I have lost quite a bit of weight - over 30 pounds - since mid-July when I started Atkins and I feel really good. I am exercising vigorously, my blood work came back with excellent results, and my clothes are all loose. But every time I look in the mirror, my feelings of pride for my accomplishments disappear and all I can think is how disgusting I still am, how much farther I need to go, and dismay at how bad I let myself get in the first place. I see every ounce of fat and cannot lose fast enough and I just feel bad. I know that it is unrealistic to think like this and I try to talk myself back into feeling good about how far I've come, but then I catch a glimpse in a window or mirror and feel horrible again. Anyone else going through this self loathing, ie if I look this horrible now, how disgusting must I have been 36 pounds ago?!!!!
