That's an amazing story, Tony. Congratulations.
sounds like you are doing a great job. Let me add my personal story. Over the past 15 months, I have been very slowly losing weight. I dont even weigh myself. I just look at myself in the mirror and check how comfortable my pants fit.
The hardest part, in my opinion, is to resist your hunger. If you can resist your hunger, then weight loss is almost guaranteed, even without exercising.
My strategy is .... try to stay away from the supermarket. This means --- dont stock up on food (and risk eating it too soon). Only buy the food that you will eat that day (if possible). You will get a little extra exercise by going out (especially walking) to a cheap cafe or cheap restaurant every day to eat (you can buy some take out food there too if you want for dinner). You can order something for delivery but try to order healthy food (which is not so easy). If you do go to the supermarket, only buy what you will eat that day (and night). maybe buy 2 days of food max. The point is to not keep too much tempting food at home. I used to buy only 1 day of food max but now I am buying 2 days of food max.
The most important part of my strategy is ..... keep track of what you eat each day. Dont reduce your food intake too quickly. Your appetite will be too strong and you risk overeating when severe hunger pains kick in.
Every week or every few weeks (whenever you feel capable), slightly reduce the amount which you eat one day. And then eat that way for a few days or weeks until you are comfortable with it and experience no serious hunger pains.
Just continue reducing your food intake every week or two (or month or two) until you are down to the weight you want to be. Slow and steady. In my opinion, better to diet slowly than starve yourself and end up going on a feeding frenzy.
My diet is so slow, I probably only lost 1-2 pounds per month (average) over the past 15 months. May not be the best diet for you but it works for me.
