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 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
Today, thinking I was pretty healthy, I signed up for a 5K run. I didn’t train at all, thinking, “How hard can it be?” Halfway through, I realized I was in way over my head. I ended up walking the rest of the race, and a 70-year-old man lapped me twice. To make it worse, my friends made a banner that said, “Congratulations on Not Dying!” FML
Today, I took part in a charity run for a good cause. I'd trained for months and showed up, only to trip and fall flat on my face at the starting line. I spent the rest of the race with scraped knees and a bruised ego. 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
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, I was having a race with a little kid. I let him win to make him feel like a champion. After the race, he turned to me and said, "Maybe if you weren't so fat you would have won." FML
Today, I did a sprint in gym class. Despite being the skinniest in the class, I ran slower than everyone else, including two morbidly obese people. FML
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 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

That's absolutely horrible I'm so sorry :( tbh I don't think I could've finished it if that had happened to me. You must be very strong willed. Congrats and sorry again.

Someone should have taken a stick and stuck it through their wheels and watch them face plant on the pavement like the little sh*ts they are. I don't care if I get thumbed down. Cruel brats deserve what they give.

Exactly how is this a "you deserved it" moment?

Some people just have an irrational fear/hatred of overweight people. Trust me; I've been in OP's situation and mocked for no reason other than to be hated for having extra weight.

I weigh 120lbs and couldn't finish a race if I tried. You are awesome. Ignore the selfish ignorant kids and keep it up.

Congratulations! You pushed yourself and achieved what you wanted to. You did a fantastic job and the bunch of kids sound like they might be some losers in life if that how they are treating people and criticizing someone for their achievements. You need to be proud of yourself and not let some kids on bikes ruin what you just achieved!

I read the part about the kids saying **** and I automatically knew that this took place in Britain

That's so awful. Those children would not say that if their mothers where around. That's disgusting and rude. Those kids need an ass whooping.

Eh, I don't know. A lot of parents are pretty oblivious about their children's habits and behaviors. Some of them write it off as young people slang or "newfangled" horseplay, while many think their kids are perfect in every way and should be allowed to belittle others. The rest of the parents aren't even in the picture.
