Hard to be proud of myself

I want to be proud of myself. I've lost 30 pounds (285 to 254) since May. My goal is 200 by the time I graduate college in December of 2022.

I am back to a weight that I haven't been at since my freshman year of college. (I was 240 in July 2018 after I graduated highschool and went up to 284 by June of 2019)

But it's hard to proud of myself and allow myself to celebrate when I still have so far to go. When I walk around, people still just see a fat guy. They don't know how hard this journey has been and how much progress I've made.

I'm in this weird space where I get uncomfortable when my family or friends talk about my body but I still really desire the validation and acknowledgement that I am putting in the work.

It seems silly and I get that really wanting others to notice my progress is maybe not a super healthy way to look at this journey, but it still sucks. How do I deal with this?
