How to love (or even like) yourself during weight loss?

Hello!

I've been in the process of losing weight (then gaining some back, then losing it again) for quite a while now. My progress has been good, but I can't help but feel tormented by my own self hatred; especially during periods of re-gain. I despise the way I look. I look at photos of me at lower weights and despair. Whenever I pass by a mirror I always just squeeze my eyes shut and think "you'll look better x months from now..."

I don't want to hate myself into a better version of myself. I want to BE a better version of myself, but I want to like me as I am now while I get there. I think I would be healthier in general if I could see myself in a more positive light... but I don't know how. My mind is constantly occupied with my appearance and how much I hate it. I want so much to feel beautiful. But at this point, I think there's more to the problem than just needing to lose the weight.
