Romantic Reunion?
Here's a hypothetical situation for you:
Let's say you dated someone about...oh...eight or nine years ago. You were together about a year. It was never really serious. There was a certain "deal-breaker" reason that the two of you could not have a long term future together. But you got along great, he treated you really well. The chemistry was phenomenal. And he was incredibly great looking. Then you moved away.
Fast forward to now. It just so happens you have to go to his home city for a business trip. He is still single. So are you. He knows you are coming to town and would LOVE to get together for dinner. You've seen recent pictures of this man- he is even hotter now than he was then.
You are hesitant to accept the invitation. Why? Because you are eight years older, twenty pounds heavier (or maybe ten now that you're losing weight) and fifty years wiser. Do you decline the invitation so the former lover can keep his younger, sexier memory of you...or do you take a risk, say yes, and see if any sparks fly?
Just curious.
Hypothetically, of course.

You absolutely MUST see him. Remember both of you have aged the same number of years -- no one gets a free ride on age. I think this sounds incredibly romantic and something meant to be. What does either one of you really have to lose? Go for it!
You'd skip it because of 20lbs? Feh. Go! Have fun. Report back. ;)
I would never, ever be able to resist saying YES YES YES. I hope you hook up, and also hope you'll write something about the experience.
What a gift! Wow!!
I would go for it (as long as you want to, of course). Who cares if his impression of you is altered if it doesn't work out? It's not like you'll ever know (or hopefully, care) about it. And who knows what might happen? :)
We women are such romantics, aren't we? :)
There really is nooo chance of this being anything other than an interesting rendezvous. Only moments of insecurity get in the way. And at the moment, I'm feeling fabulous enough to say- yeah! Bring it on!!!!
Sparks can't fly if you don't take a risk.
I say go for it. Keep expectations to a minimum but go for it. That's my MO. And 20lbs? Pth.. Please. He wouldn't even notice. Especially because he's probably gained 40.
Do it, Do it, Do it!!! Take the risk- it'll be worth it. After all,don't they always say that you regret things that you didn't do, not things that you did.
And if the chemistry was that phenomenal, it wasn't because you were 20 lbs. lighter.
Having said that, I did the same thing and got into a whirlwind, head-over-heels in love,unbelievable affair. It was fabulous. Then he shattered my heart in a billion pieces. I miss him, I cry, I'll get over him probably never. But, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
And by all means, keep us posted!
