Today, I was jogging when a woman ran out of her house and handed me an invitation for a party. What was the invitation for? A weight loss treatment party. Guess the jogging isn't working. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I proudly showed off my new body, after losing 80 pounds. My life-long best friend immediately uninvited me to her upcoming wedding, and won't explain why. FML
Today, I was at a party and saw this girl who used to be overweight. She'd lost a significant amount of weight and looked so good, I went to chat her up. She immediately told me to get lost. According to her, if I "didn’t appreciate her at her worst, I don’t deserve her at her best." FML
Today, I finally went running to help me start losing weight. I got 50 metres before someone in a passing car shouted out "Run fatty, run". I can't work up the courage to go for a run again. FML
Today, a girl I met recently asked if I wanted to go jogging with her, and I excitedly agreed. A while into our run, I ran out of breath and doubled over panting, all while she kept jogging and slowly disappeared down the street. What a way to spend time together. FML
Today, I went running for the first time in a few months. I had what I thought was an asthma attack. When I got home, I realized that it was not asthma, but instead I have gained so much weight that my running bra restricted my breathing. FML
Today, I went running. My girlfriend was so surprised at the fact that I'm exercising that she accused me of making it up so I could cheat on her. I'm just trying to get in shape. FML
Today, after several months of eating right, exercising, and weight loss, my mother has yet again arrived at my house, unannounced and with a very sugary cake. She's been doing this most weeks since I lost 50 pounds. FML
Today, for my birthday, my friend bought me a book on how to lose weight. FML
Today, I told my gym trainer I’d do anything to get in shape. He challenged me to run a mile without stopping. I agreed, then got winded halfway through and dramatically collapsed on the track. A 70 year-oldish woman jogged past me and said, “You’ll live.” FML
Today, I got an invite to my high school reunion. With visions of wowing my former classmates, I set about starting a diet and exercise regimen. The universe had other plans. On my first run out in the fields, I managed to trip over an invisible pebble, fall into a puddle, and fuck my ankle up. The only thing I'm reuniting with now is my couch and a bag of ice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ugh... I know people think they're trying to help when they do stuff like this, but really, all it does is hurt the person's feelings and make you look like a total ass.

She probably just gave u the invitation coz she saw u working out. People work out to lose weight and since u were running that shows you're interested in keeping fit and healthy. She prob just assumed the invitation would benefit you since you are a person that works out which automatically shows you're working to maintain your body.

Well at least she had good intentions when she gave it to you. Don't stop doing what your doing, keep jogging. !

Sometimes doing sports with friends is more helpfull..give it a try.. -- for those who is gonna say the OP doesn't know the lady.. I know, still i think the OP should give a try

Aww OP, that sucks. But keep at it and you'll see results :)

We failed to look at one thing. How is OPs diet? If they jog then put down an entire twinky factory, they're running in circles.

Eat right, keep your excercise regime and stick to it and over the next few months you will see the weight drop, don't listen to the people who say you can't.

But the lady never told the jogger he can't..?

Jog early in the morning without the dependence of food to give you energy, trust me, it will help.

Not with that attitude anyway.

Why did this get thumbs down? Clearly, 6 meant op should stay positive and keep jogging.
TipOfTheHat 10
I would have said " keep the invite for someone who needs it or someone who cares"
Meme1988 18
Not really, she thought that she is helping the OP.. So why to be mean to her???

Well the fact that she saw you jogging still emphasizes the fact that you want to lose weight right? I'm sure she could come to the conclusion that you're jogging to lose weight regardless of whether your jogging is helping or not.
StoryOfTheYear 15
Lol I remember talking about this a long time ago. Lifting weights along with cardio helps you lose weight far more than just one of the two.

Hahah! Yep! At least we can say you occasionally learn something new on FML.
StoryOfTheYear 15
Oh believe me, if you want to learn something on FML go look at the FML two down from this one about the fractured finger and look at the thread under comment 17. Milk will never be the same to me...

Good point!! eating right, gaining more muscles, and exercising increases your metabolism and helps you lose weight. Also drinking lots of water helps:) don't let that random woman interfere with your weight loss goals, OP:)

Omg I commented the same even before I read yours. Lol weird! But great thinking!

Well if she's 'overweight' or needing to lose weight herself, maybe she's sincere about it and thought you guys could do it together.

It's your logic that's not working. Jogging may have helped you lose 20 lbs, butt you still have 50 more to lose. The jogging is working, butt you still have a way to go. Beware of that trap of rewarding your exercise efforts with food. People sometimes overestimate how many calories they burn during exercise and underestimate how many calories are in their treats, so the end up making things worse. Your weight loss is about three-fourths determined by your eating habits.

Haha. You said butt.

When talking about fatties, that is the preferred form of the conjunction. ;)
