I was almost 20 stone at my highest when I went into school and surprisingly I didn't get a single one of the fat/whale/whatever jokes or comments that I expected. They may well have been said behind my back, who know, but it's only the things said to my face that upset me! I'm in school now for 4 weeks and then go back at the end of April for another 8 weeks. Could be so different if I stay on track!
