I'm not really worried about money. I'm just doing all of the things I wanted to do, but was too burned out to commit to.

I just said fuck it, and decided to do all the things I need to do to feel good about myself. So I want to get healthier, and finish a novel I've been working on. Then I'll get back to work somewhere.

pick one

you're too heavy to start running, take up swimming instead, also try meal restriction.

At your size, with your weight loss goals you should actually, no meme, look at fasting because it is a very consistent and fast way to lose weight (for obese people, like you, you are clinically obese mate).

Maybe try 5-2, fasting 2 days a week or something and control your diet to reasonable levels during the other 5.

Start small. Start slow.

Go for walks not runs.

Start on some wall push-ups.
6 reps. Done 6 times.

Eat healthy.

That should start you getting into the mindset. If you try everything everyone tells you. You're gonna be burnt out in a week.

I'm right there with you. I hurt my right ankle wrestling over 10 years ago and I still have to be careful. The ligament got stretched out or something. So now if I step wrong, I can possibly be stuck not walking for a month. It sucks.
