Today, I discovered that a company has been using a photo of me for one of those "she lost 50 pounds" online ads. I'm the "before" photo. FML

Today, I saw a weight loss 'before and after' advertisement and I wished I could at least look like the 'before'. FML

Today, my friend found a picture of herself on a website filled with pictures of thin people. I was in the picture, also. I was crossed-out with the word, "EWW" written next to me. FML

Today, I was shopping with my friends and I got asked by a man if I could be in one of his commercials. I obviously said yes without thinking twice. I then found out that he wanted me to be the before picture for an acne control moisturizer. FML

Sharing my journey
Today, my partner has been losing weight to get slimmer and took a picture of the scale. He posted it onto his Facebook and tagged me in it. After two hours we got messages from his family to look in the reflection of the glass on the scale and I was nude in the background. Thanks, Hun! FML

Overthinking it
Today, I spent an hour photoshopping my face onto super skinny models as inspiration for a diet. FML

So you're the "before", but not the "after"? Are you trying to tell me... that an internet advertiser is making false claims?!

Using your picture without your consent is most likely illegal.

thats dam horrible to do to some one assholes don't know what does to people self esteem people been saying go lose the weight BUT there so much more to it, stop being so naïve it’s obvious people that say shit like that don't know how it feels, takes a lot of encouragement, and supportive help to make a change it just depends on the person really what type of help they need, its not just physical side of it so be open minded…

"The Internet" =/= Facebook. The ad may have been elsewhere. This seems likely because a Facebook ad picture is small, and to cut it in half for before and after would make it hard to see details.

Not sure why everyone is so sure this was even seen on Facebook to begin with.

117- People are saying that the ad-company-thing probably got OP's picture from Facebook. They didn't say that's where the ad was, it's just most likely that that's where they got the picture from...
