These thoughts came about after reading a post on a forum where someone was upset… a friend of theirs found an old photo with them in it before their weight loss and contacted this person saying something to the effect of… ” I just found this aweful pic of you on my facebook album and you would die if you knew it was on here, xxxxxx, you look like ****”.
The poster then went on to talk about how it was a group photo with all these other people they knew, all smiling, and there they were “hiding” back in a corner and how “bad” they looked. They remembered how much they didn’t want to be in the photo at the time, and how sad it was to see that photo now.
Then the original poster talked about how they had posted an update photo to show friends and family their progress, and how this “best friend”, the one who brought this other photo to their attention had never commented on it at the time.
