Today, I'm so out of shape, I started wheezing on my way to check my mailbox. Not my physical mailbox, either; my email inbox on the phone I'd left on the table at the bottom of the stairs. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm so out of shape that I got winded from getting out of bed. FML
Today, trying to get into shape because I run out of breath after walking more than 30 minutes, I started to hit the gym. Too bad my legs didn’t want to cooperate and decided that it would cause limping-worthy pain for every step I took on the treadmill. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months. On my way home, my legs gave out halfway up the stairs to my apartment, and I had to awkwardly sit there until I could crawl the rest of the way up. FML
Today, I realised just how grossly out of shape I am, when I started violently sweating, felt light-headed, and almost blacked out. All this from helping my sister shift a sofa from the move-in truck to her living room. FML
Today, I ran out of breath while mowing the lawn. I was on a riding lawn mower. FML
Today, after running across London to catch my train, I collapsed, panting, into a seat across from a concerned elderly woman. She leaned over to ask whether I had my inhaler and I smiled and nodded. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I'm not asthmatic, just really unfit. FML
Today, I got extremely winded from adjusting my blanket. What a workout. FML
Today, I sneezed so hard I fell down the stairs. FML
Today, I'm so out of shape that my arm ached after lifting chips out of a Lays bag. FML
Today, as I was taking out the trash, I spotted my cute neighbor doing the same. In a rush to get out before he went back inside, I slipped on my iced-over porch. I passed out and woke up with a note on my chest saying, "I unlocked your door but you were too heavy to drag inside". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Time to get some exercise. Slow and steady. You may of deserved this but it's never to late to start fixing it.

Maybe you need some motivation there is nothing like getting chased by dogs
BigLatchZatch 14
I read that as hogs... Either way works I suppose.
MrSassypants 34
I read that as chasing hot dogs.... I'll show myself out.

I agree. OP wasn't even going UP the stairs. She was going down. Start exercising and stop sitting around on your phone all day. Your body will thank you.

That sounds just as bad as trying to squeeze cupcake icing out of a tube...

37, OP is male. Still, maybe he should start to get in shape by using the stairs more often.

Have, not of. "You may HAVE deserved this".

It's a wonder op made it up the stairs in the first place aha..

At least you didn't pass out

well.... let's hope your internet doesn't run too quickly so you can keep up with it!

I guess it runs in the family...oh wait

You should really work out! Its good for you buddy ;)

I'm pretty sure that's not out of shape, just fat

23, being out of shape doesn't always have much to do with weight. It is possible to be skinny and out of shape, too.
littlekellilee 45
It's true. I'm 110lbs and eat almost completely candy, and I never work out. I would never consider myself in shape or healthy.
sturschaedel 27
It's absolutely possible to be fat and healthy. As long as you are not morbidly obese, have a low percentage of visceral fat and have enough muscle structure and fitness to exercise (and do that, too), there are almost no health drawbacks from being chubby.

#23 it has nothing to do with fat. i remember almost passing out frm washing my hair. And i was at my thinnest that period of my life.

Can you wait till payday? I don't have that much cash.
thefmlman2011 37
hahaha
MrSassypants 34
Get down and give you 50? How about I just get down? *starts dancing to disco music*
thefmlman2011 37
haahaha

The sad part is OP might not even be able to give you 5, since going down stairs winds him. (Unless there's a LOT of stairs....but probly not)
tashb 17
I agree with #1. I don't blame you tho OP. I'm so out of shape myself and just picked up some Ben and jerrys.
tashb 17
Just cause people are skinny doesn't mean they're in shape idiot.

#10, there is a difference between being out of shape and being over- weight. You could be out of shape and still be skinny. Some people just can't put on any wieght no matter how much they eat but are still out of shape because simple physical activity could tire them out. It all depends on what your body type/metabolism is like :).
limabeans101029 21
11 is right. I'm quite slim because of a fast metabolism, but I'm very unfit.

Very true my biggest friend was never out of breath when walking, while my smaller friend was always out of breath. It turns out she had asthma, which I have too. So sometimes the person can be small but not have high stamina, also there could be underlying issues. Plus I don't think she was trying to fish for compliments, I think she was trying to relate to op.
MisterEx 28
Why not both? *rolls away crying but runs out of breath 2 rolls in and faints*
INDYSTRUCTABLE 43
maybe it's a panic attack but either way it's no bueno
CoGhostRider 31
At least there were stairs you can blame it on.
DontClickOnMe 28
That's really sad, but since you know you're out of shape, you should start working out and eating healthier. Take baby steps if you have to. Good luck, OP.
tdawg91 17
Well at least you've realised how bad you've let yourself get, it's not too late to start doing something about it. Coming up to summer, swimming would be perfect
