Today, while going for my daily run, a woman stopped me and said, "I think it's so great that people of your size are comfortable enough to run and show their bodies in public." FML

Gotta start somewhere

Today, I went outside to start jogging for improving my ever declining fitness. A kind stranger yelled, “You’re doing great!” as I was wheezing after my first block. I was sitting on a bench. 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

I like big butts and I cannot lie

Today, I was yet again cat-called while out jogging, with many men calling me "sexy lady" and even commenting on my "birthing hips", all because I chose to wear compression pants. I'm not even a woman, I'm just a guy with a really big butt. FML

Today, as I was taking an evening jog around my neighbourhood, I passed an elderly woman. I grinned at her as sign of friendliness to a common pedestrian. She grinned back. Whilst staring at my crotch. FML

Today, I decided to get back into shape and go for a run. With a 1/4 mile left to run, I saw a hot chick a block ahead of me running. Trying to show off I ran hard and passed her stopping just outside my complex. I started to throw up right as she came past me because I had run so hard to pass her. FML

Today, I achieved a personal goal by completing a half-marathon for charity, despite being overweight and unfit before training. When I finished I cried, not because I was proud of myself, but because I ran the last 2 miles while being followed by kids on bicycles calling me a "fat cunt". FML

Today, I went running. I live in a small town and people know me fairly well. It was dark when I went to avoid the heat. I was almost finished with my run when the cop comes up and asks me what I'm running from. Clearly being fat and out of shape is not a good enough alibi. FML

Today, I went for a run and took my shirt off part way through. The next person I saw was a nine year old girl playing outside her house. She looked at me and said, "Ewwwwww! Gross!" FML

Today, I went for a run. I noticed a really hot guy mowing his lawn. I ran a couple of laps past him. After a while, when I slowed down, I smiled at him, and he said, "You look really hot." I thanked him, and he quickly replied, "No, I mean you're sweating a lot." FML

Today, while running, I sped up to show off for a cute female runner I'd seen before up ahead. I passed her and not more than a minute later she sprints past me. I couldn't catch up. She not only out ran me, but waited to tell me it was a 'nice try'. FML

You should have said, "The wives of plumpa humpas don't need to score fresh meat for their husbands. I've already found yours." As you run away, grab your mountainous, dimpled ass cheeks and yell, "He likes this better that your sorry, little, bony ass!"

Kudos to you for finally working out and improving your lifestyle, YDI for eating to excess your whole life.

You have no idea what the OP's lifestyle is like or if she wants to change it. Some people just like to run because they enjoy it. Don't make sweeping generalisations.

Hmn.. really depends on the way the lady said it. Either way, keep on exercising!

The only thing funnier than seeing a fat person run is seeing a fat person on a bike. I feel so sorry for the bike seat which is never visible as it is swallowed whole and goes places man dare not tread.

That's awful... As long as you were dressed appropriately (i.e. a shirt, not just a sports bra, appropriate shorts) then I don't know why she thought that was in any way a nice thing to say, no matter what size you truly are. Keep up the running - good for you!

Keep up the good work, OP! Don't listen to the slanderous bitches with cloaked "compliments".

"Ideal" weight isn't determined by random people on the street. The comment was totally inappropriate - even if she is actually fat, it's extremely rude for a stranger to comment on it.

I congratulate you on your efforts to lose weight. Keep it up, and don't listen to that woman.

Don't you know a compliment when you hear one? Take what you can get. xD Seriously though, keep up the good work. Oh, and be wary of "lose weight quick" schemes.
