I have been so down on myself this week, I am 6 weeks before surgery...

and I have been so down on myself this week. Even though I have been over weight for the last 10 years, I feel like I have always tried to have a good outlook on life. I always try to be happy and OK with myself. I am not saying that I have ever been thrilled with my weight, I of course have done every diet and really tried to lose over the years, to only regain. Now that I have a date and I know that I WILL LOSE and keep it off, I feel terrible about myself. I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror, and every article of clothing that I own seems to bother me in some way. I get dresses and think that I look bad, or that the clothes are too tight and so on. I know that some of this is due to the fact that I am so focused on my weight and my self image right now, but am I letting this go over board? Has anyone else experienced these kinds of feeling?
