The one way in which you can be a good role model to your daughters is to make sure that they develop a more healthy body image than you have at the moment. It is important to acknowledge and celebrate the small successes, not continue to hate yourself until all of a sudden one day when the scales are saying the right thing - you can decide that you are thin - and that perhaps you deserve your self-love now. So perhaps the way to look at it isn't whether or not you are thin, but whether or not you are thinner. One denotes an end result, the other is all about the journey.
