Today, I decided to motivate myself to workout by looking at a picture of a guy with a six-pack on my computer screen while doing abs. My dad walked in after I finished and was still breathing heavily from working out. FML

Same thing different taste

Feel the burn

Today, I was at the gym on the elliptical. Feeling proud of myself for finishing a very intense workout, I looked to my left to see that the maintenance guy fixing the machine next to me had burned more calories testing the machine than I did during my entire workout. FML

Hitting the gym

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 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 finally felt motivated to do some exercise. As I got my weights out, I noticed out of the corner of my eye someone moving about outside my window. I got scared and dropped a weight on my foot. The person outside was my own reflection. FML

Today, while working out at the gym, I paused to check out a beautiful woman. The guy behind me said "Are you going to do your set or are you going to keep staring at my wife?" 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 decided to start my exercise video routine. It's an African dance workout DVD. Just as I felt confident and motivated about getting in shape, I realized that my window was wide open and my neighbors were getting a front row seat to me waving my arms in the air like an idiot. FML

Today, I found out that my friend uses pictures of me to motivate her to work out. They are accompanied by sayings such as, "You don't want to turn out like this." FML

Don't believe the hype

Today, I was hyping myself up to work out after weeks of being a lazy slob. I slapped my workout gear on, got my Spotify playlist ready, and just as I was about to start, my friend texted me asking if I wanted pizza. I’m now in my workout clothes, eating pizza on his couch. FML

Next time try and motivate yourself while looking at a female bodybuilder, still awkward but at least she doesn't have a penis

To me, this seems like the perfect opportunity to play mind games with your dad.

Obviously if you are that worried about what your dad thinks and the fact that your name is "NotGay", you aren't confident in your sexuality. Just explain the situation and let him think what he wants from there.

People make accounts just for posting their FML, and often have the name related to the FML. He isn't NotGay because he's insecure in his sexuality, but because his FML is about him not being gay.

Be glad this isn't ending with "...and then my dad told me I had two hours to pack a suitcase and GTFO. FML" like it would for a lot of people. (Including myself, when I was in my late teens in the 80s.) As it is, it's a good thing this is simply cause for embarrassment and humor.

How about you don't give a care about what anyone thinks? Nothing wrong with being gay. Nothing wrong with motivation. Nothing wrong about locking your door.
