How come lots of MENA members don't have Pics posted

[Gugusitolindo 32]

Hey gang...I was wondering how come most MENA VJer do not have pictures in their profile. For example..when clicking the View

Photos, almost no one has any? how come? is there something I dont know?

Anyone/? care to say why?.....

Hamza and Danni just posted wedding pics....so beautiful. Where are the others? Most likely when I click the "view photos" there

is none!

Apparently in the past, someone came on VJ and stole photos of people from their pages, and showed them on another site to make fun of them or something. Someone here knows the story...

I don't post any pics on the internet - not on FB, etc so it's not happening on VJ. Once they're out there, they're out there & you have no control or knowledge about what people do with the pics.

Yes, a right-wing anti-Muslim blogger used photos from MENA posters in her blog, ridiculing them.

I post pictures of my cat, because I don't care if the entire world sees my cat.

I'd rather not have pictures of AbuS and I floating around the world wide web, being used as an example of MENA men using fat american women for GCs (although I'm halfway to my weight loss goal, so maybe when I'm a smokin hot babe, I'll put a few out there ).

My husband doesn't like the idea of having our pics posted online especially on a public forum. I can't argue with that. It's not always a good idea to be so free with your pics publicly.

Congratulation on getting 1/2 way to your wt loss goal. Anything particularly useful and helpful you've been doing?

Check your PMs. Posting about it openly is not allowed on VJ.

Thanks! It's taken me a year to reach the halfway point, and I hope to be finished one year hence (wooo, I used hence in a sentence ). It's basically the usual - eating very healthy and exercising. I've reduced my meat consumption to almost 0, eat only chicken on occasion, and fill up on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains (especially those close to their native form like brown rice, bulgar, etc, instead of whole grain breads) and beans. I make almost everything for myself, which is time consuming, but I've found that processed foods have so much crud in them, it's worth it to make stuff where you know everything that goes into it.

And the biggest for me is not eating out. Even with being pretty much a vegetarian, there are still so many tempting choices for lunch close to my office that I have to hide my wallet from myself. Basically, when I eat out I fail. When I pack my lunch, all is well.

I've tried to blog about this, but as with just about everything in my life that isn't Squeaky related, I'm not too good at keeping up with it. The 2 series are Food Rules and Food Matters.
