My Funny Picture

my KFC manager and other staff have called me FAT many times?

i work at KFC. ok i am not anorexic but im definitely not obese. i know im not within perfect weight range. im 75kg and 166cm tall. thats besides the point. one particular manager also brings up something to do with my weight. for example, there was a pigeon in the store and i said "ive eaten pigeon before" and he turns around and said "look at you, how many pigeons have u eaten?" and starts laughing. i would hate to have a bad relationship with my manager so i simply laughed it off and said shut up casually. another eg. was he came up to me and said "you are fat" and i said "you're an ass" (this was the first time he said it so i was quite offended) and he got all angry at me and when i talked to him next hes like "don't talk to me, u called me an ass". so i had to apologise and things went as usual. this is 2 of MANY examples. 2 days ago my work friend whom i am really close with and havent had a problem with since i met him said "have u put on 15kg? since uve come here, uve just gotten bigger and bigger. too much kfc". this actually isnt true because i have been the same weight since i joined until now which has been 1yr and a half. so i joked that off too and said "ur fat!". my school friends have also lightly joked about like my friend would say " hello my fat little friend. u remind me of a koala. all u do is sleep and eat". i honestly found it kinda funny so i never make a big deal of it but it does hurt me that my friends openly tell me im fat. my other work friend who i have been out with and watched a movie with as well as bowling, dinner etc. made heaps of fat jokes until one day i snapped at him and didnt speak to him for an entire so he came back and apologised and hasnt said a thing since. when he saw my prom pictures, he was like "they're very nice and i could say something else but u'll probably get offended". my nice girl work friend told me u need top put them in their place if they're offending u, because they are thinking of it as a joke when ur taking it as an insult. so if ur pissed off, show it. i dont know if its worth being pissed off at my manager because he is a guy who well, doesnt really have feelings. hes the kind of person who goes GET OVER IT and forget it ever happened but will be furious if u tease him about something. this IS annoying me but not to the point of bringing it up with head office or anything. i can handle it but i just need somewhere to tell someone to blow off a little steam when ive had a bit too much. thats why im here.......also to get your opinion thanks...... have u ever been treated like this at work? also i am REALLY GOOD FRIENDS with everyone there and they are genuinely nice people but they just cant help a good joke every now and then.

1. have youre manager fired
2. IDK. You could call the corporate office for kfc and ask them whats best to do? By asking them and not forcing it on them, they most likely will look into it for sure.
3. Join a gym, seriously. I am not saying this because I think you are fat, however you do get very offended when people call you fat. Going to the gym will give you confidence & make you feel good about yourself. When you feel good about yourself you will laugh with (or at!) people when they call you names. You also need to release some stress, and the gym is a perfect outlet for that. Look for a gym in your area & ask for a tour. If you like what you see proceed to buy a short term membership (just incase you dont like going to the gym... this stuff is expensive), and release some stress.
4. I know how hard it can be. I used to work for a little family business and the guy actually asked me if I had any kids and when I told him no he actually told me I look pregnant! I never said anything, but it still to this day bugs me. I know its not easy to speak up, but you should if you can. I honestly would say soemthing smart back. If someone says your fat just be like Yea and I love it! If they say you look big in your prom pictures, tell em hell yea you love your big ass and if they dont they can kiss it! If they say something about eating too much kfc (but you really dont eat it) Tell em, Naw, I LOVE food but there chicken aint the shit you'd blow your diet over Give em something that they cant say much back too. Whatever you decide to do, DONT let it shake your self esteam- trust me I get the are you pregnant question all the time, but hey if your happy who cares?
5. I think it's inappropriate to bring up someones weight or anything else of a personal nature. I think it's rude and hurtful. Maybe you need to tell your friends that you find their comments about your weight hurtful and you'd like them to stop! If they are really good friends, they will. As for your manager, I would make a complaint to his supervisor or to the corporate office. That is so wrong to treat a person that way.
6. i tell you what just walk for an hour a day and you can loose alot of weight
7. You have to like yourself and the way you look for one thing. Your so called friends are being rude and disrespectful towards you and I would tell them that too. They would not be my friends if they called me names. They are not trying to help you lose weigh by asking you to go out with them for a walk so that is not helpful and wrong of them. You didn't ask if this outfit made you look fat so they should have kept their opinions to themselves. At work you are being harassed by your boss and co-workers and that is illegal. It wouldn't hurt if you went to a pay phone and called the Corporate Office and asked about it without giving your name. If you want to keep your job you could say nothing or say something back like, Well I could lose weight but your ugly! or I could lose weight but I feel sad or bad for you. It has worked for me; I have been fat all my life and I have dealt with it and I am happy with myself you will lose the weight when you want to or when a doctor says you have too. My hubby likes fat girls. I would rather be fat then boney. It is nice to weigh less but if your happy then I wouldn't worry too much about it at your age as you sound like a teenager. It is a harder life when you are fat tho and I have seen many people fatter than me now days. I am short and fat and I have a few friends that are afraid to gain an ounce, too bad for them. Good luck to you, enjoy your life and don't let them get you down.
8. your best option wold be to call yum
