Everyone on this board has it brothers. Otherwise, whythe fuck would they bother signing onto a website designed to help people build better physiques? Cause there's something about ourselves that drives us all to fucking distraction at times and we're basically willing to mold our lives around looking the best we can. We all have this problem. Trust me when I tell you that you could have far far worse problems mentally. You don't want to be crazy - it sucks.

I'm actually trying to devise a specific meditation process that could be very helpful with this problem- without destroying your ability to train. Replacing a negative motivating factor with positive ones which are more inclusive of all the other parts of your life could only enhance your training. I may even actually come up with a research study when I'm going for my masters in psychology based on this entire process. Maybe some of the bro's on this board would volunteer? This isn't happening anytime soon but thought I'd see what kind of response the idea got.

ad, what's going on, bro? that would be so f'n great. it would cut out so much of the nonsense one goes through mentally before, in and after the workout. most people who are serious about bodybuilding go through some kind of a ritual pre-workout anyway. this meditation could be that ritual that puts one in such a zone, that they're like a programmed machine in the gym. no bullshit talking, being distracted by the hottie in the corner.... just get in there, perform the most intense workout ones body will allow and get out. excellent idea. 
The poster boy right here. I am the worst with this. I will NEVER be big enough. I'm 250 now and one not to distant day agao I though that would satisfy my need for mass....RIGHT! 300's the plan now. In my eys I look no different now at 250 than I did at 180. I CAN'T see it. And I do mean I can't see it. I look in the mirror and though I recognise I have a good physique, it is still WAY too small and undeveloped. It wreaks havok on my self esteem and perception of myself. I'm never content, as most on this board probably are'nt...But is that not the very thing that drives us. What happens when we are satisfied? We stop doing what we do because there's no need to further the endevour. In a way we need this mind set to pursue our goals. We are a unique breed, no doubt, that is dedicated like few others. If we become content we loose the very dedication the defines us that unique breed. We focus our energies and souls in a way most see demented...They see our lifestyle like that because they don't have the capacity to live it themselves and thus can't comprehend what it takes. If we don't critically critique ourselves we find nothing to improve and suddenly we blend in with the mass heard of sheep who refute our way of life. Perfection is an unatainable goal...But it sure as hell is fun to try.
I have a few "tricks" for you guys that work for me.
1. All mirrors are not created equal. The mirror in my bathroom makes me look like shit and the one in my living room makes me look jacked. Lighting also plays a role. I only look at 4 mirrors for reference on how I am doing, the one in my living room, 2 at my gym, and 1 at my University gym. Avoid all mirrrors in clothing stores, they make you look tiny. I look at myself in these mirrors at the same distance.
2. Clothing makes a huge difference. Choose cuts that make you look big. Stick to light colored shirts, white is best.
I can't think of any other ones right now, but this has really helped me.
