Actually, I love hiking :-D I belong to a Meetup hiking group, I'm looking forward to getting out and meeting new people... yes mentally I know that not all skinny people are mean, it's just I'm having trouble convincing myself deep down... I am still going to the gym, trying to deal with the feelings I posted... some days it's easier than others. I just wish it were easier to feel comfortable there. Anyway thanks for your post

Do you like to listen to music or other stuff you could download into an ipod? If you don't want to do this alone have you looked to see if there are any MeetUp groups that are similar age and fitness level that would like to join you?
Other people and their opinions need not have any traction with you. You are doing amazingly well so celebrate that, not some past perceptions that don't really have anything to do with who you are now...and p.s. I am the nicest person in the world and "just right", like you. Mean people do suck, but they aren't all skinny, just sayin'
Best to you! I wish you were here so you could hike my hills with me
