Has any one been obesessing about their body after WLS?

I feel really weird posting this but I need some feed back. You guys probably will guess my identity once you hear my problem/concern. I am about 5 months post op and lost 56 lbs. I am a size 16/18 now and I wanna lose more weight. I have been going through some weird stuff lately and I wanna know if anyone is going through the same thing. Some may call it "self destruction" or "self mutilation" I have been obsessing on my looks. It started out small, mirror gazing, getting my nails done, buying new clothes, plucking my eyebrows and eventually ending up more extreme, 3 body piercings and I am now considering a tattoo. I regret the last piercing not because of the pain, but because I realized that the obsession is overpowering me and I am losing control. I know that I should probably seek conseling before it gets worse. Has anyone gone through the same? Is it just a phase? Any consequences on your actions? Thanks in advance.
