Today, I mentioned to my boyfriend that I want to start working out and get rid of my holiday weight. His response? "Okay, just don't join a gym. People will have to see you there." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I felt like going to the gym. I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to come with me. She screamed at me for supposedly implying that she's fat. No, I just wanted to go to the gym with someone. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend what he wanted for Christmas. He then told me that he would only tell me if I promised not to get mad, so I agreed. He told me that he wants me to start working out because I'm getting fat. FML
Today, I was telling my boyfriend about how self conscious I am and how I obsess about my weight. He said, "Don't be ridiculous, you don't need to lose THAT much weight." FML
Today, my boyfriend sent me a text that said, "I can't be seen with you anymore. You're too fat." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I didn't know what I was going to do over the Christmas holidays since he was going to be out of the country. He suggested that I work out and do some sit-ups. FML
Today, I was at the gym, when a pretty overweight guy started staring and eventually taunting me. Let me tell you, lines such as "Lay off the cake, fatty!" and "I can see your gut hanging out your ass, for fuck's sake!" don't exactly boost one's self-confidence. FML
Today, I realized I agreed to go to the gym with my fiancé after being on my feet at work all day because he wants to get fit, but he will not help me remodel the house I’m working on so we can have a bigger place to live, because he doesn’t feel like it. I don’t want or need to go to the gym. FML
Today, I was at the gym. I'm 360 lbs and have finally decided it's time to change that. Some girl and her two bitch friends thought it'd be fun to follow me and belittle me at everything I did. When I mentioned it to the staff, they said that they were just "encouraging" me. FML
Today, my wife tried to forbid me from going to the gym anymore because in public she looks fat stood next to me and it’s embarrassing. She picked me up from the gym yesterday and saw all the “thin gym sluts” I prefer to spend my time with instead of her. God, I’m sick of her lazy jealous BS. FML
Today, I went to the gym that I just became a member of, making an extra effort to look good because I've heard there are hot guys there. The lady at the front desk said they need to take my picture, then took a second look and said, "Don't worry hun, we'll take it when you're more prepared." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your bf sounds like a jerk. If he can't like you for what you look like, you need to find someone who does. Dump his ass to the curb.

Ouch, how inconsiderate.

I'm sure he just doesn't want big horny muscular men trying to flirt with you.

I second this, unless her guy is known for making asshole remarks like this I feel it could go either way

How much weight could you have packed on? Did your holiday season start on April Fools' Day?

Hey. It's a holiday, isn't it?

You'd be surprised when you exercise all spring and summer then all of a sudden it's too cold; so you sit at home and end up eating more and then Thanksgiving and Christmas don't help. Hell I play basketball all summer and gained 20 pounds since November.

Maybe you should get rid of your inconsiderate boyfriend. I'm sure you are beautiful-you go to that gym and pick up a better guy while you're at it:)

#20, not really gonna happen at a gym. Gyms are for superficial assholes who only care about exterior appearances. I belong to two of them :D

22, maybe she should go to Planet Fitness then where it's 'not a gym.' xD But yes, I realize what you are saying is true whether people like it or not

I love planet fitness. it actually feels like a judgment free zone.

She dumps her inconsiderate boyfriend, that's, what, 180 pounds right there. Without any further context, it sounds as if OP's boyfriend is ashamed of her, maybe because she has gained weight or for some other reason. The proper response is, I love you just the way you are, but if you would feel better losing some weight, I will support you.

wow sounds like you need a Bowflex.
perdix 31
Or a muzzle.
RedPillSucks 33
Nah. That's for girls who look like dogs. Clearly, she needs an apple in her mouth.

#44, holy shit! That's meaner than what I said! I must be mellowing in my old age.

#44, i bow to you. That comment made me laugh so hard i fell off the bed.

To me, that came off as a joke and not a serious opinion. It wasn't a good joke, but still. Maybe take a step back and calm down a little before you turn it into a huge thing.

You should talk with him about it, it might not have come out the way it was supposed to.

Sensitive git ain't he? :(

He might not mean it the way you think it does. People get really judgmental at gyms regardless of bodytype and worries you might get too selfconscious. Of course if he does mean what you think he means, dump him asp.

I hate gyms because people will see me there. Is it be so wrong for me to give others advice based on my own opinions? Apparently, according to the comments here. This makes me a jerk?
radwanov 14
r u the boyfriend?
SWC_Penguin 17
Nope. My wife goes to the gym and that's fine with me. But I have told her that I never could and don't really get it.

30, "Don't go to the gym, people will see you" isn't advice, it's a statement with rude implications.

whats the point of a gym right? just a place for exercising and working out, no reason for a person who wants to lose weight to go there...
