"Hi guys. Remember how I told you I was the last person I knew to finally get on the Facebook wagon last week? Well, you guys were right: It&amp;#x27;s a.) totally addictive and b.) craaazy who you&amp;#x27;ll find on there. I&amp;#x27;ve reconnected with people I haven&amp;#x27;t seen or spoken to in 10 years--since high school. One of those people &amp;quot;wrote on my wall&amp;quot; to ask me if I&amp;#x27;m planning on attending our 10-year high school reunion this Friday in Connecticut. I had no idea we graduated 10 years ago OR that a reunion was taking place. The truth is, one year (and many, many pounds ago) I would not have given it any thought--of course I wouldn&amp;#x27;t attend; I&amp;#x27;d be ashamed to. Now, although I&amp;#x27;m still in the middle of a weight-loss journey, I have the confidence to see people from my past despite not having what I consider to be my ideal body. And at the risk of sounding like my head is getting too big--trust me, it&amp;#x27;s not (see yesterday&amp;#x27;s post for proof!)--I think I do look better than I did 10 years ago. I mean, you guys all saw the passport photo I posted--taken back in 1998. Yikes! I still may not go; I think I need a weekend of staying put in New York and dealing with life and errands and getting back on track with everything including my shape-up efforts, but it still feels good that my imperfect body is not the thing holding me back from going. Who knows, maybe I&amp;#x27;ll ditch the work and laundry I need to catch up on and make an appearance--should I? I&amp;#x27;m curious: Do you guys think you look better now or back in high school?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
