Let the Fundraising Begin

I'm not sure if most of you know this but next year will be my 20 year grad reunion. Yay...(followed by a deep sigh.....)
I'd like to pretend that I am so confident in who I am and what I look like. Actually, I'll take that back...I am confident in who I am. I just wouldn't mind a slightly younger, smaller version of who I am.
I'm doing the workouts, eating right(for the most part...I did cheat tonight and have the most delish piece of banana bread)but my body isn't morphing into the shape I want it to.
I'm starting to feel panicky.
At my 10 year reunion it was awesome. It was fun to meet up with some old friends, but it didn't matter what size I was...I was pregnant!! I didn't tell most that I got reaquainted with, that my body had taken on the pregnant look permanently from the past pregnancy. I just let those that didn't know assume that I was "enjoying" the pregnancy.
Which brings me to now. I have a couple of options. I could don a fake maternity look and go for the whole deception thing. Which probably wouldn't work because I don't like deceiving people and would probably fuel more rumours when they noticed a supposed pregnant mama shooting back some tequila shots. Option 2 is something I have been thinking about. I could do a quick trip to Vancouver and visit a local specialist(wink wink...plastic surgeon) and get myself a "20 year reunion" package. I'm sure they have these. I'm even more confidant that perhaps they'd have a "no interest for 12 month" payment option as well.
Hmmm...here's some prices for cosmetic procedures. I'll highlight in green the ones that would apply to me:

A friend of mine just had a boob job (she's now a B-cup) and she said it was the worst pain ever. I couldn't do any of that stuff, even the badly needed botox to the forehead!

Just be yourself Jenny, and they will love you! (And if they don't, screw em!)
