Just found out - now what?

I just found out I have fatty liver. I wasn't given many details other than my doc wants to do a hep. screen to ensure I do not have hep. The doctor's nurse said I just need to adjust my diet and exercise like I used to. Okay...I get I need to diet and exercise but what do I eat, what don't I eat, I don't really drink that much alcohol, SO MANY QUESTIONS!!! (And of course no real answer yet)

So I lost over 100 lbs about 3 years ago (that's when I started my tremendous backslide). Between injuries, excuses, and laziness I gained weight again and now reside around 350 lbs. So I gained back 80 lbs in the span of 3 years. Now I feel like crud all the time, stomach hurts, tired, and just plain thinking I'm dying.

I don't need motivation to do this. Tomorrow starts me getting back on the wagon (and I could use some pals who are battling the same thing to help keep me accountable and vice versa). What I need is people telling me what has worked for them and that this is actually something I can get a grip on, meet head on, and defeat it all while getting back to kicking some butt in the process.

Thanks for reading my book here. ;) Just scared and disgusted in myself all at the same time.

    How's it going? I've just posted now and am about to find out for sure next week why my scan shows as 'bright' - usually fatty liver apparently
