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

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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!

Welcome to America OP. Maybe you could jog/run with music so you don't hear queers like that.

It amazes me that anyone could have so much hatred for 'Fat' people. Fat people are just fat, and it's usually due to a medical or mental condition or genetic problem. It's not their fault. People who hate fat people are prejudice assholes with no sense of human decency. They make the choice to be shitty. Be brave fat lady! I'm rooting for you! Fat people can get help and at least get healthier. There's no medical procedure or diet plan that can fix an Shit-head.

P.S. You're beautiful and brave for trying, you're bad-ass for getting over it and trying again, and you're ******* Wonder Woman if you just push yourself a little more every day. Good Luck!

No, sorry. Fat people are usually fat because they eat too much and/or exercise too little. Really, I don't want to be mean or anything, but the causes you sum up are not the main reason why people are fat. I don't have feelings of hatred towards fat people at all, but it does bother me that so many of them claim it's not their fault. Because in most cases, it is.

If you are simply eating too much, and exercising too little, and it is hurting your health, I would consider that a mental issue. That individual is either in a state of denial or has somehow rationalized that what they are doing is NOT harming them. Feel free to argue all you want about that, people have been doing it for years, it's called psychology.

I'm a psychology student, so I know what it's called, thank you. You can't consider everything to be a mental issue; some people just aren't motivated to lose weight, aren't strong enough to fight the temptations etc etc. Of course there are people with BED, who try to eat their emotions away, but there are also people who are just too lazy to do something about it. I really feel for people that are obese due to medication or other things out of ther control (which, IMO, includes mental problems) but I've seen enough fat people complaining about not knowing why they're so fat and claiming they can't do anything about it while stuffing their faces with supersize menus and 1L sugarcontaining soda. And that bothers me.

Those people just do that to make them feel better about themselves, those assholes. Dont let them affect you! Run and be proud of it! :)

Sadly enough, this is at least the fifth post I've commented on today concerning this issue...You get why these assholes do it don't you?? They're are so self-concious and have such low self-esteem that instead of trying to better themselves, they break down everyone around them...They're lazy, and instead of pushing themselves onto a higher level in society, they try and drag everyone down to theirs...the best thing you can do? Don't let them...Let those ***** die lonely on their sewer level..and keep running :)

Starr off at your local fitness center on a treadmill if you're that self conscious don't worry about others tho.. they are just taking out their insecurity on those who will get their feelings hurt easy..
