Fail :(
Remember tomorrow is another day. Another chance to start over again. You are in control if yourself. Don't let others dictate how you feel. I know that isn't easy. There will always be someone in our life who may make us feel bad or trigger our emotional eating. Try and stay strong and positive. Fight those demons. Get help wherever you need it from.
Make sure that there is an accident report on file about this. It's not your weight that caused you to fall, it was the carpet. If you end up having any sort of injury due to the fall, it's important to have the report on file of you will be screwed (happened to a coworker).
You are human, and you had a bad day. Tomorrow is a new day, and your surgery is coming up! Hurray for you!

I might be tempted to take a picture of the carpet complete a form 6 and let her know you may seek medical attention, it could be a health and safety violation , that needs to be addressed ASAP. The last time I fell I fractured my wrist . People say that often when losing weight you can become clumsy, due to your body changing so quickly and falls can happen more often the rug needs to be fixed. Sorry this happened but use it as a lesson if you can

Well apparently a couple of co workers heard my supervisor question me if I fell cause I had mobility issued and was dismissive to me.
They went to Manager and complained and they took a couple of other workers with them that tripped and fallen in the same spot and there WSIB reports with them and said. WTH? Its been a problem for a while, now you have a supervisor insulting a staff asking if she fell cause of lack of mobility. WHY would she have lack of mobility? Does she walk with a cane? NO Does she walk with a crutch? NO. Does she using an form of aid? NO?
So why would your supervisor ask such a personal question in the middle of the floor in front of co workers to hear then openly doubt that there was a problem with the floor even tho its visible.
Now they have taken it to health and safety committee. This spot been a problem for a while and other workers have hurt themselves and have filed WSIB reports and still not addressed.
Manager called me in the office and apologized for me having to experience that and sorry for any embarrassment I was caused. The supervisor will be forwarding me a written apology
I have some lovely co workers and I am feeling pretty good about myself today.
Got up made an healthy breakfast and packed a healthy lunch and did treadmill for 30 mins before getting ready for work.
On bad moment doesnt define the rest of my life.
Failing is NOT FALLING DOWN, it is the refusal to recognize that you NEED to get back up!!! You didn't fail, you fell. No biggie in the grand scheme of things. In life come challenges. We all know this--it is about how we get through those challenges and the lessons we learn along the way that make this such an incredible journey. We chose our destiny. You said your supervisor asked you if you fell because you have mobility issues- did she actually ask you if it was because you were fat? Or is that how you judged her response to you when you fell?? Was it more of a 'I FELT" like she was implying that I fell because I have mobility issues because I am fat? Trust me, embarrassing of course!! Perhaps though--she wasn't implying that? Yah know...it sounds like you are much wanting to change how you perceive yourself. Sometimes physical change can't happen until we are able to work on the emotional root of all dis~ease. It is painful. We do fall down, especially when we are learning something new. Life is always a learning lesson. Look at it differently-- you did FALL not FAIL! Peace and Blessings
I understand what you are saying, and appreciate the positive message.
But she did ask if I fell cause of mobility issued cause I am fat. She stumbled over her words and looked me up and down and gritted her teeth and shrugged her shoulders when she said it.
Its not the first time I have issued with her about not knowing how to handle talking with me.
She has chairs in her office that are smaller. I had to meet with her and I just sat on the edge of the chair. She kept saying sit back and relax. I said to her, sorry I dont fit in your chairs. She stumbled over her words and did know how to react.
I dont believe its her intention to be mean, she is trying overly hard to be sensitive or something with me.
Well-- that's too bad that what she said made you feel as if you were "less than" due to your size and mobility. My belief is that Failure is not falling down it is refusal to get back up and try a different approach! After all, what is it that are wanting in life? Not to be a labeled? If you were thin, had mobility issues and STILL tripped at work...what then? Is it because you are THIN and still had mobility issues? What I am trying to say is it is just a label...fat, thin, flawless perfection, acne, caucasion, tea-party-- WHO ARE YOU? Don't let a trip-up in life keep you from believing in yourself. You can change anything, ANYTHING on the outside...but it will not do a damn bit of good for yourself until you begin healing emotionally. Have courage!
