Excess body weight is a killer in many ways so try your best to lose any extra pounds. I know what I'm talking about because I was about 50 lbs above my ideal weight and it caused all sorts of problems. I finally started walking at night with my wife - short distances and slowly at first, plus minimal dieting (no snacks but same sized regular meals). I dropped 12 lbs in a month and have hit a plateau, but I'm sticking with it. I'm up to 10 miles a week and feeling much better. Maybe I'll be 38 lbs lighter in a few months...

My prayers are with you that you can overcome the obstacles and continue your career but your health comes first.
