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

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?

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.

Maybe you should stop playing castle crusher for an hour and go to the gym or take a walk and then resume playing? You'll feel a lot better about yourself :)

You're literally probably wasting twice as much time playing videosgames as you could be using to jog.

If you only gained a little weight, its nothing to stress over. Just monitor your weight and maintain it or lose some if you're concerned. If it was a significant gain, you can keep it or lose it either way with hard work and dedication to do so. However if its weight that's needed to be gained for you OP, then that could be more than just paranoia creeping around the corner. Do what makes you feel happy and if that means shedding some pounds to achieve it, you will! :) remind you, for your character... I guess that's a bit past paranoia on a game.

Why is everyone so worried about weight? I love a woman with meat on her. My ex was short and around 300 lbs. We split cause she got lap band and then when lost her weight, started dating a coworker. Best thing that ever happened to me.

Seems to me that she realized you're a loser. When she lost all her extra weight she got her confidence back and found someone good.

Actually from what I hear since we split she lost everything. House, car, bf, job. So take it how you want. Me, I'm doing great and with a wonderful woman.

Lol OP, you think the Castle Crashers eat a lot of food? Ever played Minecraft?

Minecraft characters dont eat a lot, one minecraft day is 20 real life minutes, you could say they eat very little...

#35 if you keep sprinting, by the end of the day you could've eaten about 10 steaks. Or 25 chicken. Still not enough? 50 melon slices
