Is anyone else feeling more self-conscious as they lose weight?

I've started to actually feel a lot more self-conscious and less confident about my body as I lose weight.

I think its because at my highest weight, I literally never acknowledged or processed how I looked. I wouldn't look directly at myself in the mirror, I would avoid all pictures, I'd just wear massive baggy clothes and do my best to never think about myself.

I've now lost 50lbs, all my old clothes are getting looser. I've had to get rid of some of my baggier clothes, and had to buy smaller ones. Surely I should feel confident and proud and amazing? Nope!

Now I'm actually looking at myself more, analysing my flaws, agonising over outfits more. I feel both better and worse at the same time!

Anyone else had this?
