Today, for my birthday, my friends and family gave me: A Wii Fit, a free year at the gym and a book of diet recipes. They didn't consult with each other. I've asked for "something corresponding to me". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, for my birthday, my friend bought me a book on how to lose weight. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. FML
Today, I got Wii Fit, Wii Mario Kart and Wii Mario Galaxy for my birthday, I don't have a Wii. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. I was hoping to get a car. Instead, my parents got me a three month membership at the gym so I can lose weight. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My mom and three other relatives each bought me a copy of Diablo 3 for my birthday. A video game that I didn't ask for, for a console I don't have. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My parents got me a box of cupcakes. My brother got me a deck of cards. My aunt got me a brochure on how to quit smoking. I have diabetes, I don't play cards, and I don't smoke. FML
Today, my mom signed me up for Weight Watchers as a surprise birthday present. FML
Today, I went to dinner with friends for my birthday. During the whole thing they insisted that we get whatever we wanted and celebrate, but when the check came, they all looked at me expectantly. I just bought my friends $150 of food for my birthday present. FML
Today, my son bought me some Slimfast for my birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Seriously! I'd be happy with all of that stuff, especially a free year at the gym, seeing as memberships are way expensive.

SERIOUSLY. I pay every month to get to go to a gym. And would KILL for a wii and wii-fit. There are so many ridiculously awesome games designed around getting your heart pumping. My cousin uses Wii and the work out games and has visibily lost weight. She does it every morning and says its fun because she feels like shes either just playing a game or working with a trainer. To the other commenters: Think about it. The OP is probably very over-weight. Or at least moderately. Enough for her friends and family to feel some concern individually... So their idea of a good gift is probably as far away from physical activity as possible. I had a friend who HATED doing physical activity. I mean we would go out to the beach and park so we could walk around and enjoy the day (we weren't going swimming...) and the whole time she complained about how far we had to walk. It was like seriously? It's an extra 4 blocks. This person is the type who prefers being on the computer and who's idea of socializing is sitting around watching TV. It's sad too, cause these types of people don't realize the benefits to being active that have nothing to do with level of fitness. You're happier when you move around, you experience more, and it helps with social skills. Sigh. Sad...

Totally! And if you asked for gifts corresponding to you, then maybe they just thought that you are interested in being healthy, not that you NEED to lose weight. I would love for someone to give me those gifts. Be grateful that you have such awesome friends who obviously care about you.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks the OP is being ungrateful! I'm not overweight and I would LOVE to receive those things!

Agreed. OP, you are being slightly ungrateful. Many would beg you upside-down to get that membership. The wii fit and the awesome cookbook to top it all off? Man, you're lucky. On the ever brighter side you have friends who care for you and your health.

Exactly. They care enough about you to be concerned about your health. Be grateful you have people who care about you.
