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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I'm so out of shape that I got winded from getting out of bed. FML
Today, I decided to start exercising. I almost passed out five minutes into the warm up, and couldn't even stand in the shower afterwards. I'm only 21. FML
Today, my parents "suggested" I help them move house. I didn't realize that meant I would be carrying every single bit of furniture out of their house. The muscles in my arms are so tight now that I can't straighten them. I can't wait to help them unpack tomorrow. 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, while at a trampoline park, my time of the month and my out-of-shape body worked together to make me almost pass out. FML
Today, I'm so out of shape that my arm ached after lifting chips out of a Lays bag. FML
Today, I was taking a dump and I pushed so hard that I got light headed and passed out on the floor. FML
Today, while at work, I started to feel sick to my stomach, hot, and dizzy. My co-worker told me to go home. On the way through the locker room to get my stuff, I experienced a dizzy spell so severe, I blacked out and pooped myself. No one in the building is going to let me forget this. FML
Today, after the longest time, I went to the gym. I ran and ran and ran on the treadmill for an eternity, beating myself up for getting so overweight. Then I tripped and fell off, sweating and sobbing for being so useless. When I looked up, I saw I'd been on the machine for barely 2 minutes. FML
Today, I started a new workout routine to get fit. After watching a bunch of online videos, I thought I could jump right in. I overdid it on squats and now can’t sit down without grunting like a wounded animal. I’m now having to climb stairs on all fours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Try exercise! I recommend running/jogging about a half mile a day at first, rest when you need to. Then bump it up slightly every week until you can go at least 2 miles at a brisk jog without stopping. Running in the morning is best, although around sundown also works, at least for me it does. Replace most sodas with fruit juice without added sugar. Then replace most sweets with fruits. Eat sandwiches instead of burgers, yogurt instead of ice cream. Don't replace ALL junk food though. Don't deny yourself the sweet taste of fats on occasion! That's just for cardio and overall body efficiency. If you want to gain muscle, ask someone else. This 135 pound, 5' 10" commenter cannot help you with that.

Giving up all fats is very unhealthy. In fact, you need lots of good fats, unsaturated, and especially the omega 3 fatty acids they contain. It's saturated fat that you have to watch. Trans fat of course should be avoided.

To gain muscle work out and use a lot of weight but less reps!

i know, i'm normally the guy with advice, but...yeah. it may not even apply here. it's likely that op is a bit out of shape, but he could just as easily be dehydrated. after all, most people don't drink enough water. so, guys, please don't get all bent outta shape! :D |the kid|

good point about water.

Most likely both. Most people don't just declare themselves "grossly out of shape" unless they actually are. But the "almost blacked out" part screams dehydration.

Well, hell, OP, if you want to change it, you will! I empathize, though, been there, done that, finally got off my big butt a year and a half ago and got back in shape-all kinds of calorie counting stuff free on the internet!
