Nice guys

By fatgirl4 - 20/07/2009 23:31 - United States

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

At least you're doing something about your weight issues. Kudos!

Never, ever assume someone is checking you out at the gym. It's just easier that way. At least they didn't refer you McFatty with a side order of McThunder Thighs.

To the idiots you say she deserved it because she thought they were checking her out or for getting fat in the first place, go **** yourself and die, seriously. People get fat for all kinds of reasons, not all of them self-inflicted, and she's trying to lose the weight. Also, she probably lost weight at previous sessions at the gym and was feeling self-confident. Those guys are way out of line and the gym isn't just for "beautiful" people, so shut the **** you cheeto-munching fatasses and go do a few laps in the gym yourself you hypercritical piles of bigoted lard. Please excuse my rudeness, but I've faced a similar problem as the OP. A propensity towards obesity and diabetes runs in my family so I too struggle with my weight and I don't need jackasses like the ones at that gym making me feel even worse about myself.

maybe she is fat because she eats to much? Anyways IF she would accualy think what she eats, and do workouts she wouldn't get fat in 1st place so w/e

No one ever said the gym is just for the beautiful people They said you won't get checked out at a gym unless you're extremely beautiful.

I'm so sorry. I don't think you should have assumed they were checking you out (although sometimes it happens when you're losing weight and feeling better.) But that's awful of them to bet like that. At least you're doing something about it, you know?

Most *fat* people on FMYLIFE are FUN =D And good luck with losing weight.

at least you're working on your weight issue, just keep at it.

"Looking better" ain't necessarily "looking good!" They were probably cringing at the abuse you were heaping on the poor treadmill with your fetid corpulence, and wondering if there were an organization like the SPCA or PETA that stood up to prevent cruelty to treadmills.

I made an account just to tell you that you're ******* ugly and literally have no room to talk. Thanks.

"Literally" have no room to talk? You made an account to show the world that you write poorly? I hate when pretentious assholes use the word "literally" without regard to its true meaning. I have a room. And I can talk in it. So you are lying when you say that I "literally have no room to talk." You also sound like the kind of pig that enjoys inflicting unspeakable cruelty on innocent gym equipment -- I hope you get a stationary bike seat post up your ass!

I'm pretty sure you can't 'abuse' PROFESSIONAL gym equitment because they don't have feelings, & the gym is there for personal use to stay fit or to lose some extra weight, you piece of shit.

lol50 and kaylaella, What's wrong with you idiots? I am obviously being facetious about the gym equipment needing protection from cruelty. You are both humor-impaired if you didn't understand that. And for crying out loud, look where the OP posted her story: FMyLife.com. This ain't group therapy or a place to go for a group hug when you are down. You put your story here and let everyone laugh at you. I hope you both get elliptical flywheels in your hoo-hahs!

what the **** is wrong with you? it may not be a "group therapy" session, but it doesn't mean that OP put it up just to be made fun of. FML is for talking about things that happen in your life that really suck, not a place to just laugh at other people's problems. If that was true, no one would post their stories, you idiot. if you haven't noticed just from your own life, PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO BE MADE FUN OF AND CALLED FAT. only absolute assholes like you do that. your posts show that you are a horribly ugly person inside. and probably by the way you lashed out, outside in order to make yourself feel better. this girl was trying to make a change in her life and had reasons that we don't know. we don't know OP's circumstances. There could be so many ways that she gained weight, and since we don't know her age, she could have been starting early in life. so how will being a complete asshole help her at all? you may not know her, but any decent human being without a stick up their ass would be supportive of a person doing something good in their life. it's human nature to do so. i wish that sizeist people like you could see how it feels to be fat and made fun of. it's not fun to be laughed at constantly. it starts a horrible chain of comfort-eating, then being made fun of for being fat, then back around. i would know, i used to be fat. so unless you understand what it feels like to be fat and constantly ridiculed in life, and still have the evilness in you to make fun of someone going through the same thing, shut the **** up. because its not fair to make fun of someone who is already going through hell.

In a manner totally contradictory to what I'm going to type, I'd just like to so that I don't mean to be rude. The internet isn't a nice place. Don't expect people to be kind to you here. If you don't want people to tease you, don't give them anything to tease you with. Also, since you don't know them, don't let yourself be bothered by insults towards yourself or other people. It won't change anything, and it's what is called 'Feeding the troll', a habit you really don't want to fall into if trolls are able to bother you.

The real ugly part was that she was conceited enough to think that guys were checking her out just because she lost a little bit of the large amount of weight she needs to lose. You don't anything about me. You don't know what I am saying for real and what I am saying in jest. NEWS FLASH: My real name is not plexico! So, I found the OP to be a stuck-up arrogant bitch and the guys at the gym gave her her come-uppance. And I was happy to pile on.

# 63--actually it is pretty much just to laugh at people and make fun of them. if she's fat then she deserves to be made fun of who cares if she likes it.. its funny..and thats pitiful that you ate comfort food cause you were upset over people making fun of you, get the **** over it.. plexico is pure genius and people like him make the site worthwhile.. i look forward to see what plexico writes on every fml

fyourlife33, Thank you. It is my pleasure to be able to brighten your day. Knowing that there are some people that appreciate my humor makes it all worthwhile. This is a site for absurd comedy and I love the opportunity to riff off the whacky stories. Thanks, again, and I hope I can keep earning your laughs!

Don't assume you know how much weight she needs to lose. All we know is she's trying to lose weight and she's fat by the standards of those two guys. So she's probably not skinny, but she might just be averaged sized, or if she is over-weight she might not be overweight enough to need to lose weight.

I made an account just to talk about how ******* stupid this plexico guy is. #1-I like how you throw out "pretentious assholes" as though you don't belong in that category. I've only seen what you've posted on this particular FML, but with that handful of comments alone, you are by far the most pretentious asshole I have ever come across. So if that's what you're going for, keep up the good work! #2-I realize you're trying to be humourous, but not everyone who thinks you're a douchebag lacks a sense of humour. I'm a funny person. I appreciate comedy, especially when it's a little offensive. But you take it to a place that is so malicious, it becomes really UNFUNNY. #3-What is funny, is you commenting on how fat/ugly people must be, without even knowing what they look like. Meanwhile, you have a picture of yourself on your profile...and you're pretty ******* unfortunate looking yourself. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that someone who looks like you, had the audacity to call another human being a pig. So to sum up, you appear to be the saddest and most insecure little dude on the internet. Congrats.

You are insecure if you need to express your hatred to someone by creating an account and ranting, sorry but that is worse than being an asshole.

I'm flattered that I motivated you to make an account. Sadly, you claim you have a sense of humo(u)r, but there is no evidence it exists. I'm not a pretentious asshole, I'm just a plain ol' asshole. Actually, if I am fat and ugly, it makes my calling the OP fat and ugly funnier. If I were a gorgeous hunk and belittled the original fatty, it would be very cruel. What makes my humo(u)r special is that some people will love it and others will hate it, and that has always been the way the great comedians have worked. The hacks make comedy that almost everybody likes, it's bland, predictable, safe and sure-fire. For those with discriminating taste, it is boring. I saw Bruno this weekend. I found it mostly horrible, with a few excellent parts. But you have to give Sasha Baron Cohen credit for courage, because he did comedy that people would either love or hate.

No. The things you said were still cruel, regardless of what you look like. And really, you're NOT pretentious? Okay, we'll go with ostentatious then... Your humoUr is not "special", it's cowardly. Anyone can go hand out insults and call themselves a comedian.

And you look like the back of a hockey player. I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do with that. Of course, my humo(u)r is special. My insults were completely original and actually, since they were so bizarre, they were a lot less cruel than others. An SPCA for gym equipment? C'mon, man, that's silly, not mean-spirited. I still haven't seen any evidence of your humo(u)r. I suggest you write "That sucks" in response to any FML you want, because that is what about 90% of the comments here are and that seems to max out your comedic range.

@105 Or, maybe she's just a little overweight and doesn't need to lose weight? I know some guys who'd make a bet like the OPs for someone like that

@modest_mouse Judging by the ****** up face he's making in that pic, I don't think you could accurately judge how he looks by it

plexico, you're a ******* prick in every comment you leave. Shut the **** up already!

personally, i think you deserved dat. i can lose ten pounds in one week. i have to put my mind to it for a week but i can do it. i was sorta fat and lost 30 lbs in 2 weeks. not that hard. people just make excuses. ******* fatasses! i think YDI

All you were losing was muscle and water. Good job idiot, you probably knocked a couple years off your lifespan with your crash diet and permanently destroyed muscle tissue with over-exercise. Either that or you developed anorexia nervosa or obsessive bulimia which both have their own serious health risks. Go read a book on nutrition and don't assume that everyone was blessed with a high metabolic rate.

Greenalbatross is exactly right. You should probably consult a Dietician before you do any more harm to your body. Ten pounds in a week is not healthy.

I do not believe. It is really hard to loose any muscle if you are a man and not old.

Until you get into med school and know a little bit about how and what your body metabolizes, you probably shouldn't speak. Your beliefs on this matter have absolutely no bearing on whether or not it is fact or truth. So, keep being ignorant and let me and other people with knowledge laugh at you. First, your body gets rid of any muscle mass that is not needed. This means if the most you lift every day plate and an 8 lb gallon of liquid, your body will only keep enough muscle mass to do so. Even at a young age. Working specific muscle groups everyday will cause your body to keep those muscle groups, because they are used (and possibly build them). Next, when malnourished, your body metabolizes things in descending order of importance, so to speak. So, fat is usually first. Notice I said usually. And even if you are working out, you will not build muscle because your body isn't getting what it needs to do so, nor to give you energy. So it starts breaking down muscle. Not because you are old or because you are a man or a woman. This is laymen's terms. Because I am positive that your brain would explode with confusion if I tried to explain properly. HAHA. "I don't believe." Your ignorance astounds me.

#146 is right for sure. I had a foot surgery and couldn't use my left leg for anything for 6 weeks. by the end of the third week, I'd lost all the tone I had in my thighs and calves (which is saying something because I had been a contemporary dancer for 12 years at that point.). by the end of the 6th week when I could finally start walking again, my left leg was my bones with skin and flabby muscle hanging from them, my calf much worse than my thigh. It was so bad that you could see the difference while wearing boot cut jeans, and I don't wear my pants skintight. it took me over 3 months to get my muscle and tone back into my leg. it goes quickly and takes forever to get back. as for losing 10 pounds a week, you're out of your ******* mind if you think that's a good idea. 10 pounds every 3 to 4 weeks is more like it and that would be with fairly intensive excersize and a very healthy diet with all lean red meat (if any at all), white meat from turkey and chicken, and fish with lots of veggies and salads.

Naw what assholes, i think you should forget the gym and do stuff at home.

Just ignore people who try to bring you down. You are doing a great job; don't listen to people who take pleasure in hurting others.

Op may not even be what most people call fat, some people ideally think that thin is beautiful and anything more then a supermodel sized person is fat... seriously everyone has different ideas of thin or fat, beautiful or ugly etc, so before everyone goes on about how much the OP deserves it, consider that they may not even be 'large'

She's fat enough to be called fat, therefore she is fat.

@46, Sadly, in today's society, being anything over 130 lbs. is considered "fat". Also, there is almost no such thing as being too skinny. If you're 140 lbs. you aren't even fat, that's a pretty healthy weight. If you're 95 lbs., for some reason that's sexy.

How very very true. A lot of people say it's the models in magazines that make people who's wieght is absolutly normal in every way suddenly think they are overweight. I have a theory though that its the manicens (or however you spell it) and characters in japanese anime which is becoming increasingly more popular in todays society and they way the character in anime are drawn makes them extremly skinny. In that way I'm sure it's more than just magazines and such but little things in society that are causing these problems.

Cody your mother ******* 15 years old. Let me guess do you get picked on at school ? What a way to act all big and tough over the internet and especially on fml. You have a lot of growing up to do u immature prick. Do you realize how hurtful words can be? Do you guys all think that the op wants to come on here and see all these negative comments about how fat she is? At least shes at the gym doing something about it and not sitting on her ass. As someone said i got the impression that she was curvy not fat (yes there is a difference between curvy and fat guys) . Get off your high horses please. Go make a difference in someone elses lives or yours and stop being a waste of a human being. Some people are so ******* ridiculously mean its retarded. DON"T CORRECT ANY OF MY SPELLING I DON'T GIVE A **** GRAMMAR NAZI'S!
