Self-sabotage

Okay, so I have officially been on MFP since Feb. 22, 2013. So just over a month now. I have my calories set to the IPOARM and I have been doing 30DS everyday for the past 12 days. (Took one day off since I started.)
Now, there is a good chance I could have got my starting weight wrong. I found out later on that my floor is pretty uneven where I originally had the scale and would get drastic numbers just by moving the scale a few inches in any direction on the floor. But, either way, my weight is staying about the same since I found a level area. I know, scales are evil so I am not trying to take it to heart at all.
But where I am self-sabotaging myself is since starting the 30DS I have seen loss in inches in just about everywhere. This is good, I know this and even though the scale isn't moving down, I am losing inches. BUT, for some reason, this part of my brain keeps telling me, oh I got the measurements wrong. Oh you are not losing anything. I keep trudging along knowing this is a lifestyle change for me and it will take time. But another part of me is trying to sabotage it all and just say give up.
Anyone else having problems like this?
