I would try to go really slow at first so you can't wait to get back inthe gym and you're sort of forcing yourself to leave. I would start with 2 days a week for no more than 40 mins. and build up from there.
Same goes with the diet. If you go gung ho you'll never stick to it, start slow. Make little changes. Instead of 3 meals a day go with 4 don't try to jump to 6. Drink an extra 2 cups of water per day and work up to 8. Replace pop with water as much as possible. Instead of two parts starch one part meat and one part veggies at dinner, go with 2 parts meat 1 part veggie and one part starch. Make little changes and they will become second nature if you try to do more, failure will be that much easier to avoid.
