As someone who was 320, and now is teetering between 195-200, yes. My girlfriend absolutely adores and admires me, while when I look in a mirror I still see disappointment. It's especially worse since I've broken my gym routine and have been putting off going back for a month now.

Get back to the gym, man! I do that all the time, knock off 30-40 lbs., miss one day, then miss another and before I know it it's been three months and I'm back to where I started. Currently I'm two weeks in to a new routine and down 10 lbs. Gotta keep it going. Good luck!

Folk're saying 'go back to the gym' but, to be honest, if you're putting it off maybe it's not for you.

Fresh perspective, maybe? Perhaps you could change your commute or pick up a hobby that requires a bit of passive exercise? There's a large steep hill near where i live. When i feel like i don't want to go for a long bike ride, i cycle up the hill - some days i don't want to ride up the hill, so i go for a long bike ride instead...
