First time poster, long time onlooker. I'm 21F and 5'11", and for about the past 7 years I've had a slow but steady weight gain caused by emotional eating, social drinking, and general lack of understanding about proper nutrition and health. However, I made substantial diet and exercise changes over the past 6 months that have led to a loss in weight as well as an increase in overall health and self-esteem. This summer I was about 190lb at my highest weigh in, and this week I hit 148lb.
While I am internally proud of myself for this change and am not suggesting that I should place value on the compliments of others, I find it odd that not a single one of my family members have mentioned anything about my weight loss. For some of them, I weigh 40 lbs less than the last time they saw me, and yet they haven't even slightly hinted at any recognition of something different.
Are they just being polite? Are people still really taboo about mentioning anything even remotely about women's weight changes? Am I overthinking this?
