I am sorry that your parents didn't acknowledge your fantastic achievement. Thats what it is. My mother never used to comment on anything. If any of us achieved anything should would say your father is very proud. When Dad died and various things happened like me getting promoted and having kids, my sis getting married and my other sis releasing a cd she kept trotting out .............your father would be very proud. SO one day I blew my cool and siad and what about you......ARE YOU NOT PROUD
her reply was - sure I am your mother - its a given that I am proud ...... so I said - actually its not............I need to hear it......
Since then she says it. Maybe when you get to goal weight you can challenge your parents about it.
I think you are doing a marvellous job. WELL DONE YOU !!!
