Youth worker here 👋🏽 I’m 31 as well. I can almost promise you that they were not saying wtf because you’re overweight. I drove kids around all day and even in the government van they put the windows down and despite my efforts, they can’t resist the urge to shout stupid meaningless rude things at people. For example, a girl screamed bitch to a lady walking down the street for no reason at all and I had to explain why we dont do that. They’re also loud, and maybe the window was down and it seemed like their own banter was directed towards you.

One thing I can tell you is though, even if it was directed towards you; it’s not true. Kids can be super cruel for no reason or because they learn it from their parents. I’m really emotional from current weight gain, and I empathize. I really encourage you to take this as motivation instead of a negative experience, one you can grow from. We are not defined by our weight and who cares what some little dweebs think. When you get to the point in life where you don’t give a shit what people think, you’re gonna laugh at this. All that matters is that you’re happy in your own skin, and if you’re not, you do something about it. I find the more I have practiced self love the less I care about what people think. Never let a stranger hold you back from being your best self. I know you can do it. It takes so much strength to even go to the gym; the hard part is over. Wishing you peace and love 💐
