Amazing transformation I can see it even though you have more clothes on in the "after" shots! You are a knock-out! For the psycho-analysis, don't force it too hard. That kind of conditioning happened over many years so don't expect it to resolve over night. But that's just another way of Saying what DebraJo already did.
Did you check out the link to that show I posted? The one episode I managed to catch had the girl looking in the mirror and telling her reflection she was beautiful and she loved her (but the emphasis was on really meaning it).
The other thing they did, and you might want to try this, is to take some sexy boudoir photos. They were classy and tasteful and alluring. Have that done and you can't help but see yourself as a desireable woman...
Just a thought...
So buffy...I like the more clothing thing. When I was heavier I felt like I needed to show the assets to feel sexy...now I feel that I just need to be me and the rest will fall into place. Not to mention, I live in Maine, it is winter, and the average temp is less than 20 degrees, lol. Maybe with a tan this summer I will have better, less dressed after shots, haha. I actually looked at the website last night...haven't digested it enough to have an opinion yet. I will take sexy photos when I feel that way, otherwise to me it is almost like a facade, if that makes sense. Thanks for being such a great support!!! 
I see we have a differene when it comes to the clothing thing. For me clothes are my personal protection. I feel safe hiding in big oversized tops with leggings under them. Heck, if I could manage my day from inside a pototo sack I'd give it a go.
Going to FL in the summer was an internal struggle for me. Going to a beach in a bathing suit at my size? Forget it! I've been avoiding that for years. But darn it, it's hot in FL in the summer... long sleeves were unbearable (I tried though). I realized pretty quickly that I had to suck it up and wear summer dresses. That was my compromise, I wouldn't do shorts & a tank top because of my middle section and butt/thighs. The sundresses were close enough to big t-shirts in that they hid a lot of the parts that I was embarrassed over. Only they revealed my arms (hate those too)..
And of course being in FL I couldn't avoid the beach either. Had a freind fly down from NY to visit me for a month while I was down there and she was a total beach bunny... I just kept telling myself it was ok, because the people seeing me didn't know who I was and I was never going to see them again. You won't catch me near a beach back at home until I reach my goal. *lol*
I'm safely back home in winter time on a college campus where wearing my comfort clothes fits in perfectly with my environment. I'll keep working on the body that's hiding underneath and hopefully by the time it warms up in this region, I'll be at a point where wearing more revealing attire doesn't make me freeze up like a dear in the headlights.
..ETC.
