John, many of the things you wrote about I can identify with. The decision to lose the excess weight has to come from within you and only you can do it. I still have a long way to go, but so far I have lost almost 40 lbs!!!. The best feeling in the world is to be able to fit into clothes that have long been too tight. I am starting to look forward to going outside instead of hiding inside. Whatever diet you decide to do, I wish you luck and even if you trip and mess up, just get right back up and keep on. Do some type of exercise, it will help melt the pounds away. Good luck to you.
