My experience was that there will be a small number of people you liked, maybe even a little bit, and that you will meet them again and you will lovely. They will be more open to sharing their positive opinions than they were, and will have a sense of perspective on life, and you can all reminesce and catch up. And the people you didn't like, you will barely speak to, and anything they say will be just evidence of how much they haven't moved on, more cause for pity than angst. And that you shouldn't care how "square" you were, because people have grown up since high school and come to realise that, you know, squareness is somewhat associated with profitable employability. And don't feel in the least bit embarrassed about your health, attractiveness, career, etc. You haven't been through a messy divorce or become a single mother, gone to jail, had a major drug addiction, been unemployed for the last decade -- other people there will have more to feel self-conscious about.
And I say don't feel embarrassed about the not-thinness in the least. Flash your tatttoos. You'll look better than most, and much more interesting.
