In_need_of_change

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum - this weekend I've had a bit of a 'lightbulb moment' which has spurred me on to make some changes. The problem is... I don't know where to start. That's where I'm hoping this website and some of the members on here can help me.
I've always been a curvy girl... boobs, bum, hips. But over the last 2 years, I've really let my weight get on top of me and I think I've been in total denial about it all. In the next year, my boyfriend and I will be looking to get married and I can't bare to be this uncomfortable with myself when that happens. I can't look at photos of myself or catch myself in the mirror without feeling disgusted. I'm just so low about my body.
I suffered really bad anxiety just over 1 year ago, I started taking some anti depressants called 'Sertraline' which have helped me massively. I'm in an amazing mindset and finally feeling back to my old self again. The only problem is the 2 stone I've gained.
My clothes are tight, my rolls are huge and I feel horrible within myself. I'm currently weighing in at 12 and half stone. I feel like I eat relatively healthy (always lots of fish/veg etc.) and drink lots of water through the day. When comparing myself (dangerous, I know!) with other people - I can't help but feel like I deserve to be slim!! But my size 14 hips disagree.
I work massively long hours in my job (8am-7pm) which really restricts my time for exercise (or a life in general!!). But I NEED to make changes and find a way out of this hole I'm in.
Please please help me xxxx
