Today, I got my new smartwatch that I ordered for myself on the promise that I would use it for tracking my new exercise routine. Instead, I used it for playing Pong whilst eating cake and drinking wine. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was excited about my new fitness tracker that I decided to go for a run to test it out. Midway through, I looked down and realized I'd forgot to turn it on. FML
Today, I decided to try a new fitness tracker. After walking around all day, I looked at my app to check how many steps I’d taken, only to realize the tracker had counted every time I flailed my arms in frustration trying to figure out how to set it up. FML
Today, I sneezed so hard, my smartwatch congratulated me for starting a workout. It ended up being the most exercise I got all day. FML
Today, my smartwatch notified me mid-meeting, saying “You’ve been inactive for an hour, get moving!” I stood up instinctively to “stretch,” only to trip over my chair and send my water bottle flying across the boardroom table. FML
Today, my smartwatch detected what it thought was a fall and called emergency services. What was I doing? Dramatically flopping on the couch to binge-watch five episodes of a dating show. Paramedics showed up while I was still clutching a bag of Cheetos. FML
Today, my smartwatch decided I needed a "stress level" alert during a perfectly calm meeting. It vibrated aggressively, and my boss suggested I take up yoga. FML
Today, I bought a new armband to hold my iPhone while working out so I can listen to music and I was excited to start getting in shape. Unfortunately, when I tried it on, my arm was too big and it didn't fit. FML
Today, I had a plan. I was going to get up early, eat a well balanced breakfast, put on my workout clothes and enjoy this beautiful day with a fulfilling jog. Instead, I put on my workout clothes, spent hours on social media, ate a pizza, and ended up falling asleep on my couch. FML
Today, after having my Apple Watch for a year, it asked me something it has never asked me before. As I began my hike around a lake, 10 minutes in, it asked if I was starting to workout. I hit yes, and it then congratulated me on my very first workout. FML
Today, my fitness tracker congratulated me on reaching 10,000 steps. Feeling slightly proud of myself for sticking to my health goals, I went to bed early, only to find out it was counting the steps I took pacing around, trying to find my lost keys for two hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Never too late to put that watch to good use, OP!

You can't cheat the grind. It knows how much you've invested. It won't give you anything you haven't worked for.

At least you got your priorities right!

You're going to watch yourself get fat like that.

Yeah and it's entirely OP'S fault. You can't come on a website and complain that you sat your lazy ass down and drank wine and ate cake when no one shoved the cake down your throat and no one poured the wine into your mouth and no one tied you down and stopped you from getting the **** up and excerising. You want to excerise? ******* do it. No one can do it for you, so you better start figuring out how to stop sitting your ass around doing jack shit.

Someone's gonna get offended by my comment because we live in a world where when someone is called out for their shit they need to be coddled and put in a safe zone, so let me be the first to say I don't excerise. I don't. And I indulge in fattening foods. But one thing I don't do is bitch and moan that I'm not excerising and that I'm eating fattening foods because I know it's entirely my doing. If I wanted to change it, it's entirely up to ME. No one can force you to excerise and eat healthy, so don't ******* complain that you aren't when it's your fault. That's all I've got to say. If you're offended, find a safe zone and cry about it.

Mikaykay, I feel like you need a hug.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you 13, but some people have different metabolisms, which make it more difficult to lose weight than others. For example, me and my friend have been doing the same workouts the same amount of time together, and he has lost significantly more weight than me. We believe that our metabolisms are the cause for that.

Also, our diets are fairly similar as well.

23: The point is that OP isn't trying at all though compared to people who try and struggle.

It can be disheartening the other way as well. Look at your watch, oh look I climbed 105 flights today and took 22,000 steps. God I'm wore out.

I don't need a watch to tell me that. My knees do that for me.

If being worn out from exercising is disheartening for you then I have bad news...

Well, pong can count as an exercise routine if you don't think too much about it.

at least you'll never need to ask for the time
