Self Esteem Worse as You Lose Weight?

So, okay, my self-esteem is in the toilet. Only in regards to my looks; other areas of life I am very confident in. I HAD good self esteem - before I realized I was FAT. So, I lost some (a lot) of weight, and am halfway to my goal. All of a sudden, I've come to a screeching halt, and I think it has to do with self-esteem. Like, I just didn't realized (didn't let myself acknowledge) how large I was before, and now I am SO painfully aware of it it kills me. Has this happened to anyone else???

I know I should be building my SE, but truly, when I look in the mirror, I don't see any reason to. I'm not pretty, my body is strechy and lumpy, and everything else is so gross. I am single, and hate it, and know that no one would want to be with me looking OR feeling how I do. It feels like such a round about problem, I'm fat because my SE is low, my SE is low cause I am fat. Ahhhhh!

Does anyone know of any techniques, sites, books, etc that teach you how to build this? There are lots on the internet and library of course, but I'd like to get some first hand recommendations. I'm hoping to find something that isn't TOO corny. Thank you!
