   Yes, you can do this. It is great that you know and can admit how much you weigh. We'll try to keep you accountable. Look for things that are high in fiber to keep you feeling full! I found some mission tortillas that are 9 grams of fiber per tortilla. Everyone needs at least 35 grams per day!

   Hang in there, I have joined a gym and go daily to work out. It's tough to start but once you do it's all worth it

   You can do it! Food diary is an excellent way to start, and if you want to add your mood when you eat, that can help you figure out your triggers.
   
   Small meals, front load your carbs at the beginning of the day, and eating protein/ fiber is your best friend - try to eat enough during the day and in the late afternoon to keep you from sticking your head in the refeer at night.

   Interesting that you posted this question: "If I got my money situation under control then I should be able to do the weight right?" I've been wondering the same thing - why can I focus almost obsessively on the grocery budget and yet not apply the same logic and self-control when it comes to my eating habits. I know what I need to do, it's the doing part that is so difficult.

   Lizjane commented on an interesting point about the connection between debt control and weight control. I'm guessing that if you work real hard at one, you may feel "deprived" and seek to indulge in the other.
   
   The trick is finding ways to reward yourself or feel good that don't involve either food or spending money!
