I don't have any helpful words or advice, I'm also interested in hearing what people have to say on this subject...I know that my mood varies greatly from day to day...some days I'm feeling great and proud of the weight I've lost, and others it feels like I haven't lost hardly anything, and I'm afraid I'll never stop feeling fat. One book I can recommend that has helped me with this is Geneen Roth's "Feeding the Hungry Heart". Actually any of her books are good, I've read 3 or 4 of them. The stories really hit home for me.
