Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

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, 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.

STOP COMPLAINING AND GET EXCERCISING!! if not for you, at least do it for your man...but you probably don't have one.

if that's true you can sue for not giving permission of any kind, you'd win easily if that's the case

How do they have your picture for that if you didn't know....? Well with that behind me…I don't think they can use your picture without your permission. Can they?
