When I joined Facebook a few years ago, I put up some relatively recent pics, in which I was several pounds thinner than I was at the time, but not too much of a difference. Hey, I was planning on getting the weight off.
Well, who knew I'd just be eating for the next few years? :P
I don't live near my hometown anymore, or near where I went to college, so there is no chance of really running into anyone who hasn't seen me in years and doesn't know I gained a ton. But now, thanks to Facebook, they think I look just great.
So anyway, I'm completely freaked out that one of my friends where I live now will tag me in a picture and the jig will be up! :O I finally started to get serious about weight loss, so I know I'll look better soon, but in the meantime I am freaked the heck out! I'll go out with friends, and they're just snapping pics like crazy! I've asked my friends please not to tag me. It's embarassing, but they understand and most comply. A couple others of them just insist and will tag me and I have to keep checking my phone constantly throughout an evening out so I can untag myself at a moment's notice. I've actually avoided parties where I know friends who do that will be there! Now, that's crazy!
When I'm in my hometown to visit family, I live in fear that I will run into people who only see my Facebook pictures. I ran into one a while back, and you could tell she was just stunned. And NOT in a good way!
If you have similar issues, feel free to share. In the meantime, I'll work at getting the weight back off so I won't have this fear.
