What do I do about this ex-friend wanting to hang out with me?

I used to be moderately overweight and now I am VERY overweight. He wants to hang out with me next week but I don't want to see him because I don't want him to know I've gotten fat. My cousins family is visiting me next week. I will be free for about 5 or 6 days after they leave, then I'm going to Pakistan for a full month to visit family and friends there. Should I tell him "I'm busy this month and next month" or should I agree to meet him and hope that he is part of the 3% of guys who don't care when a girl is fat? In 2 months time, I can lose a lot of weight. I don't want him to see me like this. I might lose him as a friend.

If he is a real friend, he is not going to matter how fat or skinny you are... Now if your intentions is to be something more than friends with him, you have to be secure with yourself, you have to know you're pretty always. If he wants to hang out that's obviously because he wants to see you and spend time with you! And if you want to lose weight go ahead! But don't do it because of some guy do it for yourself, because you want to be healthy and feel good for yourself. Good luck ;)
