TIFU by watching my 600lb life in front of my 6 year old.

My son goes to bed around 7PM. Afterwards I turn on the TV. Grab my snacks and watch my 600lb life. I'm currently bingeing it. My son came out from bed and saw it on tv and asked about it. I paused it and explained how it is a show about people who are sick and trying to get healthier. Fast forward to today. I'm taking my son to the doctor. He goes to a "family medicine" and not a pediatrics office. So all ages are there. A lady walks in and is checking in. She is very overweight. My son goes "Is she here from my 600lb life?" Once. I tried to cover his mouth with my hand. So then he goes louder "IS SHE THE GIRL FROM MY 600LB LIFE?" The lady didnt acknowledge what he said and ignored it. I know she heard it and I feel absolutley terrible. I honestly didnt know what to say in the moment. So I just said "no. That's not very nice." After the appointment I had a good talk with him about not making comments about how people look. I also told him how words can hurt people's feelings. And that if someone is on TV there will be cameras around lol. I feel absolutley awful for the lady. I wanted to apologize on behalf of my son. I felt that might make it worse for her. I really hope it didnt ruin her day.

TLDR: son saw me watch my 600lb life. Asked me in front of obese lady if she was on the show. She heard

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
