Can I blog to lose weight?--Day 11

Going somewhere special any time soon? Special occasions are a great time to assess your appearance and often a great motivator to lose weight.
The Wall Street Journal had an article this week about how to dress for a school reunion.  We all want to look good, especially to people we haven't seen since our youth. High school is often a torturous time of adolescence and a high school reunion can be especially anxious for some people having to face those who remember them during a time they'd might like to forget. What I thought was most interesting about this article was the recommendation of how you should dress based of the "type" of person you were in high school. As if you are stuck with the reputation you had in high school for the rest of your life! God, I hope not! Where's the room for growth?
This article went on to recommend how the "jock", the "most likely to succeed" and the "cool" kids should dress at their reunions. The fallacy with this thinking is presuming that these people haven't changed. The jock should dress in body conscious clothes. Really? Is that good advice? How many former jocks have we seen whose bulky football muscles have turned to fat after 10 years?  Sorry, but I don't reallly want to see them in a tight tee. The "cool" kids in this article had an obvious artistic bent and they should dress like they don't really care too much. Do you really think these independent  thinkers are caring about their reunion enough to take advice about what to wear to it? The "success" kids should dress like they are ruling the world. Are they? Or do they just want others to think so?
 What about the nerds? They aren't even mentioned. These were the people you'd think that out of anyone the "experts" listed in the article, would be counseling. Or are the nerds, geeks and wallflowers still completely off their radar?
Maybe it's because the last time I looked, the nerds were ruling the world and they dress like the cool kids.

Weigh in: +.4 Obviously not a jock.
