I second all of that. Many people on this forum have lost more weight than you weigh altogether! It may not help the way you feel about your body but look at some of the success stories. It may inspire you!
Low carb eating is not hard. I would never have believed it, but it's quite easy to stick to the basis. Much easier than faffing about with counting and weighing.
So give it a go. All you have to lose is your tummy! Actually for me that was the first thing to go when I started low carbing in earnest.
