OTV: Go Away ‘Fat Photos’

Random thought. Guess it’s one of the pitfalls of entering the public realm, but wouldn’t it be nice if you could press a magic button and make all your “fat pictures” go away after you lose a significant amount of weight? I’ve been making good progress in that direction myself and would cringe to see an less-than-flattering old photo being bandied about after all my hard work. Not quite there yet, but am really looking forward to the day I see the new, fit me next to my column in the paper …

Question: OrangeTV goes on to say that Dan Gookin has lost a lot of weight but he still has old photos floating around that appear with stories about him, including here. (I don’t have any others.) Should Gookin’s supporters tout his stick-to-it-ness by pointing to the weight loss?
