Getting Started

Hello everyone.  I am desperately trying to get myself motivated to start losing weight.  I got married in March of 2008 and since then I have gained over 50 pounds.  I am so depressed about it that just keep eating all of the time.  Especially when others aren't around.  I fell like I have no will power.  This creates a constant cycle of self doubt and anger.  I am so tired of feeling out of control with my eating.  I have been seeing a counselor who specializes in helping people lose weight, but it doesn't seem to help because I am so devastated by what I have become. 

 I am looking for advice on how to get started.  My eating habits are very poor at this time, and I can't seem to bring myself to exercise no matter how hard I try.  Any help would be appreciated.
