That's good though! Anger = Action! If you're just fed up then you're passively acknowledging defeat, or something.

In reply to your Edit 2; I think as a species we are conditioned to hate things we have to do. Like I said, best to find an activity that you enjoy doing, that has the added benefit of being a form of exercise. You can trick you're brain that you're not actually exercising, you're just going for a walk/gardening, etc. Would it be possible for you to cycle to work, for example? That would have the added benefit of giving you a cast-iron excuse to refuse work related booze (Oh, I've got the bike...)

Also, if you reduced your food intake to match your energy expenditure you would be miserable, I guarantee it. You might stick to it for a few weeks if you were super keen but then you'd end up having a complete lard blowout because you had either reached a milestone and felt you 'deserved it', or because you were just fed up with all the rabbit food. Either way, you'd end up depressed and more likely not to follow healthy eating because lardy food = comfort food. I can't face going on a diet, so I run (or at least, I'm supposed to be running :))

Obviously I meant if you reduced your food intake to match your current energy expenditure, up there. Once you have increased your activity, and cut the (excessive) lard, your calorie intake should be less than your expenditure. Such is the path of Flabloss!
