Can you argue with me or relate?

I can relate. I thought "uugh" when looking at my reflection even at my lower weights. These days, I just try not to think about it so much. Or I admire my butt. I have a weirdly compliant butt, so if I workout it looks/feels better. Perhaps you can find some part of your body that improves quickly with exercise and focus on that. Don't give up, no matter what happens. Progress is progress. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." etc.

I can totally relate. It is hard to look in the mirror and see someone you don't want to recognize. And it is really hard how slowly the weight loss process can go. Sometimes I lose a lb and expect to look totally different because of all the effort losing that lb involved. The key is to find things that make you happy during the process and motivate you to continue it. Here are some things that work for me:
Even if you don't plan to stay the size you are, make sure you have a few really cute stylish things to wear in whatever size you are. Wearing cute clothes that fit is a total mood booster. And do the whole outfit--wear jewelry (again buy some eye-catching fun pieces), wear makeup, do your hair (get a haircut regularly). Get mani/pedis. Floss, moisturize. All of these will make you feel more worthy.
Make working out fun. I have bought a bunch of exercise class groupons over the past year and get friends to sign up too. Trying something new and fun with a friend is exciting and having a buddy makes it easier to go. For things I do alone, like running or riding my bike, I made a great playlist which I regularly add to. It totally motivates me to have great music. Again, I recommend getting some cute workout clothes. Dressing like you are an athlete is more motivating than slumping around is ratty old tshirts and stretched out shorts.
Posture: stand up straight and tall sucking your gut in at all times. Walk fast and with purpose. Take the stairs because your legs are strong and you can. (If you can't, make it a goal.)
Eventally the lbs will fall off and you will start to see muscle defintiion. Just keep at it! Good luck!!
