I know exactly how you feel!! I was thin high school, so now that I've gained almost 100 pounds, I'm afraid to see anyone from when I was skinny.

I'm working really hard on fat acceptance--trying to be healthy and not worrying so much about physical beauty--but when I'm in my home town I still hide if I see anyone I think I knew back then.

I've come a long way to just loving me for who I am and not dwelling on what I *ought* to be, but I couldn't bring myself to go to my ten year reunion last year.

Maybe by my 20th I'll be self confident enough to take the plunge!
