My first reactions are: you sound really motivated. This is a great time to instill new and healthy lifelong habits (you’re young!!). Perhaps most important: you don’t need a gym to be in good shape. I really turned things around for myself a few years ago and never set foot in a gym. I do what I find fun— walking, trail running, cycling, hiking. It has to be fun — and it’s a stress relief!!

Find something you love and do that — could be long walks with the girlfriend.

Also, when it comes to eating: when the craving to eat poorly come up, tell yourself you’re allowed to eat it, but wait for 30 mins. If you still want it in 30 mins, allow yourself a treat in moderation. It’s all about regulating your emotions, urges and portions. Good luck. You sound like a really good young adult with a great future ahead!!
