I'm tired just reading it...but the "pulled a Xerxys" made me laugh.
OK, even when I was chubby, I wasn't exactly what you would call ugly. The extra weight gave me more ass to work with, certainly, and I worked it. I think using what you've got is the critical piece here. It isn't just a matter of confidence. It's a matter of recognizing what you have that works, and making it work for you, drawing attention to it. Hell, I used to be quite the dude magnet before I shacked up with my man. I could go out to the bars and talk any number of poor suckers into buying me double Bombay Sapphire martinis.
Personally, I'm just as likely to listen to you, whether or not you're attractive. I work with a lot of different kinds of folks. Some of them are damn ugly on the outside, but pretty on the inside. And that's why I'm likely to listen. I want to know if you're pretty on the inside
