I have to share what happened to me last night. It truly is the best thing ANYONE has said to me in a LONG time! I am so happy, I am still on cloud 9.

SO I went to a reunion show for a HS band I loved with much distress. I haven't seen almost all of the people in 15 years. (Class of 95) I didn't go to any of my class reuinions because I was fat and disgusting. I wasn't fat in school at all. I was a model for Ford, so I always thought I had peaked in high school.

Well a guy that I had a crush on in high school leaned over to me last night and said

"Don't take this the wrong way because I am married but you look better now than you did in high school."

I wanted to cry and kiss him. I just smiled and said thank you, while inside I was doing the happy dance. Everyone was telling me how good I looked, I even got a bit of revenge with an old boyfriend.

Last night made it all worth it! I love my band! :thumbup:

You're right...that makes it all worth it. Congrats on your success...you're definitely an inspiration to me (being banded on the 18th of Sept). God Bless.

Thanks Bella. Best wishes to you on your upcoming surgery! :thumbup:

Oh that is really great!! You do look great and you should be proud of it!! Flaunt it girlfriend!

How wonderful for you! That must have felt amazing. You are a true inspiration for bandsters. I have seen your posts here regarding your journey with your band and through your plastic surgery. You are an amazing person who always seem to have good advice to give. Thank you.:thumbup:

That is sooo COOL!!!!!

I graduated in '86 and haven't been to any of my HS reunions either (not even my 20th, 2 yrs ago!). For the same reason. I was thin in HS and started gaining after I got married at 19. I didn't feel comfortable going. I plan on going to the next one, even if I'm not at goal yet. I think I'll just be feeling better about myself. I have seen a few people since that still live here and I hate meeting up with them. Of course no one has said anything but my imagination fills in the blanks for me! UGH!!

Thanks for sharing your NSV!!!

That's so kickass hun!!! Hopefully I can goto my HS reunions being a new skinny me! I've always been the huge girl so it would be a huge surprise for them. LOL. I'm glad last night was incredible. Love you!

Thanks everyone. I am still on cloud 9.

Girl, I knew you'd rock it!!

I'm in the same boat as you. In highschool I was 120 something and hot. So, I missed my last two highschool reunions because I was so embarrassed!! But, the 20 year reunion is coming up in 2011.. a long ways away, but I'm gonna go...and I hope I can look as good as you and have people say that stuff to me girl. Hey, you have to tell me what you ended up wearing.. :thumbup:

Thanks! lol...It was so much fun. I am so glad I went. It was the best time I have had in YEARS! :thumbup:

And yes the outfit freaking rocked. The 4" heels were the best choice. :confused: I got tons of comments on how hot my ass looked. THAT only happens in really high shoes for me...lol..

Awww that is a good story. May I ad some adlib to spice it up a little (for entertainment sake!!)

SO I went to a reunion show for a HS band I loved with much distress. I took a lot of time picking out a pretty outfit, complete with shimmery nude stockings with butt support! I haven't seen almost all of the people in 15 years. (Class of 95) I didn't go to any of my class reuinions because I was fat and disgusting. I wasn't fat in school at all. I was a model for Ford, so I always thought I had peaked in high school.

Well a guy that I had a crush on in high school leaned over to me last night and said

"Don't take this the wrong way, you tucked your skirt into your pantyhose.. and I like what I see!"

I wanted to cry and kiss him, instead I did a little bow to play it off! I smiled and said thank you, while I was adjusting my skirt. Everyone was telling me how good I looked, I even got a bit of revenge with an old boyfriend who saw the show--and never got to see this show when we were together!

I dunno, I told you I'm bored. :thumbup:

ROTFL....Laura! love it! :thumbup:

Brandy, that is so awesome! I am so happy for you that you got to go and show off!

Oh what a great compliment BOOBOO! My 25 year reunion is coming up next year. However, I start meeting with the reunion committee the end of this month. I can't wait to see everyone because the last time they saw me was at the 20 year reunion and I was about 80 lbs heavier!

My ex boyfriend (who totally broke my heart and dumped me cold) will be there. Ahhhhh, can't wait to see his face when he sees me! Yes, revenge is so sweet!

Wow Brandy! You go girl.

I went to my high school reunion (10 year) and wish I hadn't! I was a size 8/10 in high school and 24 at my reunion. NO ONE RECOGNIZED ME! No one! They would read my name tag and look at my face and then it would click. It was awful! I didn't dance or anything. I had some friends pick on me - So you're too good to dance now. I told them no - I just can't do it anymore...it wears me out and my back hurts.

I'm so glad you have a great time! You rock girlie! What a great NSV!

who totally broke my heart and dumped me cold) will be there. Ahhhhh, can't wait to see his face when he sees me! Yes, revenge is so sweet!

OOOOH YOU WILL LOVE IT! Mine was so pissed off he ended up leaving! LOL...revenge is so sweet and it IS ON THE BANDSTER menu!
