Lost my way with making healthy choices

I live in Illinois. And am a middle age male. I used to be a model of health and exercised 3-4x a week for 12 years. Working too many hours and started self-medicating with food. Gained 35 lbs. Today I reached the last straw. I passed 200lbs. I need inspiration for fitness buffs who have gone through the same thing as me. I knew what was happening and I let it happen. Very disappointed in myself. Thanks for your help in advance. John

    John, don't beat yourself up. We all know what is happening when we let ourselves go, but we choose to ignore it until something startles us into addressing it. You are at that point. Just start addressing it today. Be accountable for everything you put in your mouth. Track meticulously. Make better choices. It WILL change, I promise :)
