Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Same thing different taste
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
Today, I saw myself on the news. I was one of the random passers by they had filmed for their story on the "Fat Epidemic." FML
Today, I realized that every targeted advertisement on my Facebook involves gym memberships and diet pills. 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
Today, I found a picture of myself on the "People of Walmart" site. FML
Realization
Today, after always thinking I wasn't ugly, just fat, I've lost 30kg and it now turns out I was wrong. 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.

Cease and desist with any use of my likeness or my photo or I will file civil charges. I know that couldnt have made you feel good and that had to hurt. The good thing about it is that you can still do something about the weight that you have probably been trying to lose. I know how hard it can be to lose weight. This is what helped me humblebeginningsin2cash2.com. Hope this helps.

Who the hell even says 'psyche' anymore? Also, learn to spell 'before', 'hot', 'your' and 'damn', and for the love of god, the power of the almighty comma is a great one, you ******* tool. Use it.

Wow that is one of the saddest fmls ever. The bad news is you gotta lose some weight after something like that. The good news is I lost a ton of weight (100 lbs) it can be done. Another part of the good news, you are prolly not a bad looking person if they were using you, just hefty. Imagine when you lose the weight how good you will look/feel! Now put down the depression Oreos and grab a carrot. If you're doing that you are on your way!

I think the OP is more weirded out by being a random image than she is about 'needing' to lose weight.
