Today, I got up very early to join my fit, slim, husband for a morning walk, since I work from home, order food to be delivered, and barely leave the couch. Afterwards, he biked off to work, and I went straight back to bed. With some candy. Small steps, I guess. FML

If you don't like your life, you are the only one who can change it. You deserve it for feeling sorry for yourself.

My question is whose idea was it for OP to lose weight? If it was a decision that was imposed on her by her husband, then the lack of commitment, while not something that can be supported or condoned, is somewhat understandable. If however, OP decided she wanted to lose weight, or it was a mutual/joint decision, then this is far more concerning. As a former fatty myself OP, I just want to say that often times, the hardest hurdle to overcome is the initial one - committing to the cause. It took me at least 2 years after deciding to lose, to fully commit to the task. Even if you make "small steps", hopefully they're forward, and not sideways and then eventually, backwards.

Sounds like you just need to care to get off your ass on your own during the day. You obviously got the time.

Speaking of wastes of life, that's exactly what you are for being an asshole to someone because the anonymity of the internet makes you brave enough to show what an awful human being you are.

Bluntly put, this sounds like depression. Mild depression, but depression nevertheless. Lack of energy, comfort eating, lack of motivation, poor food choices, engaging in behavior for comfort then feeling guilty about it... I suggest talking to your GP and getting some labs done to see if your hormones, vitamins, and minerals are all in healthy range, and getting a referral to a psychiatrist for evaluation if they are. Look up meals that are easy but healthy to make, and that keep well so you can make a few days of food in one night and eat off that instead of ordering in because you don't have the energy to cook. Also, every 30/60 minutes, get up and walk around the house a few times and do ten or twenty repetitions of an exercise. Do a different exercise each time. Drink more water- not only does it help make you feel full, it cleans out your system. If you snack a lot, pick healthy ones- unflavored popcorn, apple slices, nuts, or go for the healthier alternatives like dark chocolate instead of milk, for example- and limit portion size. Try to make sure your getting enough sleep. Also, with exercise, start slow- if you try to start at the level someone healthier than you does, you have a very high chance of hurting yourself. Also, you don't have to eat healthy ALL the time. Ideally you want to be eating healthier food, but you want to be doing it in a way that it doesn't feel like a diet. You want the healthier foods to be what comes to mind by default, but you can and should have treat every now and then. If you feel deprived, you've cut out too much food.

I mean, I hiked the Trinity Alps at one point, but when my asthma went haywire, I'm now celebrating getting 8 minutes of normal walking speed without an attack. You gotta start somewhere. Go slow, work your way up. Also, dried fruit is a good snack if you like candy. Freeze-dried, dried, even just fancy fruit...sweet things do exist in healthy ways. :p
