...but I can't find control over my eating.

I kwon the basis rules: eat less, move more. I have the whole concept backward: eat more, move less.

I can't seem to get on track and lose the weight. Is anyone else in my boat? If you have any way of "making" me see the light of weight loss, please share.

I am 305 pounds and 5'5". I work in an office all day and come home, eat dinner (usually chinese take-out or go to mexican place here in town) and then sit on my butt till bed time.

I know I need to exercise. I don't have the mind set to do it though.

PLEASE!!!! Someone give me the magic power to just do it.

chineese take outs and mexican food is not the best choice you can make.

begin to analyze the foods you consume over a weeks time by making a list.

it's really all about choice.
if you're always telling yourself that you'll begin tomorrow, then tomorrow never comes. why wait? make healthy food choices today. skip that take out dinner and when you get home, try taking a walk instead.

you can also change your mind about telling yourself what you can't do (as in your title above) to what you can do.

If you're waiting for someone to do something for you, keep on waiting. I too LOVE to eat and LOVE to sit down on my butt all day and do nothing. But i don't. If you don't do it for you, no one will.

Like I said: keep waiting...

Sorry if I sound rude... But I think you need a kick in the butt to get started.
