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.

Don't listen to those smug bitches. You are doing an amazing thing for your body and you should be proud of that. Don't let anyone make you feel down.

Getting shit from idiots at the gym is one thing but the staff condoning it? There is no way they should be able to keep their jobs after that

As a man who works in a gym, I would never have allowed that to happen. I'd find a new gym, that's discouraging as ****.

Lifestyle changes will work with weight... It doesn't fix their ignorance or rudeness. Keep up the good work, OP! We'll be rooting for you.

Ignore them and keep motivated! :)

In my opinion OP shouldn't do anything. Just keep working your ass of, and if they do it again tell them to leave you alone. Strength comes from within. Also take this as "encouragement", even if it wasn't. Show them you can do this.

Screw them. Keep it up and I hope you will see quick results soon! :)

Ignore them enough to let them be that inspiration to lift the bar once more, or run that extra minute. Focus on yourself and get where you need to be. Having haters is healthy. It means you're doing it right. They obviously are insecure about themselves so they try to make you feel worse. Next time, just ask them if they will join you. Tell them you noticed their asses starting to sag.

Maybe you shouldn't have gotten 360lbs. That wouldn't have happened if you weren't so lazy

Who cares how it happened. It happened. And now he's trying to fix the situation. Congratulations for waking up to this health issue. I'd also be looking for a new gym. Just saying...
