Today, I decided to work out. Being too embarrassed to run in public, I instead ran in circles in my basement. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided I would actually make use of my apartment complex's exercise equipment. My routine consisted of one mile on the treadmill, and 15 minutes on the toilet followed by 10 minutes of lying in the fetal position on my bath mat. Great core workout. FML
Today, after the longest time, I went to the gym. I ran and ran and ran on the treadmill for an eternity, beating myself up for getting so overweight. Then I tripped and fell off, sweating and sobbing for being so useless. When I looked up, I saw I'd been on the machine for barely 2 minutes. FML
Today, trying to get into shape because I run out of breath after walking more than 30 minutes, I started to hit the gym. Too bad my legs didn’t want to cooperate and decided that it would cause limping-worthy pain for every step I took on the treadmill. FML
Today, I was doing my usual routine at the gym which consists of working out on the treadmills right in front of my ex boyfriend to make him feel bad. Whilst doing this, I tried to be cool and do that thing where as the treadmill slows down you turn around and just walk off the end. I fell. FML
Today, I decided to start jogging and exercising, so I had a wonderful workout before work. Then I broke my foot at work. Goodbye exercising. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. On my way home, my legs gave out halfway up the stairs to my apartment, and I had to awkwardly sit there until I could crawl the rest of the way up. FML
Today, I did my workout at the gym instead of at home as I usually do, since I'm paranoid about people seeing up my shorts. I told myself to get over it, because it's impossible. After my extensive workout, I realized that there was a hole in the crotch of my shorts. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke 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 went to the gym to try to get into shape. While I was running on the treadmill, my beer belly pushed against the emergency stop button, twice. FML

Run those circles like a boss!

At least you were running instead of doing nothing. That's probably more than a lot of people can say.

You guys are all retarded, any form of physical activity whether it be running in circles or even sexual activity is burning calories. Im not overweight but ive been there, i dont want people to see me workout or run.

This sounds so familiar! I had no real other options besides running outside, but I still always feel awkward about it :-) That's why I go running early in the morning (6 AM).

It's a start, OP, don't let people get you down. Believe in the fact that you CAN lose the weight, even if it does not go as fast as you'd like. Good luck!

Good for you starting to run! Don't be embarrassed - what people see is someone who is making the effort to change. Google Hal Higdon for various training regimens for different distances for walkers and runners. Don't be ashamed - you're doing what most overweight people never do: lace up!! Stick with it and you'll see, the weight will come flying off. The advantage of exercise is you see results QUICKLY! If you lose 20 pounds, you don't much notice it in the mirror - but exercise for a couple of weeks and you will be impressed with who you see looking back at you before you shower. Go for it!!
