. FML
Today, I went to the gym to try to get into shape. While I was running on the treadmill, my beer belly pushed against the emergency stop button, twice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just put the band on your forearm. It doesn't have to go on your bicep. It still works the same.

You're a hunky monkey huh?

This reminded me of the roommate I had overseas. Only she would eat junk food all day after going to the gym... Anyway, try putting the arm band around your forearm instead of the upper part of your arm. That might work. And good luck on your path to a healthier you :)

You must be enormous. You don't need music to get in shape. Also put down the ding dongs.

Hostess is going out of business; no more ding dongs.

I, like many people, use music to get motivated and/or to prevents any outside distractions, allowing me to better focus on the task at hand.

You deserved it. You should check these things before buying something. However, don't be discouraged by it. Your failure at shopping doesn't mean you will fail in your efforts to drop weight. Adapt, improvise, and overcome.

Wear it on your forearm.
