Never happy with the results

Hi everyone, I have a question I've really been struggling with. I started at a weight of 135, thinking I would be so happy once I reached 125 since I've never weighed that little in my life. Once I finally reached the goal I felt as though I still had a bit of extra weight to lose, or toning up to do and aimed for 120. Now that i'm about 120, I still don't feel like i'm happy with my results. I don't want to weigh any less, but I don't feel as good as I imaged I would at 120.
Has anyone else had this issue through their weight loss no matter how big or small? How did you over come the problem and become satisfied with your results, because I know I should be more than happy with where i'm at and what I've accomplished (Although its not as large of numbers as some other people on here, everyone should be pleased with living a healthy life style and seeing changes)
Thanks for all your help :)

    Yep. Started at 140 wanted to be 130.. hated the way I looked so went down to 125, then 121. I felt like I still didn't look as good as I thought I would. I started heavy lifting and haven't looked back. I weigh around 125 now, but I look better at this weight than I did at 121.

    I've realised that number on the scale is not always what you need to pay attention to. I go to the gym and do cardio and weight training every day, but I think maybe i'll start focusing on weight training more than cardio now! Thanks for your advice :)

    I lost 60 pounds, and have gone 20 pounds below my original goal weight. I still hate the way I look. I realize now it's all about lowering body fat, not how much I weigh. So heavy lifting it is!!

    Looks like heavy lifting is the way to go! Thanks for your input :)
