Keen to lose weight, but terrified of people noticing

I've been bigger than I've wanted to be for all my life, and it's caused self esteem issues and affected the way I dress and act and hold myself. I really want to lose it, and I know that I can do it. I'm a relatively healthy person, I love vegetables, I'm active etc. I just use binge eating as a coping mechanism sometimes, something I know I've got to work on.

One major thing that's holding me back are comments like "You've lost weight, you look good". I don't know what it is, but I just hate the thought of people noticing my weight. I hate the thought that people might comment on how I look once I've lost the weight and dress more confidently. It's almost as if these people are admitting I looked bad before the weight is lost. I know this is totally irrational and whack, I need to work out a way to deal with this.

Has anyone else feared anything similar? How do you handle comments like that?
