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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
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
Harsh
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
Compromises
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
Paranoid
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

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.

maybe he was just giving you a heads up. like if he feels insecure being stared at working out and he just wanted to tell you.

He might not have meant it like it sounded. I don't like weirdos watching me in the gym.

I was nervous when I started going to the gym last year, but I noticed that, the more I went, the less self-conscious I was. Not to mention that the only people that go to my gym are retired married couples in their 60s who exercise at the gym during their loads of free time. If her boyfriend isn't going to be supportive of her new positive habits, then he certainly doesn't deserve having a girlfriend with a newly-sculpted body that she'll have once she starts going regularly. If he said that out of jealousy, then that's his problem; she joined a gym, not a dating service. And for those who think he said it out of joking, imagine if the girlfriend said that to her overweight boyfriend. People would be tossing the B-word around more times than a medicine ball.

OP here! I wasn't signed into my account at the time I submitted this, so that's why my username doesn't show up or anything. However, I've read the comments and some of you are so sweet. Thanks for your concern and support! My boyfriend is a true sweetheart and meant nothing of the comment like some of you think. I suffer from very harsh anxiety and my boyfriend is aware of that. Also, he's not too excited by the idea of me being surrounded at a gym by, as one of you put it, "big horny muscular men trying to flirt with me." Of course, I still took the comment the wrong way, due to the fact that I am an average insecure girl. So, I later asked my boyfriend what he meant by the comment, which he then assured me of his motif behind saying it. We are still happily together, and we are now working out together within the privacy of our own home :)

by 'holiday weight', do you mean 'every single day of the year weight'? i despise fat people... you have brought this on yourself with your poor diet and lack of exercise. go on now, it time to eat. cry into your food.
