Before You CUT take pictures

[MJ]

Ok folks, I'm going to say it...

If you are in a length-based challenge of any sort, please don't post -- at any time during the challenge -- that you reached your goal or almost reached it, "but, just had to" cut XX inches off because of XYZ and therefore won't reach the goal you had committed yourself to reaching AND then not show pics of the before and after the "cut."

After seeing the growing frequency of this statement over the past year or so, my first thought nowadays is

", REALLY erplexed?"

Of course, the poster's response, should they have been privy to my thoughs, might have been, "Like I care what you think."

But my reasoning is this: If you had reached/almost reached your goal why not take pictures? And if you are going to cut it, why not just take a few pics of before and after the cut (say for motivation or to gain LHCF empathy or whatnot)?

Sometimes these statements just seems a little too convenient, especially when they fall under this . category.

Personally, I rather someone fall out of a challenge than make that statement without posting pictures.
My 2 cents.

This was indeed very funny. At this point in my life, I NEEDED to laugh and this post did it.

I thank you too for the much needed laugh this morning.

ITA. This has happend to me a time or two. I made progress but my ends were a little on the sparse side. I may not post the pic (I'm a little challenged when it comes to posting pictures), however I do document before and after the cut in my fotki.

Exactly! That's why I'm not claiming BSL until my lowest bra is BSL, not the one I have that's real high up on my back!!!

 

[The Girl]

lol I do agree about the cut with no before pics and thanks to that link I see I can not claim BSL just yet...

 

[silvergirl]

say that to all the "BSL" ladies running around with their two strands barely touching the top of their bras .... that they just have to have the whole world see.

I closed it because I see exactly where this is going. There are already too many threads like this.
