Well that's lousey that no one noticed the difference in your looks and the massive effort you put in to reach your goal. At one point in my life, I dropped around 45 pounds. Everyone at work noticed, and there were a few who thought I should stop (at a comfortable point in "their mind" . . .

). I had 10 pounds more to lose at that point. Between my doctor and myself, that would bring me to a proper weight for my height, etc. I even told them I was under a doctor's supervision on this.
Yet, even with that, there were some that couldn't deal with accepting my new look (believe me, I wasn't skinny--never was in my life . . . ). It got to the point where I was actually telling people to back off and that my doctor knew better than they did. I don't know, sometimes, if it was a jealousy thing on their part or what, but they got on my nerves. Thankfully, most people were very supportive, asked me for diet tips (I told them to just eat smaller portions, cut way down on sweets, etc.).
