My guess is that the mannequins just show you how fats see themselves (with normal bodies, just larger), even though it's pretty far removed from the reality. When fats say thin or healthy bodies are unrealistic, they're just lying to themselves to feed their denial and make themselves feel better.

Bonus advice: look into active/sporty clubs (rock-climbing comes to mind) or sign up for some intramurals at your college. Meeting new people in college can be intimidating, but you just have to put yourself out there.
