When I'm no longer fat, I look forward to not finding horrifying pictures of me on Facebook.
Now I'm not totally ingnorant. I know that even when I'm skinny, there will still be awful pictures of me showing up - say, like, me picking my nose or scratching my rear or something awful.
Because of my weight, I never post pictures of myself on FB. Ever. The only pictures I post are of my kids. Even my profile pic is of one of my kiddos. However, I am tagged in TONS of pictures, because my family takes a ton of pics, loads them, and helpfully tags me in them. In fact, the picture on this blog was taken by a family member, and posted and tagged on FB by that same person. I didn't even have a picture of myself, I had to get one from my FB page that someone else took. Nice, huh?
Anywho, that same person loaded a bunch of pics of me taken that day. It was a little bit before Christmas, and we were at a museum. Santa and Mrs Claus happen to be there, and for some reason, my kids weren't terrified of them, so we got in line. Previously mentioned family member positions herself off to the side of Mr and Mrs Claus so she can take pictures of my kiddos first ever visit with the Big Man.
We get to the front of the line, and the kids are mostly ok with the whole process. They tell the lovely couple what they want, all while said family member is snapping pics left and right.
Fast forward two days, and I get the email, "Said Family Member has added pics of you on FB." Oh jeez. There's approximately 142 new pics. So I start clicking through them . . .yep, I'm sure fat . . . at least I'm behind someone here . . .man, that's a lot of chins . . .and so forth. And then I get to the pièce de résistance - a pic of me squatting down with my nervous 2 year old in front of Santa, with my ass crack in full view! Holy crap. Why couldn't Said Family Member, whom I love dearly, leave this particular pic out of the batch? Doesn't she realize that that's an unflattering picture? What is WRONG WITH PEOPLE!?!?!

Oh you poor thing! Horrible horrible family members!
ReplyDeleteNO ONE takes pictures of me unless its me (and if its me all your getting is FACE) LOL.
ReplyDeleteYou can take the tag off so they wont show up on your profile.
I dont know if you plan to, but I'm taking a few pre-op pics and have kind of a timeline on my progress. I havent decided if they'll ever make it to FB, but I will be able to at least look back.
Hey Heather!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know I can untag myself, but it's still show up on her page, and every other family member's page, because EVERYONE is tagged in that photo. I figure it won't do me much good because our friend lists are so similar anyway.
I do plan to take some pre-op photos, but they'll never go on FB. I might put them here, but you guys are used to seeing large naked bodies.
