You're right to be proud, and should be. You already look so much more comfortable in your skin! But, 'member, those women probably were commenting less on your success and discipline than on their real disappointment in themselves--the only way they can explain to themselves in a satisfying way that they didn't do what you've done is to make what you've done aberrant instead of just reasonably disciplined.
They're the same type of people who have uncontrolled children and pets because they don't have the backbone to be consistent in child rearing and animal care. What kills them is that on some know the failure is in themselves. They were rationalizing, not attacking. Of course, they could be stone cold bitches with a deep seated need to destroy anything noble--I just choose to think they're flawed, not EVIL!
