Body Image Issues

I feel like I'm beginning to develop some body image issues, partly from this weight loss journey and focusing on calories or portion control so much. I want to stop this before it gets worse. Sometimes I have good days and I'm like, I love my booty! But last night I noticed how big my thighs are and felt low again. I'm currently in the healthy weight zone (5'1", 120 lb) and I lost about 10 lbs after starting with MFP, but I feel like my bottom is large, even though my jeans are fitting looser. It doesn't help that during exams I exercised less and ate some more snacky foods, so I can't even feel like I'm doing a great job regardless of size.

I think I'm just looking for support/advice. I don't want to develop more body image issues on my journey to health.
