    OP, As I read this I'm in tears because I had the same thing happen to me only it was my birth brother that posted it to make fun of me for being overweight. Don't beat yourself up. You are not your weight. You are not defined by your weight. Follow the advice of Grace and don't look back..............Also, To all the people that have responded so far, you have given me back my faith in humanity. What understanding, kind words you have...Love and peace to you all. :flowerforyou:

    I just need someone to listen I guess.
    We went with my mom and siblings to the park yesterday. my older (as in no longer living at home) brother was there, my younger bro and sis was there My kids. my husband. my step dad, mom...everyone. its rare that we all get together. the only one missing was my older (older than i) sister who lives out of state.

    anyway. lots of pictures were taken. I avoided most of them until my brother decided to pull his phone out and taken THE MOST unflattering photo of me EVER. Not only am i fat and disgusting looking but my kid fell off the skate board ramp so i was running trying to catch her...it was horrible.he laughed and said "Now thats one for facebook!" I asked him not to. told him i didnt like it and that he was being an *kitten*. he posted it anyways.

    i hate myself enough as it is. i avoid cameras. mirrors. anything shiny. i dont want to look at myself. much less have anyone else looking at me. and he posted the photo. i feel like he did it to make fun of me for the simple fact i politely asked him not to post it and why i was uncomfortable with it.

    i busted out in tears when i saw it today.
    happy mothers day JoMo. youre a disgusting fat *kitten*. And now the entire world can make fun of you right along with your step brother.
    My husband and kids have this big dinner and desert planned out and i feel guilty even thinking about eating even a bite of it. after seeing that photo- i could sure stand to go a few days without food. much less the meal they have planned for tonight.


    FML.

    Btw JoMo I suffered and am recovering from Anorexia and can tell you that restricting yourself of food because of you being unpleased with your weight is a totally awful and UNWARRANTED thing to do to yourself regardless of your weight! I do not care if you're 400 pounds or 40 pounds NO ONE deserves a rumbling belly and I am so utterly sorry that you feel that way. Please understand that you deserve food and nutrition, the food and nutrition that in this situation will help you lose weight but most importantly you deserve it because you are a human, a mother, a wife and a lovely person who deserves that food and nutrition to LIVE and sustain life. Take if from someone who restricted and completely cut herself off from food all together it is NO way to live.

    IMHO, Facebook, your brother, and your weight aren't the problem. Your self image and lack of self worth are. Instead of offering advice on how to untag images on Facebook I'm going to suggest that you find a therapist, counselor, priest, or support group and start talking thru the issues that you have with how you see yourself.

    Honestly, I agree w/ Dave. You don't know your brother-in-law's intentions. Could be totally innocent. It was an incident that no matter who was in the pic would have been posted to FB. Your friends & family look at you as YOU - a real person - not as you look at you. I know, I've been there. And and still trying to learn. You need to learn to love yourself inside & out. You ARE beautiful and families want to capture moments in pictures - in fun & love. :flowerforyou:

    OP, I understand where you are...I've been there myself...which is why I am going to agree with Dav on this one. It really might help you a lot to seek counseling. Getting healthy isn't just a physical thing, but a mental one and this might be a way for you to achieve that second part of the equation :)

    Being overweight does not make you disgusting. Try to appreciate your body, it gave you precious children, you have arms to hug with, a brain to love with, there is nothing disgusting about it. I'm sure the people that matter the most to you in life do not look at you like you look at yourself.

    If you don't want to be the size you are now you can do something about it, but it doesn't have to come from a place of hated and loathing.

    Bump...

    You have value in who you are. Never forget that. They great thing about it, NO ONE can take that value away from you. Hang in there.

    I just wanna hug you. Seriously.

    Firstly, do NOT let people make you feel like you're ever unworthy of love, affection or praise. Do NOT make them the reason you decide to get healthy or lose weight, it's a negative influence that won't help move you forward. But ultimately, do NOT let them ruin a wonderful gesture by family who love and care about you such as a meal on a special day like today. Do not let them make you feel like you need to starve yourself in order to fit their social standard.

    I really hope you find some peace (and love) today. <3

    You are not disgusting. You are not, you are not. I know this doesn't help, but you're not. You wouldn't say "You're disgusting" to someone else? Please don't say it to yourself, then.

    I'm so sorry anyone did this to you, much less someone who's family. That breaks my heart.

    I know it's a long time before OP checks back in here but I do want to commend her on something.

    The proper spelling of the word "disgusting" not just once but TWICE on this thread topic.

    Most veteran MFPers know, correct spelling in a thread topic is quite challenging.

    Can't even imagine how she managed it TWICE!

    Even the most anal MFPers try and fail.

    Not even kidding.

    It's a thing.

    What Forty6and2 said...
    use that picture as a motivator and then as a "before" picture to show how far you've come.

    That's right on. Surely difficult, especially right now with such a frustrating experience, but dang--it could be a perfect "before" picture (and a perfect "before" STORY) to post a year from now.

    I'm hoping for a fantastic "success stories" post from you sometime soon...Mother's Day 2015 perhaps?

    You are slowly devaluing yourself..You look at yourself and you realize if you were judging yourself you would judge yourself unfavorably.. No matter what.. You cant pretend to be a hero of your story you cant....You HAVE to be the hero of your own story. you can do that you can be that...You can be the hero of your story that woke up today..You can be the hero in your own story at whatever age you maybe. Stopped got out of bed and said i'm not doing this anymore I'm doing this differently. I'm gonna figure this out and i'm gonna do it only by my instincts and only by my morals and ideals and my mind,and i'm gonna be dead honest with myself. because i'm realizing this won't last forever... You can do this...

    People have to realize.that you are not your past..you are not all the times you messed up..thats not you..you are the person whose learned from a great deal of experiences and if you learn correctly and process that correctly you will succeed in whatever your goal you choose to follow..


    Don't let this ruin your day... Its YOUR day... Happy Mothers Day....

    Wow I love this

    You can report that picture against your brother to the Facebook team, saying it was posted without your consent, and they will most likely remove it for you, as well as notify your brother of the repercussions of posting pictures against others' wishes.

    I'd definitely try this. Your brother is an *kitten*.

    Just own your feelings and allow them to do their thing.

    If you really feel that way, you'll find a way to get the physical appearance you want.

    That feeling will be with you day-in-and-day-out and it'll be the voice on your shoulder whispering advice to you.

    There's nothing wrong with feeling like something is terribly wrong, but use that and transform that into getting it right.

    I have a similar feeling. I HATE being single.

    HATE it.

    HATE.

    That hate has been with me for over two years as I lost about 70lb so far and still counting.

    And guess what?

    I have a boyfriend now.

    And someday, I'll have another family, and a husband and some kids, with a little house, a big garden, and a middle-class income. I'll wear a size 8 or 6 or 4, and live happily ever after.

    Until then, I'm just above poverty level, over-weight, have a non-committed boyfriend and a dead end job.

    But I hate that so so much, that it drives me away from it.

    That hate of who I have become motivates me to just let the hunger bother me if I've had too many kcal.

    It motivates me to go back to school and find a higher paying job.

    That hate of being a 245lb single mom has led me to be a 180lb quasi-single mom, and will eventually lead me to being a 145, 127, 119lb happily married normal person.

    I just need someone to listen I guess.
    We went with my mom and siblings to the park yesterday. my older (as in no longer living at home) brother was there, my younger bro and sis was there My kids. my husband. my step dad, mom...everyone. its rare that we all get together. the only one missing was my older (older than i) sister who lives out of state.

    anyway. lots of pictures were taken. I avoided most of them until my brother decided to pull his phone out and taken THE MOST unflattering photo of me EVER. Not only am i fat and disgusting looking but my kid fell off the skate board ramp so i was running trying to catch her...it was horrible.he laughed and said "Now thats one for facebook!" I asked him not to. told him i didnt like it and that he was being an *kitten*. he posted it anyways.

    i hate myself enough as it is. i avoid cameras. mirrors. anything shiny. i dont want to look at myself. much less have anyone else looking at me. and he posted the photo. i feel like he did it to make fun of me for the simple fact i politely asked him not to post it and why i was uncomfortable with it.

    i busted out in tears when i saw it today.
    happy mothers day JoMo. youre a disgusting fat *kitten*. And now the entire world can make fun of you right along with your step brother.
    My husband and kids have this big dinner and desert planned out and i feel guilty even thinking about eating even a bite of it. after seeing that photo- i could sure stand to go a few days without food. much less the meal they have planned for tonight.


    FML.


    Take those negative feelings and turn them into something useful! If you feel fat and disgusting, then get on track to a healthy lifestyle of losing weight and getting fit. Negative thoughts and feelings are always bound to come our way, but it's what you do with them that matters. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

    Being overweight does not make you disgusting. Try to appreciate your body, it gave you precious children, you have arms to hug with, a brain to love with, there is nothing disgusting about it. I'm sure the people that matter the most to you in life do not look at you like you look at yourself.

    If you don't want to be the size you are now you can do something about it, but it doesn't have to come from a place of hated and loathing.

    ^^^^ this

    If someone posted the exact same thing about someone else, saying those things like "she is disgusting" about a friend or family member.......... think what people would say about the OP, what names they'd call them.......... so why is it okay to say all those things about yourself?? It's not okay! Never say such horrible things about yourself!! They're not true.

    Also, do you think your brother's actions - posting this pic on facebook and making a big joke about it - comes from your own reaction to the photo? I'm inclined to say it does. He doesn't hate you the way you hate yourself.... he's probably saying to himself "I don't know why she's making such a big deal, the photo's not that bad"........ I'm not saying it's okay that he posted it, because it's disrespectful to your wishes that he did........ but I highly doubt he thinks the photo is anywhere near as bad as you think it is. So it seems to me that this comes 90% from you hating yourself and beating yourself up and 10% from him lacking respect and maybe having a slightly immature sense of humour. If you'd seen the pic and said "Ha ha, what an inelegant pose I'm in.... oh well! I can't look perfect in every pic!" he would have been so hellbent on posting it on facebook? He doesn't understand that you hate yourself, and that's why you can't stand to see yourself in photos... all he can tell is that you're massively overreacting to a pic where you don't look your best, and he's making a big joke of it.... immature, yes, but the negativity you feel comes from yourself far more than from him, because you hate yourself and you say such bad things about yourself.....

    Learn to love yourself, and then make positive changes for your health because you know you deserve it. Making changes from a place of self hatred is a difficult, uphill struggle and it's too easy to fall into a pattern of self-punishment which is not conducive to long term success because people can't continue punishing themselves indefinitely.... so please learn to love yourself and stop beating yourself up!

    JoMo you are what you are. That was very mean of your brother since you ask him not to use it, but yourself disgust isn't helping. We all need to love ourselves, no matter what we look like. I pray we all lose all the weight we want to lose, but the reality is, it really doesn't matter. If we don't love ourselves at our present weight, we're not going to love ourselves at a lesser weight. We have to do all this for OURSELVES! Do you really want that person who wouldn't look at you when you weighed 200 like you now because you weight 160? Will they love you if you gain 10 pounds. We all need to be able to look in the mirror and see what beauty we each posses. I have the most beautiful hair I"ve ever seen. I love my chest, I have a cute butt and a very happy face. I know I have a big waist, but I'm working on it and that doesn't define me.
    Love what you have succeeded in not what yo9u haven't. I know it's hard. Some days, I can't do it! I hate myself and the fact I've never been thin. But at this moment in time, It's who I am and I love that person in the mirror. I thank God I've released 33 pounds. That's the weight of a 4 year old child. That's a good thing!
