So I graduated in 1999, and my class had its 10 year reunion last night. When I got the info in the mail I wasn't sure I wanted to go. I mean, in school I was the smart girl who was quiet and had only a small, core group of friends (who weren't going to the reunion). Oh, and I was also the fat girl, who never had a boyfriend and had ZERO interest from guys throughout 12 years of school.
In the end my husband and co-workers convinced me. And I'm glad they did. People had grown up a lot, and I spent some time talking with others I hadn't talked to in years. Except that "one" group of girls...every school has them. The ones who were always too good for everyone. They didn't speak to me. Really only one of the girls did, to tell the truth....
But the guys did.
When the subject of my weight loss came up (I've lost 80 pounds and am maintaining...but was likely heavier in high school than when I started my loss), all heck broke loose. I started getting comments from the men about how good I looked, etc. My husband didn't care, either...he just ate it up. He told me on the ride home that four of the guys told him I looked good, was hot, etc. They didn't even recognize me walking up to the building where the reunion was held, until I got closer and they saw my face.
Just made my WEEKEND.
10 Year Reunion
