How do you deal with bullying and negative self talk? Weight loss stumped

Hello,

I have been trying to lose weight and was doing very well. I went from 240lbs (5'2 F) to 200lbs. That is until I moved back to my hometown due to the pandemic. I have since then gained 10 lbs. See I was bullied a lot from k-12 and when I initially started gaining weight I would run around my block to help combat this. However those around me weren't kind at all. They would laugh or mock me. One time one individual came up to me and said "look at you...look at me... you will never be fit, you'll never be pretty and you will never be good enough" he then spit and walked away. Another time a group of classmates mocked me for exercising "Your not in any sports, why are you trying?".

Soon after I went to College and started to drop tons of weight! But now that I am back and try to do my routine all I hear is negative self talk "they are right/ look how disgusting your body is/ etc" and I am also frightened that something like that will happen to me again, infact I have gotten scared of exercising outside, which was something I loved doing and I don't want to lose that habit. In college I would take 2 hour walks every evening and was starting to lift weights regularly!

For those of you who dealt with bullying and negative self talk, how did you manage to drown it out so it wouldn't get in the way of your weight loss? How did you move past this stump? I'm tired of letting the negative voices getting in my way but there are days were their so loud I just feel so down.

Thank you.
