What does it take to stay body positive?
You'll never feel "done". Fitness isn't something you ever really finish, but you should get to a place of feeling good and feeling proud of all you've accomplished in your fitness. Beating yourself down for not being "there" yet will never let you get UP. Push and encourage yourself and talk to yourself as you would talk to your best friend... which you are. Does negative reinforcement really work on anybody? You have to be able to recognize how far you've come or you won't recognize when you *arrive*.
