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

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!

Way to go, at least 50 meters is a start... get out and do it again, or you'll be fat the rest of your life.

when you finally decide to get SERIOUS about weight loss...it won't matter what anyone says... it's for your life,your reasons, no one will stop you with just words. least of all some punk in the street who probably thinks his 2" pecker is a 10" monster bat my wife has lost 20 pounds and 28 inches this year...and she throws out all the old "fat clothes"so she can't go back... the workouts are part of a "lifestyle change" I hope you enjoy yours! remember ignore the scale and use a tape measure when you get started

20 pounds and 28 inches? must be a typo
bachooka 5
it's not necessarily a typo if his wife started with little to no muscle. and inches are a collective thing. so you add up what's off your waist, your arms and your bust. like I have lost 15inches off my waist + 12 inches from both thighs and 6 from my arms and 12 from my hips. so that's why inches are usually higher that weight. mines about the same tho... 45lbs, 45inches. lol. good job to your wife sir!

many other options: get a treadmill, run in place, OR build up the courage to go outside & run instead of using that as an excuse to stop exercising.
