Wow, that's strange. I've always had issues with making friends no matter what my weight was. It could be that some people are shallow, or are you actually more confident when you weigh less?
The confidence thing could be affecting how you come across to other people. If that's not the case, then I hate to say this, but there are some people out there who do discriminate against overweight people. I think that it's stupid, but that's just the way that some people are unfortunately-
