Today, I finally went running to help me start losing weight. I got 50 metres before someone in a passing car shouted out "Run fatty, run". I can't work up the courage to go for a run again. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, about 10 minutes into my first jog in months, someone in a car started following me, yelling stuff like "Oh my god, it's Shamu!" and "Run faster, fatty!" I ended up breaking down in tears before he finally sped off, roaring with laughter. FML
Today, I achieved a personal goal by completing a half-marathon for charity, despite being overweight and unfit before training. When I finished I cried, not because I was proud of myself, but because I ran the last two miles while being followed by kids on bicycles calling me a "fat cunt". FML
Today, I went outside to start jogging for improving my ever declining fitness. A kind stranger yelled, “You’re doing great!” as I was wheezing after my first block. I was sitting on a bench. FML
Today, I went running. I live in a small town and people know me fairly well. It was dark when I went to avoid the heat. I was almost finished with my run when the cop comes up and asks me what I'm running from. Clearly being fat and out of shape is not a good enough alibi. FML
Today, I decided to get back into shape and go for a run. With a 1/4 mile left to run, I saw a hot chick a block ahead of me running. Trying to show off I ran hard and passed her stopping just outside my complex. I started to throw up right as she came past me because I had run so hard to pass her. FML
Today, I told my gym trainer I’d do anything to get in shape. He challenged me to run a mile without stopping. I agreed, then got winded halfway through and dramatically collapsed on the track. A 70 year-oldish woman jogged past me and said, “You’ll live.” FML
Today, was the day I would turn my life around and start losing weight. I went outside for my first run and said, "I got this!" I confidently stepped forward, the first symbolic steps to my new life. In the anticipation, I forgot my porch had steps. I face-planted on my driveway. FML
Today, I was walking home from the gym. I was thinking about how proud of myself I was for losing 34 pounds when someone yelled from a car window, "Look at that fat lump!" FML
Today, I told my mom I wanted to try out for the track team. Her exact words were "good luck, fatty". FML
Today, while going for my daily run, a woman stopped me and said, "I think it's so great that people of your size are comfortable enough to run and show their bodies in public." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Run in place, in your house. Don't go outside.

Don't let them get to you. Keep running and soon enough people will be shouting "Pump those skinny legs" and wolf whistling. Work it girl!

you could always do what I did and go running on trails in a park. everyone running there has the same goal in mind so no ridiculous comments from the peanut gallery.

Ahh, fuckem. You do what you wanna. The comenter who suggested the park trails was a good one. Sometimes, theres like, NOONE out there. its nice. quiet, and theres plenty of scenery to stop and look at when you want to rest. ^^ i wish you luck! just ignore the assholes and enjoy yourself

Heres where I stand with "fat" people. I see a "fat" person jogging.. Okay they are trying to better themselves thats fine. But when I see an overweight obese person on a machine that has to walk them through walmart.. I get a little annoyed. seriously? You need MACHINES to help you WALK? What gets me more upset is that they dont even try.. They let themselves be "fat". I feel like a douche by saying this but come on people. You can die if your that person and you dont even care? But to the ones willing to make an effort, good job. And to the scooter riding fatties, you make us look bad.

That is quite irritating, especially when you're a nine year old girl on crutches that cannot ride one cause all the damn fatties are on them. That's just pathetic. Think of someone other than yourself.
