Am I crazy?

I've lost a total of 60LBS from my heaviest weight and I feel more self conscious about my body now than I ever did when I was heavier.
I'm doing NROL4W and I have seen good changes in my body, but the "fitter" i get the more inadequate I feel. Is that normal? It's not that I even feel motivated it's more like I'm not good enough. I don't know. I'm fitter than most people in my daily life but I see all these fitspos on line, etc and it doesn't feel good enough.
I feel like maybe I should use that for fuel/motivation but at the same time it feels like a psychological issue. Like why can't I be happy with a healthy BMI, you know?
has anyone else experienced this as well?

No, you're not crazy at all. I think a lot of people feel that way. I certainly do sometimes. Those fitspiration pictures are sometimes less than motivational. There is a wonderful thread on here, where the members have made their own. It is awesome and in 3 parts already:
