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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

Stab them in their mouth. Tell the staff it was a polite way to encourage them to piss off.

Really though, assholes like that can be really good motivation. Whenever I workout I think of all those little ***** that used to call me anorexic or a weirdo for being 130lbs at 6'3" and find my motivation in thinking how soon I will be able to easily crush the life out of them with my new muscles.

This is true for some people, but for others it's unfortunately discouraging.

Hahaha. Yeah alright, guess some people just can't handle the emotional toll and need to drown their sorrows in a gallon of ice cream! And ↓ karma doesn't exist you imbecile.

Or they try to get the employees of the ******* establishment to handle it, just like OP did. If people hurt you enough to make you want to change yourself physically while fantasizing about hurting them for doing so then maybe you can try being a bit more understanding of someone else's situation? Also, calling someone an imbecile for believing in karma just makes you look like a tool.

Uhh people can be horrible. I'm overweight myself, and this is exactly why I refuse to go to a gym. Judgemental bitches need to gain 100lbs. Very awesome what you're doing! Don't let them stop you. Karma will take care of them ;)

Sorry, I didn't mean to hit you deserved it. I think it's great that you're making a change. Don't let anyone ever make you feel inferior. Keep going. Stay strong

I know how difficult it is to go to the gym, Even without people making fun of you. Good for you for trying to speak up and I hope you aren't discouraged by their ignorance. You got this, OP!

Lmao I'd use my weight to my advantage and squish them or something. Screw them for making fun of you trying to better yourself

This FML desperately needs a follow up.

Don't be discouraged. It's about you. Not them

Encourage the staff by cancelling your membership (if you have one) and get one at their rival. Bonus points if it's next door or across the street.

Anyone that says that you deserve it is a ******* asshole! Those stupid bitches need their asses beat. Don't even worry about them. Karma is a bitch and they'll get theirs!!!!!!!
