Can confirm this. When I was working on reversing my fat kid status, I had vaguely considered posting a before and after once I was at my final healthy weight, but by the time I got there I didn't want meaningless praise from total strangers, or even from people I knew. Succeeding and becoming healthier was enough of a reward by itself, and being praised for something I should have done anyways just feels patronizing.  (Also I can't lie, it's really satisfying to think of the kids who were mean little shits in school looking me up, and finding out all on their own that I'm rocking life and looking better than ever. Bragging would just cheapen that imo)
