I'm not actually wading into this discussion as while I have some interest in it I lack the persistence and patience that some have and would inevitably tire of going in circles...I just wanted to make a fat guy joke (but i really do want one! damn skinny/fit people).

As a fit person when I see a fat guy at the gym the looks I am giving are inadvertently positive. I think hell yeah dude, way to be the minority and actually do something proactive. The more out of shape someone the more awsome it is when they muster the courage to get in the gym.
I'd wager very few people actually have negative judgement of you and a lot of it is in your head. Not to say your reactions are unwarranted or misplaced, just that it's possible your anxiety is skewing your interpretation. Friend of mine before I knew him got new shoes and I walked up and complimented his new shoes when we were in the gym and he was so anxiety ridden he ran off nearly crying thinking I was making fun of him. Anyways /soapbox speech
