Today, I got fired from my job at a weight-loss center because I was too skinny, and apparently it's too depressing for the customers to handle. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got fired from my job because I "look too grumpy." FML
Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML
Today, I got fired from my low-paying, depression-inducing job. At least now I have a "real reason" to be depressed. FML
Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. FML
Today, a coworker told me I was "fat shaming" them by discussing weight loss with other coworkers. FML
Today, at my new job at a funeral home, my boss threatened to fire me if I didn't "lighten the hell up" while dealing with our grieving clients. FML
Today, my personal trainer fired me. Why? Because I wanted to focus on strength training, not weight loss, and refused to track my carb intake or fasting hours or "hold off on carbs til the optimal time of day." Nice to know I'm not allowed to be satisfied with my own weight. FML
Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
Today, I was fired from my job for being constipated. FML
Today, I was upset over a recent break up. It showed while I was at work, and I made a customer sad just by looking blue. She complained to my manager. I got written up for being so depressed that I got a customer depressed too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wouldn't you be something to work towards? Like a source of encouragement? And if someone "overweight" works there, the customers wouldn't see the point of it..

Yeah, those places are weird. I was once given that same reason for a rejection when I applied to be one of the support people. Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't want to take weightloss advice from an overweight person. Why would I trust them to manage my weight when they can't manage their own? But hey, whatever. Hope you get a new, better job soon.

Did anyone else read 136's comment as 6'1 and 25 pounds?

That's grounds for a lawsuit.

Shut up, eating disorders aren't something to joke about or hate on. A lot of people with an ED try very hard to get help, it's not as easy as you'd think. If you have never had an ED shut up, you sound ignorant and you're an asshole for making that comment.

People hate on you if you're too fat, people hate on you if you're too skinny. Makes no sense to me. If you're not one thing you're the other, and if you're a normal weight they find some other flaw to degrade you with. People suck.

113, Its wrong to judge people for being fat and it's wrong to judge people for being skinny. Your comment was douchey and shouldn't have been made regardless of your thoughts on the issue.
