How can I avoid this in the future?

I've recently started a weight loss journey as I'm tired of being the fat girl. Earlier this week I was at the local gym to workout when I noticed some guys were making fun of me because of my weight and it felt pretty bad. It made me feel a bit anxious about going back to the gym. How can I avoid a situation like this in the future?

Wow. Some guys are such losers.
How sad to make someone feel self conscious about working on self improvement.

I'm proud of you for pushing yourself. Keep it up. All it takes is focus and perseverance.

I went through something similar when I was 34. I had gained weight over 5 or 6 years due to a job and change in lifestyle. I went on Weight Watchers and started working out and walking at least a mile or two a day.
I got back in shape and looked really good again. I started dating again and had a couple of amazing girlfriends. Then I met my future wife when I was 40.

tell the owner of the gym they will do something as they want your money too

Go to women only sessions if possible. Being with men in a gym is often very awkward and toxic.

I'll see if I can find any place like that. Thanks 😊

Go to planet, fitness they thrive on a no judgment zone and even have it written all over the walls

Keep going to the gym, eventually they will start looking for another reason, remember the ones that were nice and the ones that made fun. Do not give up, you got this
