[QUOTE="bacon, post: 1095973, member: 3632"] If I woke up tomorrow and I was in your shoes this is what I would do: First, I would go through my kitchen and throw away any food/drink that was unhealthy and full of sugar. Then I would look up meals which are healthy and learn to cook them. For meals out, have a few places you can go where the food you eat is healthy. In terms of diet , I would stick to something which is very low in sugar, with lots of vegetables and has little processed/ fried foods. Secondly, I would stick to a fitness program. In your case, I would do 3 days of machine/weights in the gym or home calisthenics (body weight exercises like push ups, squats) at first then gradually move to 5 days a week. On off days go for walks. After 4-6 weeks you will have developed good eating and exercises habits. Once the habits are instilled you will find it relatively easy to stick with this and after a long time, perhaps 2 years, you will be 100 pounds lighter. You should view your food addiction like your past experience with alcoholism. Quitting alcohol required changing your habits, not giving into temptation, and being committed to making a positive change to your life. The fact that you have quit drinking means you are clearly capable of doing what is necessary to get your weight under control. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
