That's good, because eating healthy and exercising targets both problems. So you don't really need to know where one starts and the other ends. Your body will fight for the first few weeks, so it will get worse before it gets better, but once you get into that rythm you're unstoppable. You don't need to be athlete of the year, you don't need to drown in your own sweat every day, just get in there and do some work 1/1,5 hours a day. Consistency is more important than intensity right now. Also start reading about depression, see what you're dealing with.
The thing about losing weight is, that for me, it was the easiest thing I've ever done. You can start whenever you want, and it doesn't cost you a thing. You might even save a few bucks. Take a good multivitamin for men to go with it. And don't tell me you don't know what's healthy what's not, you know damn well. Here's a crazy idea, if you can logically explain to me why you wouldn't start with this today I'm all ears, otherwise today seems like a fine ass day.
What I would suggest is you sit down and ask yourself this: how bad do I want to get out of this mess that I've created? If the answer is bad as fuck. Then you need to dig deep into yourself and find that last drop of willpower, then consume it. Once you get into that rythm of eathing healthy, taking your multivitamin, exercise, learning about your illness it's smooth sailing.
I don't how bad your depression is. If you can't function in your everyday life and you're contemplating ending your life, then it's bad and you need to see a doctor. That fact that you're posting here tells me it might not be that bad.
All I'm saying is: start NOW! Not the 1st of whichever the fuck next month is. Not this summer and especially not the 1st of January.
