Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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.

If it was an advertisement on Facebook, and you don't have your Privacy Settings set to 'Don't Allow', it's perfectly legal for third-party advertisers to do this... It's a shady practice, yes, but definitely not illegal, unfortunately. =(

did you get money for being the model? did you sign anything when you got photographed? if so you may be out of luck.
