OT: Afraid to Look Good?

I will explain myself as best I can but know some may not be able to grasp what I'm going through.

I have worked my butt off to lose weight by exercising and eating right. I've been able to go from size 12 jeans to size 6 jeans. Overall, I feel great. Yes I still have the trouble spots I'd love to get rid of and all but am happy as is and can deal w/ those. I have a problem with going out in public "looking good" however. I can get ready at home and feel confident and feel pretty and all but once I get out of the house, my right foot becomes my second left leg! I get super self-concious and akward.

It's like deep down inside I know and feel I dont look bad and in fact would consider myself attractive and I do want to look and feel this way but I dont want to get any of the attention that comes with that. When people look at me, it intimidates me and it bothers me. Is this normal? Does/has anyone gone through something similar?

I'd really like to shake this off SOON! With spring and warm weather around the corner, I'm actually devastated I wont be able to wear a coat or sweater to "hide" in much longer . . . .

Thanks for reading and for any support/comment you are able to give on this issue.
