Exercise was the last thing I was able to take up. I made it really specific: it had to be an all woman gym so I wouldn't care what I looked like; it had to be on my way home; it had to be fast in and out; and I didn't want to wait for exercise machines, or be part of a "class" with everyone going in the same direction except me. I actually found a place that fit the bill perfectly. It's called Curves and they are sprouting up all over the place. You're in the door and back out in 30 minutes. I go 3 x a week and have not been dieting. I lost 3 lbs in a month and 10 inches total from various places on my body. Considering I started going on my doctor's orders to help with the depression, it's been one of the best things I've ever forced myself to do.
I realize that none of this has to do with overeating, but: you don't have to worry about yourself as much if you're doing some form of exercise. It really put my metabolism back in gear.
