Worried about being fat at uni?

I know this is vain, but I went to an open day and everyone is skinny; I think I was the fattest person there. I know I can loose weight, but I'm kind of concerned that I won't fit in there because of it.

Should I be?

It depends where you're going.
I was in halls in 8-person flats and it was fine, everyone was really nice anyway and we had no issues with food theft so there were no assumptions that I was behind anything! I'm living with mostly the same people this year and they're incredibly supportive of me trying to lose weight now!
The only time I really feel self-conscious is in lectures if people have to get out of the row, because in some theatres it's really tight even if you're skinny! But essentially, it shouldn't be an issue to find friends who don't care, and most people are past the bullying phase and just won't care either!

The answer is simple. Yes - people will call you Fatty and hide their food away from your greedy chops...

I'm not the sort of person who is easily bullied lol, tough 'urban' school lmao I know this sounds horrible, but I don't really eat like a 'fatty'

You'll be fine then. Obviously losing weight is the best option because it's healthy AND will make you feel better, but if you can take the occasional weight-related insult there's really nothing to worry about.

Hanging about with the "lad" groups might get you offended more often as people comment on how all the fat girls are such sluts because they're desperate to get laid or something similar, but if you're not into that sort of thing it doesn't matter at all, and if you are, you just laugh along or ignore it!

As for not eating like a "fatty", try to keep that up at Uni. It's so easy to eat badly - my housemates are still terrible after 2 years!

I'm a lad btw, I dunno, I'm just concerned haha.

If you're that insecure you shouldn't be going to Uni because all your insecurities will get highlighted and you will drive your self crazy.
In stead in working on your body how about working on being happy with who you are.

This attempt to be funny is pathetic. You could have chosen so many different pathways and still achieved a greater standard of humour.
-Must try better-

Naa, it was amusing.

Just to be clear, my weight isn't the only thing wrong with me- I have many other flaws. Such as my teeth aren't the right shade of white. If I worried about all of these things constantly I wouldn't leave the house. Not doing isn't an option, 'carpe diem' and all that crap. I wouldn't say I'm insecure, but I would say I'm mindful of my faults. But ultimately, I'm happy in myself.

It's just when there's a load of skinny bitches around to remind me how fat I am that I have slight insecurity lol.

Why should a guy be so worried about how fat he is when he is in a room full of "skinny bitches"? Are you competing with the skinny bitches or something? IOW are you gay?

No, not gay.
And I use the term bitch to characterize everyone. Not just women.
