I know what you mean. It's like "They" set the system up so only rich folks can eat right, poor folks have to feed on high-carb filler material. Their judgment slumbereth not...
You have a long way to go, so you have start out slow. And will probably fall off the wagon again and again, multiple times. But that's okay. Just get back on and plug away at it.
The main thing is exercise. Doesn't really matter what (except jogging and long distance slow running, that's s killer. Seriously, it kills, don't do it.) A little bit every day, a little more every week.
You may need to check and see if you aren't borderline diabetic (if yes, don't fret, it CAN be reversed).
Food addiction is basically like any other addiction: a way to find release and comfort and avoid emotional/psychological pain. Self medicating, in other words.
You should find people who have been where you are and are now where you want to be, and talk to them. Preferably in real life, but there are online forums for people recovering from addictions to share their experiences, etc. Just stay away from any kind of 12 step programs, those are basically like cults. I speak from experience.
praying with you!
