Mixed emotions for my 30 year Reunion

[pink]

I am going! It is going to be hard though.

I am so happy about my life. I love just about everything that is going on with me except my weight. I love myself though. I am so excited with what life holds for me.


So, I am going to this reunion and I am going to have a good time! I am going to be myself and try not worry about my weight. I am going to look beautiful.

As you can see, I am struggling with mixed emotions. Dammit. I hate feeling insecure at times.

My 50th reunion is near, all look like hell. The beautiful girl I dated thru high school looks like an old poodle or Mama from the Carol Burnett Show.

Chances are your old Quarterback has a big beer gut, so don't stress it.

Just get a good shelf bra, one that puts those big boobs of yours on prominent display.

Cleavage and Nipples.

Winning!

Pink, you are a beautiful woman you have nothing to worry about! You are going to have so much fun!!! I am excited for you...I cant wait until you post about how amazing it all was.

I have nicer hair.

That is the first good advice you've ever given me, Lance.

I'm going to go buy a nice outfit, something black. *nodding*

Headed to mine in November. I haven't been to any of the earlier ones, but I've moved back home and the reunion will be close.

Had lots of fun reconnecting with a bunch of my classmates on Facebook.

I hope you have a lovely time!

Thanks, Reci. It's coming up on Oct 10th. I'll be ok. lol

I don't think so, but I understand the sentiment.

My high school holds reunions every 5 years for "clusters" of years....we use the old canoe club, which is one of those big rambling 100 year old wooden boathouses with a huge upstairs and a gigantic deck on the big lake in the middle of the neighborhoods which feed my high school.

I like that format because you get to flirt with the girls that were both "too old" and "too young" when we were teens, but are now all perfectly acceptable prospects.

 

[Noor]

I would say dress nicely, not for attention so no boobs on display unless you want to attract the class sleaze.

Everyone else there will have aged 30 yrs as well, the smokers will probably look like they have aged 50 years. Most of this country is overweight so depending on what kind of high schoool you went to, I suspect most of them will be too.

Just go and have fun!

 

[Lancecastor]

Noor is wrong.

Bring out the Big Guns.

 

[vibes]

Mixed emotions are very understandable in this case although, as everyone else has already mentioned above, 30 years have passed for everyone and each of them is dealing with their weak points.

It's a good thing you get a chance to meet them all; in my class there is already someone missing

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Everyone struggles with something. Except JBJ that is.

I know it's hard to feel confident and sure when you're unhappy with some aspect of your life but they'll probably be feeling something similar too. Go, have fun!

I mastered my issues, dear. You don't gotta love the results but you aint an official scorekeeper, neither.

 

[haha_on_me]

Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead! We are of an age where we should enjoy the reunions as the opportunity to dust off the memories, and sell them for more than they are worth. It doesn't matter how much money one makes, what kind of car they drive, or how thin or fat they've gotten. If it matters what someone you rarely, if ever think about, whispers behind your back, shame on us all. Those that we care about, and that care about us, are the only ones that really matter. Take it for what it is, a time to be silly with people you once were silly with.

 

[Aquagal]

I agree, wear something fun and put out those nice titties of yours and show off some cleavage.

I've never been to any of my reunions, although they have been every 5 yrs. My 30th in July was the only one I felt nostalgic about after seeing tons of pictures on Facebook.

Chin up, smile, and dance!

 

[Noor]

Noor is wrong.

It depends what her intentions for being there are. The big guns attract the sleeze and can alienate other women esp. those with smaller guns or straying husbands.

Reunions can be good places to renew friendships, find jobs and start new relationships so it helps to look like you are good for all that.

 

[dirtwrench]

Pink, we may not be best buddies here, but I have seen enough of your pics to know you are a very sexy & beautiful woman. Your posts show that you have the brains and personality to overcome any so-called problems with your physique.

I went to my 25th a few years back. I'm one of the guys who now has a beer gut and a LOT less hair than I once did. Guess what? Those girls from high school are now 40 something ladies with a few miles, a few wrinkles, a few extra pounds, and still the people I grew up with. We all age and change.

This is weird. She shouldn't make herself feel less attractive to appease the insecurities of other women. Are they going to make themselves look heavier to help with her weight insecurities? That's absurd. She can be sexy and not slutty. And even if she was slutty...who cares. Life is short.

 

[Lancecastor]

America is the richest, most powerful country on earth.

If America was a woman, she would be a big-tittied woman.

Everybody loves a big-tittied woman!

Head of State

I didn't say make herself less attractive just not be blatantly sexual. She is a very attractive person without the need to display her boobs. Her kindness, personality, smile and charm are really what is attractive and unique to her, not her accident of birth breasts.

Dressing slutty is attractive for attracting sex, and if that is why she is going to the reunion then she should dress that way.

Unfortunately, people do judge you on how you are dressed more than your weight. We live in the US midwest, where people tend to be prudes.
So if you focus their attention on your sexuality, then that is how they think of you.

Pink is starting a new stage of her life, no point closing doors to opportunities that she doesn't have to.

 

[ElasticMermaid]

I don't know her. But in general, if that's what makes her feel good and confident about her body than I think it's more important than what other people think, especially when their judgement comes from their own insecurities and shame.

She should of course wear whatever she feels comfortable in. I was merely giving my opinion and explaining why I disagreed with the displaying her boobs posts.

Their judgement only matters if she might want or need something from them, and then in that case there is no point making them uncomfortable.

I am sure she will look wonderful whatever she wears. I know her somewhat and I know she is in a good place in life so I suggest she dress to reflect that and what she wishes to be in the future.

 

[Noor]

Also looking beautiful, which is what she wants, and looking blatantly sexual do not have to be the same thing.

My 40th reunion was last July. I had a good time, but the people I really wanted to see again were not there.
Don't worry. You will be hotter than 90% of the women there, and the other 10% spent more money than it was worth.
