The thing you'll find out is that once you lose the excess weight, a lot of the problems that you have will either go away or become a lot more manageable.

Not to mention the psychological boost you'll get when you start getting compliments about how good you look.

I don't know how tall you are, but set a goal to do at least 25 pounds. Then once you get there, keep going till you get back to your "happy place" weight wise.

I'm a pretty big guy ( 6'2 / 231 ) and I carry my weight well, but I am going to get back to 190 or so. Trucking has a tendency to make you fat.
