That's horrible. It's terrible that people treated you like that, it doesn't matter how thick-skinned someone may actually be, nobody WANTS to be overweight.

No one has ever made fun of my weight, but when I go into clothes shops I won't try anything on, and I don't wear nice clothes and so on. I don't feel like I deserve to. I feel like if I TRY to look nice, people will take one look at me and think, 'ugh, why is she even bothering? State of her'.

Thank you for your kinds words. I really appreciate it, and like I said in my thread, the more confidence people have in me, the more I feel like I can't let them down. That sounds shallow, but it's the motivation I need to work towards something I know in my heart that I want to do.
