Lying about weight loss?

This is so weird to me. I don’t want to make this like a call out post so I’m not going to get into any specifics, but I saw a post by this girl I knew in HS and it’s all about her talking about how she lost a ton of weight with pictures, stating how she used to be very big in HS and now she’s like a lot lot less and fit.

Sooo...I knew this girl in high school, and she was never big, not any bigger than she is now. She was thin in HS and the only difference is that now she’s a bit more toned and has some curves.

There are like a thousand likes and a ton of comments on this post asking for diet and exercise tips, giving her praise and saying what a bomb job she’s done. But here’s the thing. These photos she is putting up of “before” are photoshopped or actually kind of look like one isn’t even a picture of her to begin with, but someone else.

I didn’t know the girl that well as we went to a bigger school and I’d never say anything to her about it. But like...idk man. It’s just weird to me. She could have put up pics of her actually in HS and say how she worked to get thicker and that would be cool, but idk. This almost feels like she’s trying to gain approval for something she didn’t do, and she’s answering all these girls questions about how she did it...

Just a strange situation. 🤔
