    I was knocked down by a reversing car 2 years ago and did a lot of damage to my knee, as a result i had to take 2 months off work, do a lot of physical therapy and generally give up a lot of sports etc, so I have put on nearly 2 stone since then. Recently I noticed some sniggers from people in work, people who normally I would find quite nice I now think they can be nasty behind my back. Another part of me is thinking they probably just dont want to say it to my face and are being discreet. I have recently lost half a stone as a result of a low impact exercise programme and cleaning up my diet but I cant shake the feeling that people are laughing at my weight when Im not there. My head is in bits over this because a lot of the people involved i would call decent people and i have a laugh with them but the second I am going through a hard time it seems im the figure of fun.

    Am i being too sensitive, should I just ditch them as mates and move on or is it even worth worrying, any opinions?

    Thats human nature everyone is talking about everyone that's what makes up most of the conversations around here anyway You have no control over what people are talking about and they will soon move on and talk about someone else, you should not take any notice of them and move on and buy something nice for yourself out of the compo you will receive and give them something to talk about for a while.

    OP, do you know for certain that the sniggers were about you? Or is this you over-thinking things and jumping to the worst possible conclusion?

    If you've found them nice before, is there any reason for them to turn nasty now?

    Well done on making the positive changes to your life. If people were laughing at you that's obviously horrible but they're awful people and not worth a second thought. But you may have nothing to worry about and those laughs could have had nothing to do with you and maybe you just heard them on a day you were feeling a bit down or over-sensitive.
