Is this a sign I’m no longer fat?

I’m 5’4 and have gone from ~210 to 150 in under two years. I’ve gone from a size 12-14 to a size 6-8. However, nobody has commented on my weight loss unprompted except for my parents. I had to ask my best friend recently if it was noticeable that I’ve lost some weight and they finally told me that they could tell and even could recall the specific moment they perceived it, when I wore a dress I used to wear and it fit me differently. But other than that, I’m surrounded by people who definitely know it isn’t polite to point something like that out unprompted and won’t. Which I appreciate, but also wish maybe happened so I know my progress is noticed.

Part of the reason that I’ve been moved to lose weight is because I work in an “industry” where maintaining a pleasant and professional appearance actually matter significantly. I’ve been with my same team since I was at my highest weight and we are all a bit food obsessed and particular about what we consume, which translates into office lunch usually being a topic of conversation as we have limited options available to us to purchase from.

The lowest hanging fruit but reliable option is always chicken tenders and fries, but we all rarely get it and have coined it as « doing the bad thing » when any of us do get chicken tenders or both. One day, I caved and got the chicken tenders and fries and essentially, the senior vp of our team walks by me, does a double take, and teases me egregiously for getting it. This does not stop, for the whole week, he finds a way to make a dig that nothing is as unhealthy as my chicken tenders and still will reference it to this day.

I feel like if I was still a fat girl, it wouldn’t be as easy to joke around like that with me because it may have been too on the nose, but I guess maybe now, I don’t look like someone who indulges everyday? What’s crazy is that that was my second time getting the tenders and I never got them before I really committed to losing weight. I’ve just now learned how to balance treating myself and budgeting for indulgences when I need them.

Maybe I’m overthinking this or searching for more signs that I have in fact lost a perceivable amount of weight because it matters a lot to me.
