I Still Feel Morbidly Obese

I am nearly two years post-op. I am still 50 pounds from my "ideal weight". I would like to lose another 30 pounds, even though many tell me I'm just fine where I am. I was a size 32/34 and am now a 12/14. I'm tall, so I can carry more weight than most. However, I have been really sensitive lately. I look at myself in the mirror and see all the hanging skin, even though I have had some reconstructive surgery, and wish I was more proportional and firm. By no means do I want to be skinny, nor even at my "ideal weight". I have only lost 5 pounds since October. I am wondering if this is it. I guess I can live with the excess skin, though I dream about more plastic surgery, but I would like to see those scales get within 20 lbs of my ideal weight. I admit I'm not exercising, not doing my protein or water, eating more carbs than normal, and generally feeling sorry for myself. I know it's not all about vanity, but it's important to me, so it counts.
