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.

Stop playing Castle Crashers and go out and do something. Walk, ride a bike etc. The game will still be there, just limit your time on that could also help :)

Maybe a counselor could help... this definitely toes the line into eating disorder...

anorexia...that's a real mental disorder. we learned about it in Health this week. you should see a doctor

As an eating disorder sufferer, this is concerning. Go to a doctor, OP.

As long as you're happy with yourself, that's what matters. Besides, judging by your picture, you look good. :)

A little more gaming than you should... It's like you're speaking in tongues!.. Or since it's typing would it be 'typing in...' 'Fingers?' 'Keys?' Anyways, stay away from Fat Princess ;D

It's always good to know that you feel better about yourself. Struggling with a weight issue or an eating disorder is almost always a lifetime struggle, but with support of family and friends it makes it easier. Just remember that it's a game, your character can get as fat or skinny and you want and won't have any affect on you, after all it's not like your eating the virtual chicken leg (or whatever).

Definite thumbs up for castle crashers.

Good for you OP :)

#84, perhaps re-read the FML again. There was no mention in the FML about other people commenting on OP's weight except with her own self conscious issues (which everyone has regardless) that would suggest other wise about caring what others think. The only indication is with what she thinks about herself which you can do without having outside influences to give you that way of thinking to begin with. So yes, you're partly right except she only cares about what she thinks of herself and not what others may see her as.

I admire your bluntness, 91. Perhaps you should live in Wannado, Australia.

I am seeing so many people commenting on profile pictures everywhere on FML. Do people actually take the time to click on them and look at them, or is there some special version of the site where they are much larger? On the desktop site, the profile pictures next to the comments look so tiny that I can barely make out anything. Is this the case for everyone else?

Well I'm sorry that you feel this way, but it's good to know that you feel allot better OP
