Today, I made a Sim of myself and had her work out until she was completely fit, then got her a job and a husband. Meanwhile, I sat at my desk, fat, single, and jobless. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while playing The Sims 2, I realized I had a virtual person's whole life planned out, and have nothing planned out for myself. FML
Today, I played The Sims just so I'd know what it was like to live alone, own a home, and have a well-paying job that didn't slowly kill me from the inside out. It was the happiest I've been in months. FML
Today, a close friend pointed out to me how ironic it is that I make the Sim version of myself work out to lose weight, while I sit on my fat ass playing video games. FML
Today, I just realized that my Sims character has a far more stable lifestyle than what I can ever have. FML
Today, my husband of ten years was playing the Sims. I asked him about the house he built. Apparently, it was his dream house, and he recreated himself as a Sim so he could live in it. Then I asked him where the wife was. There was no wife. It was his happy place. FML
Today, I spent a good hour playing a life simulation game so my character could go through the stages of pregnancy and labor, only to jealously cry for an hour because my character can successfully get pregnant and have a baby, and I can't. FML
Today, after learning that my wife has been cheating on me, I decided to distract myself by playing The Sims. Not long after I began, my Sim's wife basically started cheating on him. FML
Today, like every day, I scrolled through my social media feeds, seeing happy couples, people buying houses and landing their dream jobs. I, on the other hand, am a single 23 year-old man in a dead end job, who still lives with his parents. FML
Today, my son was playing The Sims, when I saw him remove the door to a room and set it on fire with a Sim trapped inside. I chuckled at first, until I saw that the Sim was me. Meanwhile, my wife's Sim was happily painting in the next room, not giving a crap. All too accurate, sadly. FML
Today, I woke up on my day off as a family man. Yesterday I played an AI game where I went back to my college days in the 2000s. I recreated those days as they were, and it brought back many memories. The problem? The game let me create the perfect girlfriend. I regret dating my now ex-wife back then more than ever. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So lift your ass and do something about it - you realize you need to, but you won't do it? Guess you like being single, fat and jobless. Sad, really, but glad people post this sort of thing, because it makes me more motivated to NOT be like that.

Quit playing Sims and complaining about your life and do something to change it.

All you got to do is instead of playing sims all day and feeling sorry for yourself go out into the world find a job(preferably a physically active job) get a work out regiment and stop being lazy. After this I bet you a million dollars you can get with someone. Confidence is key.

Even lazy, fat people can get someone sometimes. You're right, confidence is key; confidence also works for those who aren't pin thin.

OP, of being jobless, overweight and single, I can offer some advice on the the waist line issue: It's easy to sit back and say "Diet and exercise" to you, but I know you won't find that very helpful because it lacks specifics. You need a routine, a healthy eating plan, realistic goals, and some support. Since you have Internet, look up national food guide recommendations. Look up your recommended daily calorie intake and start writing down what you eat, it'll make you aware of what you take in. (I use a calorie counter app myself) Google if there's a support group for active people in your area, or community sports just to increase your activity level and to socialize/meet people. Find a jogging/power walking partner the same way. (Continues....)
