A Revision to a Goal

So I've come to the point where I've attained the goal weight I originally set out to reach back when I first started dieting 9 months ago.  I set that goal originally thinking it would be a stretch to ever reach it, thinking that I would look pretty darn good if I did reach it.
Now that I'm here, I'm not satisfied with the outcome. I don't look like what I thought I would look like at this weight, and to be honest, it's sort of depressing.  I guess it should be a motivation to just keep going, because I'm no where near where I want to be when it comes to my physique.
I'm down 24 pounds and it's still not enough.
Have things improved? Well, of course they have.  My clothing fits better and I've definitely come a long way in my abilities as a runner.
I still look in the mirror and I'm not satisfied with what I see.  
Most people do not notice the weight loss, or if they do they don't say anything to me.
To be perfectly honest, I don't really notice that much change.
It's comical to me now; I seriously thought 24 pounds would be enough when I was so overweight?  Why did I think that would enough? lolz.
So now comes the hard part, setting a new weight loss goal.  I'm thinking it's going to be harder now because I've been hovering around this same weight for the last few weeks.  I don't know if 12 pounds will even make a difference in my appearance, but I think that's the most reasonable goal I can set right now.  I'd like to lose those 12 pounds by July 8th.  I leave for the beach on July 8th.  That's more than enough time...but it's not going to be an easy task for the over-eater that I am.
I'd like this to be the year that I'm comfortable enough to wear a bikini on the beach.  I've never worn one, never in my 27 years of existence.
Could 2012 be the year of the bikini?  Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
