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.

Mad respect for realizing you need a change and doing something about it. Good luck and I hope you get to your goal

Ignore them. At least you're trying to fix your problems and improve yourself! That's all that matters. You're starting to make the right life decisions now. Keep it up.

I'm in the same boat with the overweight yet still athletic type thing. I usually just ignore them but I'd just be like "wow you're so cool. Making fun of someone for trying to change themselves for the better. You're such a cool person for that. You're awesome." And say shit like that till they leave.

I'd question the manager and bitch not only about the girls by the employees themselves.

That's completely rude, I would either ignore them because trying to change for yourself is great so screw them, but if it makes me uncomfortable and the staff won't help speak to a manager or change gyms they don't deserve your service if they aren't considerate of all their customers.

Don't let them come between you and your goal OP!

It's so easy to become discouraged when you're just starting. Don't give up! It's so worth it when you look at yourself in 6 months and think "Damn, I accomplished something." Keep working OP!

Ugh, if you can you might want to try to find a different gym. Not all of them have those kinds of shitty people there, and you should keep working to get the body you want.
