b3nx Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I used to be chubbier and had a terrible hair style when I was younger. Now a girl in my group of friends has posted on facebook some old photos of us all and I am so bad lol I hve lost all of the weight and I look much better now but my new gf has not seem them yet I'm sure she will web she loggs on, I am so worried, I can't exactly ask her to delete them cause I will sound like a girl but I just dunno what to do I am 22
bean1 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I used to be 40lbs overweight. Don't be ashamed. Your GF will likely be proud of you. It takes a lot of dedication and self-determination to make such a lifestyle change. I gladly pull out my fat-college ID.
New Again Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 De-tag. Also, there's nothing wrong with asking your friend to delete them. Or ask your friend to make the album private somehow - like only allowing certain people to view it - such as the people who are tagged in it.
lucy9216 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Your gf is not going to care about what you used to look like, you look different now. And do you remember that chubby kid from stand by me? he is flippin hot now!!!!! everyone goes through physical changes either for the better or worse but what does matter is what kind of person you are. If she see's them and you show her that it bothers you, it will make you look insecure. Seriously don't worry about it
New Again Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I can understand being concerned with having unflattering pics of you online. If you're asking for an opinion on whether we girls would be turned off or something about those photos - don't worry about it. Basically ditto on what bean and lucy said.
Author b3nx Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 main prob is the girl who posted them is now one of her mates and if I tell her I want her to delete them I will be a laughing stock, I was only 10kg heavier than what I am now
mortensorchid Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I was in the same situation. I used to be 45 lbs heavier than I am now, and Facebook friends have tagged me in older photos. Know what? It's bad to see that once I was that, but now I'm happy. It's part of the past, and yes it is embarrassing once in a while to see those old photos, but it's a reminder of what I was once. And when others see those photos, they can't believe that I once used to be that way and they are proud of me now for dropping the weight. It's not a big deal. Remove the tags if you like, but it may creep someone's way eventually. Just say that you used to be overweight, and they will clearly see that you're not anymore.
boogieboy Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 B3nx, dont sweat it, this is what you do...if she tries to tease you about it, (which she probably wont care anyway) turn it around so that she sees youre not ashamed of it with a joke or something. example her: "hey I saw the pictures hen you were heavier, wow, what was going on??" you: "oh yeah that, I got liposuction, and I still have about 40 lbs of fat saved, cuz im sentimental...wanna see it?"
Peanut9330 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Dont worry about it so much that was in the past today is what matters and everyone went through some kind of akward stage in their life so just laugh about it lol.
SoulSearch_CO Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Eh. The past is the past. I don't get what the big deal is. I do think you're being a little bit of a girl about it. LOL I don't think I've ever heard a guy get upset because someone showed old photos of him. For some reason, guys usually think no matter how bad they looked, they were smokin. LOL She knows what you look like now - that's all that matters.
Jersey Shortie Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 As a woman, it wouldn't have mattered to me. I would have been proud of him for changing himself to that degree.
me003 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 You should be proud of yourself for having worked hard to loose the weight. You can untag yourself or you can comment on how your hard work payed off.
Chicago_Guy Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 main prob is the girl who posted them is now one of her mates and if I tell her I want her to delete them I will be a laughing stock, I was only 10kg heavier than what I am now Why are you so worried? 10kg isn't even that much, unless you're short - it's not like you were morbidly obese before losing the weight.
thegoodlife Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Don't be worried about it. My ex had lost about 60 lbs prior to meeting me and he was always very hesitant to show me pictures of himself from before. But he finally did, and it wasn't a big deal. I was so proud of him for working so hard to lose all that weight.
