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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

All the more reason to get in shape, op. Teach them anyone can achieve their goals and when they suddenly show interest in you shut them down!

This is why I refuse to go to a gym until I'm at an okay weight. Anxiety is bad enough for me but shit like that would ruin me. I'm glad you were brave enough to go and to get healthy. Good luck. So far I've lost 36 kilos on my own. I've even had chicken nuggets thrown at me while walking. I'd turn around and take photos of the girls and name and shame.

...that would have been more helpful if they were there when you were plowing down the quarter pounders with cheese.

Can I plow my foot up your ass for making such a rude comment? You don't know why that person weighs that much.

I been on fml app forever and never signed up until today. I did it for you. to tell you to hang in there. I grew up on the heavy side too. I chose the easy way out and didba lap band. I wish I had it in me to be able to go to the gym and change.

I'm starting to understand why "skinny bitches" became a thing for a while. If someone is overweight, people bully them, but if that person decides to exercise to lose weight, people also bully them? At the very least, I know to stay the hell out of the gym if I ever decide to lose weight.

You are trying to become healthier OP I had a friend that was 400 pounds and after two years of hard work she dropped about 200 pounds and guys wouldn't stay away from her so chin up OP and don't give up.
