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

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?

Well then. I think you need to be more optimistic OP! You aren't single and fat! You're liberated and well endowed! Yeah. Sure. Can I get a cookie?

Go get fit Being fit = not single When not single confidence goes up Confidence = getting a job

12-Life is a chain reaction. You're totally right. OP, get your life back together. we believe in you.

Luckily the OP is a woman. A man would have to get a job before he could stop being single.

I've seen a lot of plus-sized women who are in relationships. But these guys are right OP you should change something, if you aren't happy with your body change that. Either how you see it or start being healthy, neither are easy. But in the end you won't be single! Most guys like girls who are confident, no matter what size she is.

get active, jogging helps burn fat down.

Why do people complain about how fat they are when they admit to sitting on their bum a good portion of the day? Get out there and work out if you're unhappy with yourself! I did and lost 15 pounds of fat and got 7 in muscle. Be active in a different way than just whining about yourself.

^ Completely agree with you! I did the same thing and lost closer to 75 pounds. :) Little bit of motivation, determination, and education goes a long way. :)

Right? Not to be mean, but if you really want something go do it!

There's the option of getting a job, losing weight, and getting a boyfriend. Good luck :)

Get a dog. Not a lazy one, a high energy pooch that needs to be walked daily or he will shred your furniture. You'll get in shape. You'll meet other dog owners. And you'll stop focusing on your own misery so much when you have to take care of someone else. Youll be happier and probably get hired too.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself, get out of your lazy ass state and get to the gym, while your at it, get a little confidence! Everyone is beautiful!!
