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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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..

YOU DESERVE IT IT'S BASICALLY A COMPLIMENT

WHY ARE YOU YELLING!?! And how is this a compliment? If you consider being fired a thank you, I'd hate to see what you do when you're upset. There are more subtle ways to give a compliment. Oh, and your logic makes no sense.

So they're going to hire fat people...to help fat people lose weight. Anyways, sorry about your job, FYL.

That's ridiculous, OP. FYL. Some people are just naturally skinny. They can't help that! I know lots of people who can eat and eat and eat and eat and not gain any weight at all. I, on the other hand, just look at food and gain about 10 pounds. Haha. What a dumb reason to get fired. Hope you find a better job

If they fired you for being too fat you could sue for discrimination. Do it.

Actually, no. If you work for a weight-loss company, the terms of your employment can include your weight being within a certain "healthy" range. If you break that part of the agreement, they can legally fire you. Responsible weight-loss programs do not encourage anorexia.

Dumbasses shouldn't have hired you in the first place then if that's what they think. It's a horrible reason anyways.

Weight loss doesn't mean everyone should look stick skinny. For some people that are over weight and are really trying to keep it off, like women that just had a baby or people with thyroid problems, looking at you may not be too "confident boosting" haven't you ever felt insecure!? Just saying.. Sorry about the job loss though they could have handled that differently. Maybe that company wants more people that show they can relate to "at one point needing to lose weight and how they went about it." That's why I got into the health and dietary councilor program at school.
