I hate the way people look at me when I lose weight

I've constantly gone back and forth between being fit and obese throughout my life. I turned 26 this month. I don't want to keep oscillating. I do want to be healthy and look well, but I keep sabotaging myself.

It seems that as soon as other people start noticing my weight loss I start getting really uncomfortable. I notice the way men gawk at me at the supermarket and how their wives glare toward me as if I should be punished. The people close to me will poke and pinch my stomach and say things that are meant to be taken well, but I end up being offended. I often wish they would just not say anything even if they're happy about my weight loss.

I think I start stress eating because I don't know how to process the attention. I feel vulnerable and like a piece of meat that attracts people with ulterior motives. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'd really appreciate some advice.
