Today, was the day I would turn my life around and start losing weight. I went outside for my first run and said, "I got this!" I confidently stepped forward, the first symbolic steps to my new life. In the anticipation, I forgot my porch had steps. I face-planted on my driveway. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to turn my life around and start exercising more. I didn't even make it out the door before I tripped and fractured my ankle. FML
Today, I went for a run to get in shape for the first time in ages. I put on my running shoes and hit the pavement. Halfway through, the sole of one shoe came off, and I had to hobble back home in embarrassment. FML
Today, I decided to begin jogging since my weight was getting a little out of control and I wanted to do something about it. Guess who tripped on a root and broke their ankle? Yeah. Exactly. FML
Today, I decided to start jogging again for the first time in months. I made it one block before tripping over the curb. I fell so hard, my phone flew out of my pocket and hit a parked car, setting off its alarm. I ran off when I saw house curtains all around me start to twitch. FML
Today, after finally getting over my ex, it felt like it was time to climb back into the dreaded dating pool. I also recognized that I need to get in shape to maximize my chances, so I went running. Half a mile in, I tripped over my own feet, landed face-first in a bush, and had to walk home covered in leaves. 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, I joined a gym. I’m overweight and not very athletic, so I was nervous. I looked around and tried a treadmill. I start walking at a chill pace, then got ambitious and cranked it to a "light jog." Within seconds, I tripped, fell, and sent the emergency stop button flying across the room. The gym staff ran over and I swear someone said, “Well, at least he’s trying.” FML
Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML
Today, I was getting ready for school and stepped out on my porch to go wait for the bus. I literally said out loud, “Today is gonna be a good day.” I took one step and fell all the way down the stairs. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML

I would say give op a cookie for trying but that seems a bit counterproductive.
TheNoobySpartan 13

Gravity, fat peoples worst enemy

#5, your name says it all.

Besides OP never said he/she was fat. Don't be that person.
awesomeamandas 37
gravity affects everyone, not just the heavier set people. besides, OP never said they were 'fat' for all you know they could be 20 pounds over weight.

A normal weight paired with a bad body image is more common than you think.

Hey I'm a fat people and I agree that gravity is my worst enemy. It's really hard on the knees!!

You do realize that gravity is constant, regardless of weight, right?
TheSwegMaster69 11
Also #56, you said you were a fat people, how many exactly?
junkman6 22
Yes gravity is constant and if you're fat it puts a much heavier load on you. Trust me this shit is scientifical. Oh and I'm usually considered 2 people rolled into 1. 260lbs at 6ft and I can still run a 4.8 40 and play 7s rugby without too much trouble. Just live by the phrase "ice up son."

Baby steps, OP.

You got this, OP! Dust yourself off and go for it. Also, you should probably pace yourself as ten minutes into the run your circulation will make your thighs feel like they are burning/itching.

I don't think you were supposed to take "hit the ground running" literally...

you ma'am have my vote for the top comment
mikepzz 27
Well they really didn't even get running, sorta just hit the ground lol

op, at least you made the effort to get up and get outside. A lot of people can't make it that far sometimes. The first step in a journey to change oneself is usually the hardest. Congrats on making that step. Just remember to take it slow if you haven't worked out in a long time. You could injury yourself...oh wait...nevermind

In OP's case the first step was the porch step, and she missed that one.

A for effort, OP
