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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 went to the new gym I recently signed up for and started exercising in the men-filled weights room, despite being intimidated by them and the strange looks they were giving me. Workout over, I left the room and saw in front of me a door marked, "Women's weights room." Oh. FML
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 was at the gym running with intensity on the treadmill. As I was working out, I noticed a few guys behind me staring at me. I figured they were checking me out because I was losing some weight and looking better. Turns out they were betting on how much longer "Fat Ass" could last. FML
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the gym for the first time. I knew I was in bad shape, but I bet her that I could lift more than her. Not only did I get my ass handed to me by a 5', 115lbs girl in front of the entire gym, I also have to attend Zumba in bright pink spandex. FML
Today, I went to the gym. I tried out a new machine where you do one-arm weightlifting. I took my time to get into a good position, then set the machine to the lowest weight possible. I couldn't even lift it an inch. A bunch of buff guys nearby saw me and burst out laughing. FML
Today, I was working out at the gym. A very attractive girl was watching me work out, so feeling like a stud, I tried to lift a really heavy weight. I failed, got trapped, and watched helplessly as she walked away laughing. FML
Today, I was in the gym when I noticed three trainers who worked there staring at me. Thinking that they were checking me out, i turned the speed on the treadmill higher. Finally one of the trainers came over, and asked me to leave until I got a sports bra that actually worked. FML
Today, I was at the gym with my friends when they invited me to do a few bench presses. Since I'd never done any before, I decided to start with no weights on the bar and work my way up from there. I wound up pinned beneath the bar, calling for my friend to come free me. FML
Today, I went to the gym. This really fat and gross guy got on the machine next to men and I figured he'd hit on me but he didn't even look at me the whole class. Now my self-esteem is in the gutter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

They have problems that hitting the gym won't fix. Hang in there, OP.

OP please don't give up with your weight loss because of assholes like that. I used to be in your boat and I still kind of am, stay strong!
blazingshot147 19
Been in the same boat, only with guys... and about 100 lbs less, but thats not the point. Anyways, just shut them up by eventually outlifting the strongest guy there.

I like the backhand idea... Make sure you put your full weight behind it. One last time before you get skinny OP.

Hmm.. Probably hitting them with those little dumbbells might help i guess.

Also, if OP keeps on going to the gym and fixes their problem, they won't have to deal with people treating them that when they do things like work out anymore.

Not everyone chooses their weight sometimes it's medical.

Like #3 said, don't give up because of those sad excuses for human beings. If nothing can be done about the girls, you don't have to put up with that crap! Make small lifestyle changes as you are ready for them (having one less portion of food here, making a healthy diet substitution there, drinking more water, going on walks, etc.), and excess fat will drop away. And although you obviously aren't pleased with the extra weight you've been carrying around, I'll bet you have some very impressive musculature because of it, and it's just waiting to be revealed :) Then, if you so chose, you could go back to that gym and ideally make those idiots feel humiliated for discouraging your efforts in the first place... though we all know that such peoples' character flaws prevent them from recognizing when they're in the wrong, most of the time. Good luck on your journey, OP, and stick with it!

@90 Trust me, I know. I am one of those people. I didn't think I would have to specify "as long as you don't have a medical condition preventing you from losing weight". Usually in these types of fmls it is said there is a reason like that for being overweight, and there wasn't in this one.
Soparot 29
It is said *IF* there is a reason like that. Also, I didn't refer to it as a problem because I think they have a problem and that's the only possible way they could be overweight. I referred to it as a problem because that's what #3 referred to it as, and I was just doing the same.

Tripartita, I think this is the first serious comment I've ever seen you post...

Those little bitches were just jealous that you could change your "flaw" and they can't change their horrible souls. You keep on it, OP!!! Much luck!!!

It's a shame that thin people make fun of fat people, and then when fat people try to exercise and improve their health, those same people laugh at their efforts. And then those SAME people come BACK and blame the person's weight on their lack of effort! It's a vicious cycle.

agree 100% with this
cameron6731 13
What a bunch of bitches, hang in there op! We all believe you can do it!
TordNorski 30
You can do it, OP! :) No amount of exercise will fix their flaw: a shit personality.

Some people just find fun in being mean like that. Congrats to you for going to the gym in order to live a healthier life. As Miranda Sings says, "HATERS BACK OFF"
amadeclton 27
I'm proud of you for your dedication to getting into shape, OP. Keep it up, and when you've got big muscles, you can punch them.
earljonez 22
Screw them. at least you're making the effort to change yourself. Don't let those dumb bitches derail you.

Kill them. Or at least hit them with a dumbbell. ;)
