I’ve been thinking about your posts and here is my advice.


Because you were raised in a very health conscious household, you obviously know which foods are nutritious and which are not. Make a list of your very very favroite healthy foods. Don’t even think about lo cal right now, just healthy. If it’s cold chicken breast and fresh rasbperries, whatever. Persuade whoever does the grocery shopping to buy what is on your list. Hopefully, you will enjoy your favorites a lot and eating them won’t leave you feeling deprived.
Choose the one kind of exercise you like (or tolerate) best. Do it. If finances permit, buy a new outfit and/or shoes for whatever it is and do it.
Read some of the “Eat This Not That” books. That way, if you find yourself at a fast food or other restaurant, you will be knowledgable enough to choose the lesser of the evils.


My guess is that if you do this, you will lose 5 lbs, and after you lose 5 lbs you will start feeling in control.
