Just got an email that we are offically having our 10 year class reunion in May. There is NO WAY I will go to that, but I really want to. I just can't go looking like this. Even if I keep on my plan, & keep loosing weight, it won't be enough in 4 months!! We didn't have a 5 year reunion, so who knows when there will be another. I guess I just feel down on myself for letting myself get this far.

On the upside, is it possible to lose 2.5 pounds in one day? Usually if I'm doing good, I'll lose 1/2 pound every day / every other day. This morning I was 2.5 down from yesterday!? I did nothing different yesterday, except had a major craving for something cheesy & fried, it was strong for like an hour. I didn't give in & drank some water & ate some fat free pringles chips. I drank a ton of water yesterday, maybe it was water weight?

Angie,


Girl! You go to that reunion!! You deserve too! And if you lose weight too fast, like 2.5 in a day, it is water weight. All those "lose 10 lbs in one weekend" diets are all water weight okay? You will gain those back once you start eating normal again.

Just speaking for myself-

I went to my 5 yr. reunion, even though I weighed 100lbs more than I did in school. I had a WONDERFUL time. Some people shocked me, many had taken far different paths than intended. No one was unkind, and I got over my feelings of insecurity while talking about old friends, who's done what and sharing pics of kids and spouses. I was SO grateful that DH came with me, although he came late and I dreaded going in alone it wasn't bad. It was truly a memorable night, and I didn't regret going for a second. In fact, it put me in touch with many old friends about whom I had wondered and worried.

Do what's best for you, but I would think you'd kick yourself for not going.
