I specifically asked not to be made

Hi all, I'm livid right now. I was fortunate enough to have my picture in the newspaper for an art award I won. I had the picture taken at my work since we have a photo studio. I also asked that I get to touchup the picture since I wanted to remove blemishes and I did. I don't think I look terribly bad even though I am still big--but not for long. The photographer proceeded to fool around with my picture and e-mailed me a pic with my shirt changed, and face thinned out along with makeup added since I usually don't wear any. I didn't think he was going to go and send it in. I even talked to the person who was going to send it to the paper and specifically told her not to use that picture since it isn't me. I said then don't put a pic in the paper. I didn't know he submitted the picture to the paper and I found out today that's what's in there. It upset me so much that I just feel like taking drastic measures. I have a feeling my boss who is a fat bigot had told the photographer to do that since he doesn't want a fat person representing the company (this is my feeling as I am upset right now, I don't have any proof of it, but I hear things in the office). Tomorrow is my first day back at work since my RNY and I am already feeling low. What should I do? Should I sue the crap out of them? (that would be nice but not good to work there anymore!) I'm crushed. What would you do?
