I found this article on MSNBC.com, and the headline really hit home for me. My 10-year high school reunion is this year, and yes, I've gained weight since graduation-about 40 pounds, actually. But I've also just lost 40 with the past few years, so I'm feeling pretty good about going there they way I look now than the way I looked then.
To tell you the truth, I don't agree with reunion diets. Chances are, you were still growing into your body when you were a senior, so the chances of getting back to that weight and shape....eh, not so likely.
What I'm saying is, it's OK to present yourself, I believe, as you are. Instead of just crash-dieting before the big night. Losing weight should be about improving your health, and the toning and slimming benefits are an added bonus.
Yet if a reunion prompts you to start losing weight, follow that path. Just make sure you continue on it-for yourself and your health.
Your thoughts?
