Thanks for your reply. It makes me feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one.
(And thanks for mentioning "instant gratification", I learned about it in psychology, but couldn't remember the term.)

I do get how looking at smaller goals may be helpful (like aiming for 10lbs loss at a time, rather than 40lbs), but the problem I find with that is with a 10lb loss, I won't be noticably thinner to myself or anyone I see often (the same with gaining) and would only make me feel disappointed.

I don't know. I guess there are pros and cons to every way of looking at it.
