Weight keeps dropping and performance keeps rising

I am now solidly weighing in the 280s and I have seen a drastic improvement in my body control and agility. The last week of Brazilian jujitsu has been very satisfying for me. There is a combination of factors that caused the increased performance but my diet is the keystone. I have lost weight and have improved my energy levels, coupled with the fact that it is easier to move my body at 285 than 306. A synergistic effect is occurring between my martial arts studying and my fat loss.
I have played sports most of my life in the heavyweight divisions and on the Line of scrimmage in football. My size was rewarded especially in football. This identity of being big is hard for me to let go of, but I know as grow older there is no need for me to carry such body mass. Health reasons alone should warrant a shift to a smaller body but I have to reset my internal image of myself. I will never be a small person but I can try to be a lot leaner and reap the benefits of my new body. I am just starting to see the results and I LIKE IT!
