Today, my mom once again commented on how I need to work out. It has come to the point that I now walk around in exercise clothes and have a bottle of water/fake sweat to put on, just so she thinks I work out. This is how lazy I am. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was told how cruel and selfish I am for rubbing my weight loss in my mom’s face. I’ve literally begged my mom to walk, jog, workout with me for months. She went exactly once. She complained the whole time, then called me a bitch for finishing my run while she sat in the car. FML
Today, my mother admitted to me that she sends me up and down the stairs to get things for her because she thinks I could use the exercise. FML
Today, I had trouble carrying a box upstairs because my arms were sore from working out. My mom asked me, "Why are you working out so much then?" I didn't have the heart to tell her it was because of her 100-pound weight gain and that I didn't want to end up looking like her. FML
Today, I walked downstairs in a new outfit, after dieting for 3 months, and losing just over 20 pounds. My mom took one look at me and said "You'd better keep going." FML
Today, while visiting my parents, I observed that I've been able to visit more often because I've avoided getting sick the whole year. My mother responded by reminding me that I need to get my act together if I'm going to lose weight and get healthier. Not the reaction I hoped for, Mom. FML
Today, my mother offered to give my overweight girlfriend the workout DVDs that she no longer needs. FML
Today, my mum was saying she needs to gain weight because she was underweight according to her doctor. She then said she's going to eat like me in order to gain more weight. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mother called me lazy. Her days consist of sitting on her couch watching Fox News. I'm a college athlete who also has a part-time job, yet I'm the lazy one. FML
Today, I told my dad I was gonna to start working out again. He looked at me with honest confusion on his face and said, "You worked out before?" My mother started laughing. She was all the way upstairs. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she thought I looked skinny in my shorts. She jiggled my leg fat, looked up at me and walked away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow, seriously? YDI. You might as well just work out!

Seriously OP you put so much effort into faking it might as well try working out.

This isn't a wasted effort! Getting dress, spraying yourself down, and walking around whilst carrying around that heavy water bottle burns calories. So in your effort NOT to work out, you're working out! "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

Pretty pathetic but hey, live how you want too.

I am not one to work out. Instead I try to find hobbies that require exercise like paintball and kayaking. My doc put a big no way in hell on paintball until we know what's wrong with me. I'd kill to be able to do something like that. All I can say op is get your ass moving and find something like that you enjoy. Stop taking it for granted. And if you happen to be overweight I'd like to mention I played with some very large people on my tournament team. They lost a lot of weight while we played.

Seriously? You don't see at all where OP might just be lazy, and deserve feeling bad about putting in such an effort to deceive someone who's just trying to push her to be healthy?

I know this is harsh.... But just go work out! Oh wait, that wasn't so harsh... Anyway, I'm 14 years old, hate my body, I started working out and i still hate my body, but i feel at least ten times better about myself! Trust me, it's not that bad! I know those treadmills look scary, but once you get on them, they're not that bad at all!

When you're 14 you don't have your permanent body yet! Dont worry :)

Yes but you should start to take care of your body when you're young. Being young doesn't give you an excuse to be unhealthy.

I was bullied at 15 and spent years hating how I looked. At 34 I'm finally making the changes I need to wear smaller clothes and be healthy. It's good that you're making changes now. Lots of luck with them and don't hate yourself. I wish I'd make the changes in time for college or even for starting work so at least you have a headstart.

Instead of working out, I hung up my car keys and walked anywhere that was within 2 miles. It got my family off my back, gave me some "me" time, and I didn't feel guilty enough to post about it on this site. Not only is it exercise, I didn't have to fill up my gas tank as much, and was able to buy stuff I actually WANTED to buy. At least make sure to DRINK your water, and try to stay off soda. I lost 30 pounds by giving up soda. Drinking water is a start!

It's amazing how much sugar a single can of soda has. You might as well ingest a pound of pure sugar.

Well put! I hate "exercise". OTOH "walking to the barbershop for a haircut" is an errand so that's okay with me, even if it's a mile each way.

Next time she says that just say " hey i could lose some pounds but you cant lose some years"

Yes, perfect plan. Insult your mother by reminding her that she's older than you. Brilliant.

39: Worst comeback in the history of things that come back (including boomerangs and songs that repeat "bring it back").

Working out can be fun. I dh mountain bike. It's fun, keeps you in shape.. Can only say good things about it. It's expensive, though. Quality parts, maintenance, and the inevitable hospital bills add up
