I don’t know what to do or how to get motivated.

I’m hoping to get some advice. I apologize if this is the wrong place. Feel free to remove this is it is.

My story:

I’m 35 years old and have been overweight since I was a kid. 35/M/400-something pounds. I’ve of course tried dieting many times but have always failed. I’ve always done it alone. I’ve got an amazing wife whom I just married a couple weeks ago. She’s amazing and I got incredibly lucky to find her a couple years ago. My lack of exercise and large amount of food intake has been the norm the entire time we’ve been together. This last November I got pneumonia really bad and was hospitalized for it. I hadn’t been to a doctor in years and that’s when I found out that I had ballooned to over 400 pounds! Seriously? Yup. I ate better for about week or two before slipping right back into my old habits again. I’ve got sleep apnea and my feet are numb all the time which is worse. Lately with this virus bullshit we’ve been home. A lot. She’s been working from home for over a month and I got laid off a month ago. She gets stir crazy and likes to go on a walk every one and a while. I had never really wanted to do that. Like I said before my food intake has been the same for years. No exercise and eating a lot is normal to me. I don’t think much about it at all. This all erupted tonight after dinner. She broke down crying because she’s really worried about my health and she’s worried she’ll be a widow within a few years. With hearing and talking to her about this I’ve decided it’s time for a change. A big one. Not just for my wife but for me too. I’ve put this off for way too long. With her by my side I feel I can do it this time. I’m hoping I can get some help from you guys on here and some tips on how to go about it. Thank you r/loseit.
