Rose,
I've found that healing my emotional issues has helped a lot to accept myself at whatever weight I am. I did a lot of journaling about my feelings about weight loss and discovered, I felt like I didn't "deserve" to lose the weight. I also had a lot of fear about losing weight because when I lost the weight I got more attention.
I think you need to go deeply inside yourself, weight loss isn't just physical work. As far as losing the weight and still feeling fat, my experience has been it takes a while for my brain to catch up with what I see in the mirror. I still get a shock when I look in the mirror and see a "thinner" person. ( I haven't quite reached my weight loss goals - but I'm almost there)
Hope this helps.
