Today, I decided to motivate myself to workout by looking at a picture of a guy with a six-pack on my computer screen while doing abs. My dad walked in after I finished and was still breathing heavily from working out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the gym after months of procrastinating. I walked straight into the glass wall next to the entrance instead of the door. A guy lifting near the front desk winced in sympathy. I still worked out, but I could see my face slowly swelling in the mirror. FML
Today, I was at the gym on the elliptical. Feeling proud of myself for finishing a very intense workout, I looked to my left to see that the maintenance guy fixing the machine next to me had burned more calories testing the machine than I did during my entire workout. FML
Today, I told my dad I was gonna to start working out again. He looked at me with honest confusion on his face and said, "You worked out before?" My mother started laughing. She was all the way upstairs. FML
Today, I told my dad I was going to the gym. He stood up and clapped. FML
Today, at the gym, I caught sight of myself in the mirror while lifting weights and thought, “Damn, I look good!” I smiled. Then I realized the mirror was actually a window. A group of people outside had been watching me flex with a shit-eating grin on my face for God know how long. FML
Today, I was at the gym running with intensity on the treadmill. As I was working out, I noticed a few guys behind me staring at me. I figured they were checking me out because I was losing some weight and looking better. Turns out they were betting on how much longer "Fat Ass" could last. FML
Today, I finally felt motivated to do some exercise. As I got my weights out, I noticed out of the corner of my eye someone moving about outside my window. I got scared and dropped a weight on my foot. The person outside was my own reflection. FML
Today, I was working out at the gym. A very attractive girl was watching me work out, so feeling like a stud, I tried to lift a really heavy weight. I failed, got trapped, and watched helplessly as she walked away laughing. FML
Today, while working out at the gym, I paused to check out a beautiful woman. The guy behind me said "Are you going to do your set or are you going to keep staring at my wife?" FML
Today, I decided to start my exercise video routine. It's an African dance workout DVD. Just as I felt confident and motivated about getting in shape, I realized that my window was wide open and my neighbors were getting a front row seat to me waving my arms in the air like an idiot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Next time try and motivate yourself while looking at a female bodybuilder, still awkward but at least she doesn't have a penis

To me, this seems like the perfect opportunity to play mind games with your dad.

Haha yeah OP can have some fun with this. This is good so that he can see his dads opinion on someone who is gay.

"Yeah, dad. How about those abs? They make me want to do some weights with some gay bar--I mean barbells. By the way, have you seen my glitter and Justin Bieber cd?"
SqueakyChipmunk 22
42) Even gay guys hate Justin Bieber. I know a couple who hate him with a passion.
tacovender 7
People keep calling beiber gay. Gays don't want him either.
onlychildFTW 34
Well I'll admit that yes I'm a guy. But a few of Justin biebers new songs are not that bad. But that's just my opinion.
chetchatter 5
I would be one of those guys that hate justin beaver with a passions...

In this situation, I would have looked down for a brief moment, then with my most serious face look him in the eye, and say " Dad, I think it's time for you to leave." and look back at my screen until he left.

So now he thinks you are gay, the exact thing happened to my friend while he was looking for new boxers online. OP I feel you pain.
deOrca 8
So...you feel OP's pain because a your FRIEND went through something similar?

Explain the situation! Sounds suss though
TheDrudgeChild 4
What the **** does suss mean?
CustardAndPie 13
#62, here in England, "suss" is slang for "figure". (IE, you can suss out the solution to a problem.) Something about the context gives me the impression that #4 might be using it as an abbreviation of "suspect", though. Or possibly slang for "sorted". Although having slang words to replace slang words seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Suspicious.

Good advice, but I think I'd rather just listen to music. No one is going to judge you for that.

I hate this phone app, I commented on #1s comment and it pushed it to yours. Sorry for the inconvenience everyone.
xoconnie 8
LOL awkward at first but no big deal after u explain it to him.. unless he doesnt believe u of course :/ good luck man.
xoconnie 8
oops sorry!

Listen to breakdown of sanity. That's all the motivation you'll ever need. Be warned though it's not for the faint of heart.

20- #1 is no more with us.... Moment of silence please...
HollyDolly660 8
Just look at a picture of a super hot girl and tell yourself you're not going to get her or any girl that hot with your current physique. That should be good motivation.

Female bodybuilders aren't that great looking, in my opinion. Just keep a mental image in your head instead of on your computer screen.

With all the steroids she takes, she's probably close to having one anyways...

That must've been uncomfortable for the both of you.

Happy birthday :)
Drew167 8
Thanks .
Bonzer 2
His birthday is the 17th. Today is the 16th.
boofgall 16
42- uh, it says the 16th on his profile, so what are you going by?
Fatalally 4
Says 6/17/1994 for me. Maybe it's just the app?
Fatalally 4
...that or I'm just missing the sarcasm.
Drew167 8
It's the 17th but I figured it was a glitch so I didn't want to be an asshole about it.
AlexV17 0
It's the 16th for me glitch I guess well now it's 17th HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
jackassiddy 8
Don't worry OP, I "motivate" myself at least once a day. ;)
auzz1_pride 9
It's the effort that counts... Even if all the movement is with one hand.

I can just imagine him staring at you, than just walking away
boofgall 16
then*, otherwise there's a totally different meaning to what you're saying.
TheDrudgeChild 4
29 - I had the mental image of OP's dad staring at him, contemplating walking away, then deciding not to and continuing to stare. The "than" makes it much funnier.

Must have been ABSolutely awkward.

Cute

Have fun making eye contact for the next few weeks.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
The only excuse for that would be a Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee poster.
Hockeyboy4280 18
Mentioning Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris in the same category eh? Bruce Lee- changed martial arts forever, culturally diffused it into American society. An educated man who can be quoted at any time. Chuck Norris- a B rate actor.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
I personally like Jackie Chan better.

I can only imagine what your father thought. lol
