Today, I found out the "free" protein bars at my gym are actually for a fundraiser for children's cancer. I've been taking one every day for the past two weeks. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, in an effort to be more healthy, I bought a pack of protein bars as a substitute for snacks. I ate all 5 of them in one sitting. FML
Today, a group of Girl Scouts came to my door selling chocolate bars. I bought two bars and smiled as they left, thinking I'd done a good deed. When the door closed, I heard one of the girls say, "Told you, the fat bitches always wanna buy from us." FML
Today, I determined that the only reason I still have a membership to my gym is that the special gummy bears they have in the vending machines are amazing. FML
Today, I got roped into a volunteering thing at the last minute. I was waiting outside with all these kids who looked hungry. Feeling bad, I passed around crisps and cookies. Turns out we were at a convention to promote healthy eating in malnourished children. FML
Today, I discovered that "team building exercise" really means free labor with no snacks. FML
Today, I grabbed a box of my favorite granola bars, the only flavor the brand makes without nuts, which I'm severely allergic to. A visit to the ER after my throat closed up told me that I'd missed the notice on the shelf, warning that they're now making them with peanuts. FML
Today, I decided to start working out because my friends said I'm scrawny and weak. I bought an expensive giant container of protein powder to take before during work outs. I wasn't strong enough to open the lid. FML
Today, I had 16 freakin' protein bars as a meal, the only meal of the day, as well as 5 apples after. I'm feeling like Yellowstone erupting in my guts right now. It hurts as fuck. FML
Today, I found out that when I thought the bullying had finally stopped, the bullies had actually been sponsored to be nice for charity. FML
Today, I found out the fund-raiser my uncle ran to raise money for his cancer treatment was all a sham, that he doesn't even have cancer, and that the money was to fund a coke habit nobody knew he even had. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I am assuming the worst here. From what I understood you thought there was free food at your gym. Right? Now just how many of the "free" bars did you take? Are we talking triple digits? Do you have the money to pay for them? Yes- Pay and live guilt free. Don't have the money? You have two choices. 1- Make a mental install.ent plan and pay little amount every week but don't pick up any more bars. or 2- Don't pay up and live with guilt (optional).

Hey guys OP here, I go to a rather fancy gym and they usually offer random snack/protein samples every once in a while. I just figured they were doing them consistently now and as a broke college student, I was pretty hyped. I took a total of 10 bars over the 2 weeks, never more than one a day. Basically the counter where the bars are and where you sign in is shaped like an L. The donation box which also has those rubber imprinted bracelets on it is at the very front, and the bars are at the end (so you'd check in, pay, and grab a bar on the way in). I never connected the two, just was focused on the free food. I explained to the front desk people what happened and made a $50 donation because I felt really bad and we all laughed but I still feel bad and still feel like they're judging me lol
