Congratulations on re-committing to better health; I think that first step is really, really hard. But, now you can relax and figure out what you need to do. Start drinking that water, think about what kind of exercise you can do right now and what kind of eating plan will work for you. I highly recommend one of the various online calorie counting packages, like the Daily Plate, which will figure out your calories and fat content and sodium content etc. when you enter in your foods --- it has really been a big help to me!
I look forward to hearing more about your journey to better health! Welcome to the board!
