Interesting article Pat.  I know that I cringe whenever anyone asks me how much I have lost, and sometimes I say less than I actually have just because I don't want to divulge what my original weight was.

I find since I am at goal I keep judging myself against other people I see. Did I lose enough weight, Am I thin enough? I am trying to focus on the fact I am so much healthier

How true! It doesn't seem to matter what my weight is, I always seem to feel bad about it. Either I feel shame  because I am overweight or feel guilty because I'm thinner. I also try to focus on how much healthier I am without the weight but it is harder. People understand numbers - you weighed this, now you weigh this. I like the author of the article judge people based on externals. Not something I am proud of, but there it is! Perhaps part of the solution is to admit you have the problem....
