Omigosh I related to your post so much, that said quit being so mean to yourself!
This isn't EASY and no one else has to live your life but you, you have to reclaim your life for YOU, and this is speaking as someone who has similar health issues as you (PCOS, sleep apnea for sure, possibly thyroid issues as well). Change out of self-love, not self-hate, the latter doesn't usually motivate us for very long.
Not sure if you're on medication & I'm not a medical professional but seaweed helped me lose weight a few years ago (I think because the iodine helped kickstart my thyroid, again not a professional just my experience), I think it's worth trying. It didn't work much after the first few weeks lol, that part was on me, but it was nice to go from 315.8 lbs. down to 301.6 in a matter of weeks (I hadn't changed my diet yet when this happened, just included seaweed).
I loved this part of your post -

I've started using my fitness pal again. Well, logging in the diary - I've kept my daily streak up though. And tonight I got on the wii again after nearly 6 months. I didn't do anything too strenuous but I did over on hour of various activities on wii sports. It's a start and I enjoyed it - beat my streak on one of the tennis training games.
Tomorrow, I plan on cooking eggs for breakfast. And taking some water to work with me. Over the weekend, I plan on sitting down as little as possible - might take the dog for a walk (weather permitting), go on the wii again and anything I can think of.
Time for me to take back my health!

You're off to a great start, and as a woman going through similar issues remember this -
"Little things make a big difference." If you can only do 10 minutes or so of activity next time, or anytime it counts compared to NO ACTIVITY. If you drink one less fizzy drink, it helps. One less serving of something fattening, it all helps, it all adds up.
Also don't worry about the big picture, focus on smaller goals, like 5kg, or 10kg at a time, gradually it will add up.
Lastly Youtube & Instagram are some of my best friends for motivation, there's a young woman on FB & Instagram I follow named fatgirlfedup, here's her instagram
https://www.instagram.com/fatgirlfedup/ in less than a year and a half she's lost more than I weigh (she lost 285 lbs., I weigh 256.6 lbs. for reference
, oh and my highest was 350 lbs. and 158.7kg).
You've got this, one choice, and one pound, one kg at a time.
