YOU THINK I'D BE MORE EXCITED

I have lost 65 pounds since January.  Awesome, right?  Yes. it is a significant loss, yet I am not as exceited as I thought I would be.  I love the band and could not have lost this weight without it. I just feel like, holy shit, I lost 65 pounds and I am STILL overweight.  I STILL need to think about the weight constantly.  How did I ever get this heavy?  Why did I let myself go like this?  I should be happy & I'm not.  It's such an uphill battle & I want to be at the finish line already.  I am not happy with my body or my looks and yet I know I have improved by leaps & bounds in those areas.  I still see a fat person when I look in the mirror.  My belly still looks big to me.  How can that be after losing this much weight?  I should feel good about myself & 80% of the time I do.  But there is that 20% that really hits me hard & makes me feel like I am not ever going to be thin & beautiful.  Sorry, just having one of those days...
