Wow, you have really transformed yourself! You look positively fabulous! And for someone who is 5' 7", you look just tiny! I would never guess the person in the before pictures was you; you look like a completely different person--younger, happier, more confident, and so much thinner!
You absolutely should be proud of what you've accomplished. You must have cleaned up your diet a LOT to lose 79 lbs, especially in less than a year; that takes a lot of hard work. Try not to let your mother's jealousy get you down; sometimes there's just nothing we can do about our parents.
