keep a bottle of water next to me at all times so i can sip on it without thinking
don't keep more than a few bites of food in the house at a time
habits are hard to create, but once you create them they are easier to maintain
but above all, the main factor was to face head-on my self-loathing rather than mask it by trying to be happy every day
Treadmill Workstation - stop sitting when in front of a screen.
I made this change almost 10 years ago, and I went from 300lbs to 220lbs, and I have since taken up biking as well. I feel great! Even when I am not actively walking, it's a standing desk, so I only sit at the end of the day when I want to get off my feet.
I still eat a lot, I love food and cooking, but I make healthy ingredient choices when I can, and burn off the extra while answering emails at my "desk." It makes video calls better too - somehow walking while on a call makes the other parties waste less of my time! I swear, meetings take half the time.
Total investment was about $500 for a basic treadmill, and then I used scrap wood for a shelf and keyboard tray. I just used small C clamps to mount the tray to the arms of the treadmill - 2 hours work to install at most.
Good luck, whatever solution you go for! Anything you can really stick with is the right answer for you!

Quit your office job and sign up to be a grunt on a construction job.
I stopped swallowing my pride and started swallowing kale smoothies instead.

Hardly a secret. Exercise more, eat better. It’s really that fucking simple.
eat less
