How does how much you weigh or how your body looks affect your feelings for yourself?

When I'm on plan and not gaining weight, I feel good that I'm taking care of myself, when I'm not on plan and gaining weight I feel frustrated with myself that I can't seem to change my behavior. When I was heavy, I don't think I felt bad about myself. I felt mostly helpless about my weight and frustrated that I couldn't seem to do anything about it.

There is a definite correlation between exercising, feeling strong/fit and feeling good for me. I tend to eat better when I exercise and I feel better when I exercise. So it is a good sort of spiral. However, the reverse also works and I'm in one of them right now - when I don't feel good and can't exercise enough, I eat worse and then I feel worse and I don't feel strong and that makes me feel bad and I eat worse.
I am trying to break out of the spiral by focusing on eating salads for meals and trying to even keep the snacks relatively healthy. I can't fix how I feel right now until or unless the PT starts taking effect and I won't even start that for 2 weeks. Doing some yard work is beneficial although it exhausts me because it is exercise - walking, bending, lifting, stretching, etc. The only thing I can fix right now is the eating so I'm trying to focus on that.

Too much. But it does keep me on track.
