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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, for my birthday, my friend bought me a book on how to 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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI, you know how much they spent on those gifts?? Chances are you probably have talked about wanting to lose weight. Better put those gifts to good use.

Wah wah wah you're fat and everyone knows it. How about instead of crying about it, you do something to change it. Notice your friends are worried about your health, you should be grateful at least they care about something you don't.

A year-worth of membership in a gym?!? It can cost over 400$ you know. You have one of those rare friends that will actually spend that much money because he cares about your health, and you find a way to complain? YDI, and also you don't deserve having friends like that.

For real. I wish somebody would give me a year membership to a good gym! Oh, and for all you reading this, this is an open invitation to get me one. Listen, OP. The Gym is a great place to relieve stress, feel good about your accomplishments, and get in shape. I don't know whether you're fat or not, but I've noticed a lot of posters on this site complain about being fat. Go to the gym, once you're there, you can talk to other people there and I'm sure someone will be willing to help you out getting a decent workout plan going. The hardest part to getting in shape (as well as staying in shape) is getting TO the gym. Once you're there, more then half the battle is won. Oh, and I'll take that book on dieting recipes. I can't cook for shit and that would help my abs poke through!

It seems to me that your friends and family really care about you and want you to be/stay healthy. That's not an FML.

Shit. I'm fat (just had a baby 3 months ago- C-Section), and I'd LOVE those gifts.I was going to the gym last year before I got pregnant, trying to get my fat ass into shape, and I loved it. I had to quit because my OB didn't want me doing intense exersises. I just picked up walking instead. As soon as I feel up to it, I have a free month pass to 2 different gyms, and I can volunteer in the child minding area at my old gym and earn my membership. I've got lots of time. I'm a stay at home mom. Anyway, you're lucky! Don't complain. Use them. It's not like your friends are telling you something you didn't already know (at least I hope not... I mean... I don't need anyone telling ME that I'm fat... I already know it...).... They just want you to live longer... keep you around, you know?
