I have plans to see a former school friend on Friday. He's from Germany (and was an exchange student here.) I haven't actually seen him in like 9 years...
He emailed me to let me know he would be visiting the area and wanted to get together.
Needless to say, I am both excited and nervous about the reunion. It should be fun to hangout but I am sort of dreading it because I am heavier than I used to be and don't have the highest self-esteem these days. My mom said, "Yea, but you've lost a lot of weight." And I was like, "Yea, that's great but he doesn't know that... he's just going to think I'm fatter than I used to be."
Since he wanted to get together I invited him to come along to my friend's birthday party on Friday... I thought hanging out in a group would be less awkward. However, he said he is going to call me tonight to try to plan to get together alone sometime this week also. Not sure how I feel about that one... Ugh... Any advice on how to handle this?
On the upside, I will also be seeing some other friends on Friday who I haven't seen in several months and they might notice I've lost some weight...
