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.

sue them?

Gotta love the skinny broads bothering to speak up when we all know they will (or already are) just trophy wives that marry for money. forget them. I'd also say sue the people who did it. Internet or not if you didn't give expressed permission they can't use your likeness or images. Hope it turns out well and the "after" photos are always laughable, gotta love chicks that starve themselves for a loveless, waste of a future.

@ goyuckforself do some research please. Anorexia (starving or restricting food) and bulemia (perging or using laxatives) are just as much of an eating disorder as obesity. That is an inaccurate and offensive assumption. You sound ignorant when you make fun of one eating disorder but then turn around and say the other disorder is understandable and okay. OP, I am sorry, that sucks. Suing is a long, difficult, and expensive process, but you definitely have a case! I wouldn't sue, but we are not the same people! Good luck with whatever you decide to do about the situation.

Is that even legal? Shouldn't they have your consent or whatever? I say sue.
