Help - I sabotage myself when people comment on my weight loss

Stats: F/26/5’11’’/SW238/CW222

Background: I’ve had chronic back pain for a good portion of my life and after a scan a few years ago showed that the bottom of my spine was not properly aligned and there was almost no muscle to support it, I’ve been working out once a week with a personal trainer who specialises in back injuries which has largely solved the issue. I have also started eating more healthily and through this combination have lost about 15lbs and gone down a few dress sizes. Weight has especially come off my stomach, and recently more people I work with have been noticing the change.

Like a lot of people who have been overweight for a lot of their life, I feel massively uncomfortable with people commenting on my appearance. With my weight loss I have found that when people compliment me or comment on it I find myself binge eating or going out of my way to get an unhealthy lunch/snack - almost as a way to prove them wrong.

Question: I don’t want to sabotage my efforts - how do I keep going and cope with the loss of my fat person invisibility cloak? Does anyone else do this?
