Still stuck...

And not stuck how some of you might be thinking. I'm actually thankfully still moving in the right direction with the weight. It's my brain that's having troubles. I'm feeling thinner, fitting into things better and have actually dropped almost 17 lbs. I should be doing back flips...in my mind at least.
But no, not me. I'm stuck on the fact that perfect strangers (who shouldn't matter in the slightest) are still going to see a fat person when they look at me. I'm still about 20 lbs over weight and I know that there are people on here that would love to be that close and I should be happy that I'm getting there...and I am...just not as happy as I thought I would be today. Crappy body image sucks, and I'm worried it wont improve even once the scale says I hit my goal.
