BREAKING NEWS: Fat Kids, Shoes, Fat Kids Can't Enlist

Dead Legend

i don't think i ever bullied anybody

i was bullied when i was younger and in elementary school

in high school i think the only real mean thing i did was mercilessly berate this one dumbass any time he fucked something up, which was often

saw him last year and apologized about being a dick, didn't think he thought much of it, but i was sincere about it.

The last time I was at the gym they had the tvs on the food channel

What the hell kind of cocktease was that

There is a Wendy's next door to my gym. I am pretty sure they deliberately pipe their delicious, square-burgered smells out directly towards the gym's front door.
I always think about getting a Frosty or something as a reward for myself, but then I see the people waddling out of the place, and I just keep going.

I was never a fat kid but I was bullied a lot in elementary school. I don't have any excuse except for being a damned nerd.

I was bullied by maybe 1 or 2 guys in junior high and I think that was about it. Both of them stopped when I beat one of them up after school once.

Dead Legend

ahh yes, there was one guy who always liked to give me shit in 8th grade

i kicked his ass in the football locker room one time and he's always been real nice after that

what I hate is how incredibly boring exercise tends to be

need constant mental stimulation

When I run I like listening to some fast music. That usually keeps my brain happy. But really I do it so I don't have to think about shit. It's a nice escape from stress and anxiety.

Yeah, I like to pull out some good driving Judas Priest, or other Heavy Metal when I'm working out. Plus, I don't give a shit, so I can often be found playing air guitar in between reps at the gym.

Painkiller is Priest's best workout album. I will not hear any arguments as to the otherwise.

I might get on the audio book train, $700 of tax rebate just came swinging in

the boredom is less pronounced when I'm running outside, because I have more to look at- you know, like how a dog sticks its head outside the car window

part of why I hate weight rooms and what not is because I hate it when people can see me exercise

anxiety is a problem for me

Tasteticle

I was the geekiest kid

I used to wear those anime t-shirts and I was also IN the anime club 8-)

Veretas

Woo! Ran a mile, walked a mile, did a bunch of push-ups and a few sit-ups. Not too shabby.

Skull Man

in sixth grade this one kid kept trying to pick on me and coming of atrociously worse

he poured chocolate milk on my green beans so I flipped my tray onto him and he just sits there, sobbing

another time he snatched a piece of paper out of my hand (it was just some trash I'd just picked up) and was like I'M GONNA TRASH YOUR SHIT but when he got to the trash can this big black kid just dumps him in there

another time he tried to steal my necklace and ended up breaking it and I just tackled him and I'm slamming his head down into the dirt again and again and he's just bawling and I am too, but it doesn't matter because I'm winning and then he no joke shits his pants

Tasteticle

I got my ass kicked by about 3 rando's outside of a grade 8 dance

I didn't even know who they were, but they were on a mission and I was the closest to them

I didn't know when yearbook photo day was, and I just happened to wear my Star Trek shirt that day

I had this too, but it was mitigated by the fact that the guys who were supposedly doing the judging would stand around and talk and look at themselves in the mirror while I would just go in and do my stuff.

Skull Man

in ninth grade I wore shorts that only went about halfway down my thighs for the first, oh, semester

My friend does this!

whenever we go to the gym together it takes me one hour to do what he does in two

I also really need to look into getting some proper running shoes. Or maybe just some insoles for my tennis shoes.

this was actually something that helped me a lot. I resigned to spend some real money on a pair of running shoes at my fiancee's request. I went to a real running store, they had me run on a treadmill barefoot while they video taped. They played it back in slow motion, detailing all the spots in my stride that need support, went into the back and brought out a few pairs. They were around $100, which is a little much for a shoe I'm not wearing all the time, but since I only wear them running or at the gym, they'll last for many years and my feet/legs/back thank me.

Let me guess, Seattle Running Company on cap hill? Those guys rock.

I wore the button ups

with sweatpants

This one time I let Skull Man borrow my Pete & Pete DVDs and never got them back.

That was pretty cool.

Meissnerd

I saw one bro come in with a gold chain, wife beater, and a perfectly angled hat.

i also don't get why people bring in their cell phones.

Grey Ghost

Those zip-off cargo pants that became shorts

Aw yeah

Veretas

My senior high school yearbook picture is pretty sweet. Fake tux makes me look all James Bond suave and shit.

I turn into a giant prissy bitch when I workout


I can't stand people being able to see me. I'm constantly checking to make sure I don't look stupid, I don't smell bad, I don't bump into anyone, I don't leave anything in anyone's way, I don't jiggle where I shouldn't jiggle.

To work around this, I've just taken to joining only 24 hour gyms, and I only go when no one else is there.

That sounds boss as hell. I've had to look into shoes and stuff because I am a pretty big guy and my knees are killing me. I've started making an effort to walk on my heels instead of the front of my foot, and it's helped quite a bit.

potatoe

I couldn't tell you what I wore in my yearbook pictures since I never bothered buying that shit.

this, when I was in high school.

I was placed, for some fucking unknown reason, into Advanced Weightlifting my junior year. Scrawny goddamn me, socially awkward, etc stuck in there with the football team. Sat in there pretty much all the time listening to my Discman and reading comics. Even got some of the footballers to read'em.

Wish I'd actually taken advantage of all of that equipment and not been so shy, but whoops.

Tasteticle

I managed to get the guy to take a picture of the back of my head for my senior year yearbook photo

Also the back of the yearbook was some random collage and then a GIANT image of me over top of it lying on the ground with my knee on the side of my leg looking like I am trying to poop

Memories forever

Company I worked for a couple summers ago had a 24-hour on-site gym.

So much easier to work out at 2 in the morning all alone.

I've taken to messing around with Wii Fit to avoid going out

sad, I know

one of my issues is that I want to jump over shit and climb stuff when I'm out jogging

and people hella judge when it happens
