Thanks very much. I can't add fish to my diet because I am allergic to
fish. However, I don't have that excuse for exercise and I know it is
essential that I develop some willpower there.

The trick with exercise is to find something you enjoy doing for its own
sake, not just because it is good for you. There are so many different
ways to be more active, and you can get benefits even by being just
slightly more active than you are now. Don't be afraid of exercise. You
don't have to go from couch potato to marathon runner overnight. Some
people start with very simple things, like parking further away from the
store, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, taking a 5 minute daily
walk, etc.

If you have no clue about exercise, I recommend checking out your local
YMCA. The one I go to has so many options, for people of all fitness
levels, and trained staff who really know about fitness, not just about how
to sell memberships like at some gyms.
