I was tired all the time. I realized that I've been "rewarding" and comforting myself with fast-food. And then there's vanity. I turned 40, and I want to feel great about myself. I want to lose 20 pounds.

Are you taller? I'm 5'8", and I have to lose 20 lbs before I even think about going down a size. Also, I would bet people are noticing some, but I know I wouldn't say anything for fear of offending.
