How to deal with discouragement from family members?

Hey guys, sorry for any mistakes I might make - English is not my native language and my phone keeps correcting the text into Czech.

How do you deal with family members having snarky remarks regarding your weightloss? I’m down almost 40kg from my highest weight and only 2 people from my family I can talk about me counting calories are my mother and sister. Other family members said that they can see I lost some weight but right after that they say that I’ve lost enough already. Also I got a comment from my grandmother who said that I must be mentally exhausted from the weightloss and I should take a break from it.

I don’t know I feel like they want me to fail and stay obese. I don’t mention anything regarding how much I eat or how much I’ve lost so far but they keep having these comments any time I say I don’t want anything to eat or drink from them. I heard my grandfather talking to my cousin saying “yeah, she walks to work because she wants to lose weight” with a mocking kind of voice. These are the people who kept telling me how fat and ugly I am my whole life and I was given numerous advice by them eventhough them being obese as well and not listening to advice from their doctors.

Also I don’t think they are scared that I might be losing it too quickly or too much. I have to lose about 40kg more until I am at the high end of “healthy” BMI and I’m losing about 1kg per week which is about 1% of my weight.
