thanks everyone, my stomach is already churning but i have picked out my smartest, best fitting clothes, i have nice new shoes i bought 2 weeks ago so that will give me some confidence, and i will plaster a smile on my face and not let my nerves show!
ShanIAm thank you so much, i feel a lot better after reading what you wrote, i am quite good at faking confidence, but however i am feeling i always smile and i am naturally inquisitive so ive thought of questions already, i just have to get into the mindset that whilst people may notice my weight first, there are other things about me that are far more forthcoming once i spend some time with someone
