Today, my overweight colleague twisted his ankle. He's pretty self-conscious about his weight, but I had a brain-fart and told him he shouldn't try to put too much weight on it. His feelings are more hurt than his ankle now. FML

Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML

Slipping up

Today, I slipped and sprained my ankle while shopping for a present for my husband, who later came home and tripped over my elevated leg, hurting my ankle again. Now I have an excruciating sprain, and a spouse who's furious at me because, I "shouldn't have tried to surprise him." FML

Today, I noticed quite a few scars on one of my coworker's legs. I pulled her aside and told her that self-harm was never the answer, and if she needed to talk I was always there. Turns out she's just clumsy and trips a lot. FML

Today, my legs were really sore from working out yesterday, so it hurt going down the stairs at work. To avoid the pain, l ignored how stupid I looked and limped down the staircase. When I finally got to the bottom, I hopped off the last step. And twisted my ankle. FML

Today, I decided to begin jogging since my weight was getting a little out of control and I wanted to do something about it. Guess who tripped on a root and broke their ankle? Yeah. Exactly. FML

Today, my friend invited me to his boxing club for the first time. Since I'm somewhat short and scrawny-looking, he was worried that the workout would be too difficult for me. I waved him off and told him that I was tougher than I looked. Five minutes into class, I sprained my ankle. FML

That's a typical thing to say about an injury. He should know that, and it shouldn't affect your ability to speak normally.

Don't worry if he complains about you to human resources, he doesn't have a leg to stand on

On the brightside the emotional pain you put them through makes thei physical pain hurt a lot less

you should also tell him to stop being a butt hurt little bitch. people need to learn to grow up and not cry about stupid little shit. if he is unhappy with himself he should change it

What a puss. If he's sensitive about his weight he should get a yoga mat or something and just try to work out in his spare time. That's what I do and I'm very self-conscious about extra weight. If he can't even take a minor comment without twisting it to be hurtful, he needs therapy.

As someone who is very self-conscious about their weight, you seem like a good person, and this is obviously a misunderstanding. Don't worry too much about it!

Well it is good advice and really the doctor likely did or should have said the same thing

Self-conscious or not, he should be rational about it. Ankle/leg injuries are serious and should be dealt with carefully, and you were just trying to remind him of that.
