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

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
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.

My fear of something like this happening is exactly what keeps me from exercising in public.

Some people are just mean and stupid. You should be proud of yourself for finishing, that's really awesome. Especially that you did it for charity.

I know I will receive much hate for this comment but u kinda deserved it. U didnt deserve the cruel words but I hope you can take this as a wake up call and try to get control of your weight. Get fit and show those kids who's boss. Good luck OP :)

If she didn't deserve the cruel words, then what exactly are you saying OP deserved?

Clearly OP is in pretty good health if she can run a half-marathon. Sometimes someone has a body type where they can be in good health and still appear/be considered overweight, especially women. Making that kind of comment on a post that says OP is DOING things to maintain health (you know...running or at least walking over 13 miles...) makes you seem like a judgmental asswipe. Just sayin'.

To me it seems like anyone who can run 21 km is in decent enough shape.

OP says overweight and unfit before training, which to me indicates that there was progress towards "weight control." But how could you say she didn't deserve the words but does deserve a wakeup call? clearly OP is working on it already. I don't think it's a wake up call she needs from anyone. I think it's RESPECT for making any progress at all.

I just knew there was gonna be a miserable **** of a human saying she deserved this for her being apparently "unhealthy". ********.

Something's seriously wrong with this generation /: don't stoop to their level. People like them never go anywhere in life

If I was there and witnessed that, I would have shoved a stick in the lead kid's bicycle spokes and watched them all crash, (Then I'd run away giggling).
