Today, I got so self-conscious about weight gain that I got paranoid about how much my Castle Crashers character was eating to heal. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was feeling really good about myself for running and walking everywhere so much so that I was out of breath and panting. Well, until I remembered that I was playing a video game and it was my character that was doing the running around that is. FML
Today, I had a dream in which I was eating vast quantities of pizza, cookies, and pastries. I became so anxious about all the calories that I woke up. Even in my dreams I'm self conscious about my diet. FML
Today, my girlfriend asked me if she looked fat in her new pair of jeans. Knowing I was probably about two seconds away from all hell breaking loose, I instinctively tried to save my game, before remembering I wasn't playing a video game. I really need to get a life. FML
Today, while getting ready for work, I realized that all my pants were getting a bit tight. When I got home from work, I went in to the bathroom and stood on the scale, which confirmed that I have gained a few pounds. I then realized that I was eating while standing on the scale. FML
Today, I found out that I've been using a "Trick Scale" that my family bought to boost my self esteem so I'd think I was losing weight. I found this out at my physical, where I learned I have actually gained ten pounds. FML
Today, I noticed I was starting to get a double chin. I’ve only just gotten to a healthy weight after a serious battle with anorexia. FML
Today, I got scared by my own leg fat. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, a close friend pointed out to me how ironic it is that I make the Sim version of myself work out to lose weight, while I sit on my fat ass playing video games. FML
Today, it seems I do, in fact, have an addiction to food. My employer has put on a weight loss challenge with a 1000$ prize, and on day 5 of 100 I'm already lying to the calorie counting app I installed on my phone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

OP here! Time to clear a few things up. I used to have a LOT of issues about my weight! I am better now but still have some moments like this one, but try to laugh them off knowing I am at a healthy weight now! I still exercise in marching band and eat healthy meals. And yeah, I love gaming. I do it a little more than I should, and play dozens of games. So, thanks for the input for those who are giving actual advice! Those with insults? I don't really care what you think :)

You're not self-conscious, you have issues.

Who says they're not just vials of lard?

Lol don't play Runescape then lmao
EpicJman2828 11
27, Do you see the word Runescape in the FML at all?
Bano360 25
#41 I think he might be indicating that there's a lot of eating in Runescape? I'm not sure though.
AllieCat21 21
"My Castle Crashers character" not Runescape.
Bano360 25
51, 27 was telling OP not to play Runescape then. I don't know about you but I think he's telling him not to play it.
Kamon97 23
You idiots Im mentioning Runescape because the whole game is basically you spam clicking large amounts of food to heal. Way to ruin a joke -.-
Kamon97 23
And yes 41 you're right in runescape you're basically eating whole sharks to heal :p at least someone gets it >.>
then000bster 16
Kamom only noobs use butt tons of food to heal in that game unless you are extremely poor... Please don't mention a game where it's prime has passed... Incase you think, oh he didn't play it, I'm a walking encyclopedia of that game. 99's all the way. Castle crashes is an immensely fun game, if you take the time to enjoy it :)

She also would deffinately not like the beginning of Mabinogi lol.

Maybe she's saving her monies for pets. Plus, if she dies a lot then potions can become expensive.

eat it to beat it...

You're not self-conscious, you have issues.

Exactly. How the heck are there more FYLs than YDIs?
Faff 20
this FML has "denial' written all over it
addioty 19
Guys, it still is a FYL. Eating disorders aren't anyone's fault and they horrible and extremely hard to get over. I'm appalled someone would say "YDI" -- as if anyone DESERVES an eating disorder. I'm not trying to be rude, but I wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy.
BirdieCurls 25
wait how did we get to eating disorders?

Don't stress about weight, if you're really self conscious about it then try the gym and work out, also listening to music while working out motivates me so don't worry about your weight because I'm sure you're perfect :)

If you see your shoes, you're fine.

When I look down I see my triple chin only. How am I doing?
SuperGrover10 20
I see my shoes! They may be across the room, but I can still see them.

Don't play Kirby!!
TyT63 12
unless Kirby swallows something skinny
naznafeathers 22
He'd "realistically" still gain weight unless he strictly ate Maxim tomatoes xD
NeatNit 33
isn't it canon that he is practically a black hole or a wormhole?

I dunno I think it's better to work on weight loss by exercising more than just cutting down on food, so you don't have to be so paranoid about what you eat... :o
Mshrodes 13
Exercising isn't a solution for everybody when it comes to weight loss. Obviously, it's healthier and less risky than a diet, (especially when we know those hardly work 70 percent of the time), but exercising works only for people who want to tighten up their stomach/arms/thighs...whereas some girls just want to lose the fat without "turning it into" muscles.

15- No matter your gender, lean muscle can really help your everyday functions and look. When girls exercise their chest, it lifts up their bust. When girls exercise their glutes or lower back, it lifts up their butts. And so on. As long as she's not trying to get built and bulky, then she's fine.

I'm sorry #15 but saying "exercising isn't for everybody" is just a cop out to be lazy. Sure, you can just diet without exercise but 1) it'll take longer and 2) you'll most likely fall back into bad habits anyway. Exercise not only helps with weight loss, but the endorphins released will make you feel good about yourself in general.

15-I'd just like to say that exercise is not just limited to things like hardcore running or weight training, etc. Exercising is a huge topic and there are things like yoga or Pilates, noncompetitive swimming, walking, etc. that can help you slim without bulking up too much...

I find the more worried you are about something the more it seems to get worse. Just eat healthy and try to do exercise but don't make yourself cry over it or anything.

I am the same way. When I play Hungry Hungry Hippos, I eat one marble and say, "Thats sensible, I will eat another marble in about 3-4 hours."

If it`s said by a doctor, it must be true then
