Why does the background of your photo look like that?

...perhaps this is kind of irrelevant, but, this is MyFitnessPal, not Hoarders. Clean up your house if you're going to feature it in your photos for the whole world to see. I've literally seen like 5 photos today, where someone is prominently displaying their body, and I couldn't even tell you what they look like, because there is so much crap in the background, they basically completely blend in. If you're taking a picture of yourself in the mirror, and the only mirror you own is in your kids disastrous bedroom, clean it up. Otherwise, walk into the bathroom, or some other (hopefully more sanitary) room, and take your photo there. I'll take 'No Shame' for $500 Alex. Seriously. Half the pictures are rooms filled with kids stuff too. ...we won't even go into the fact that you let your kids live in squalor. C'mon people.

    I second that! I've seen profiles with beautiful girls taking their pics and in the background there's clothes and shoes all over the floor and scattered about the bed! C'mon, really?! You actually live like that? I'd be ashamed to let anyone come into my home and see that, let alone post it on a social network! :noway:

    My god YES. It's not nearly enough to have a perfect body, by god, you must also have a perfect home! And don't even think of wearing non-designer clothing! Have some self respect! This is the INTERNET after all!

    I agree with NVR. I'm ashamed when people come over and I've not gotten to the dishes yet or the beds aren't made lol...

    Photo-bombing at it's finest! Awesome!
  • I think the background in your photo needs more mess.

    Yeah I agree. I don't want to see dirty underthings in the back of that photo.

    Bitter much? Sometimes my mirror is spotted in my picture but you know what? I really don't give a damn haha I'm not cleaning rooms, mirrors, or putting on makeup for a fitness update photo and I expect the people on my FL to be tough enough to understand I don't live in model life. Flawed to perfection baby.

    Yep. It is MyFitnessPal..not Hoarders or How Clean is Your House. Why not stop judging other people's junk and just focus on your own fitness goals :flowerforyou:

    For those of you who maybe don't get what I'm talking about, I'm not talking about messy, I'm talking about BEDLAM. Which is why I provided a picture as an example. I've literally seen people standing in rooms that look similar to the photo I posted. You got towels laying around, or some shoes, or whatever, I get it. ...but if it looks like I see something that may or may not be an animal carcass buried beneath 4 layers of filth AND a baby carriage, you're doin' too much. Sorry.

    Try keeping any room clean with a 4 year old that likes to rearrange on a whim... I honestly have to clean the livingroom probably 3 times a day even though I still go to work and we are both out of the house for around 9-10 hours each day. Not to mention she explodes laundry baskets looking for toys that are not in them :grumble: Definitely a handful even though I try to curb the behaviour (doesn't help that at her fathers house she doesn't get in trouble for doing all this, he just lets her and cleans up after)
