<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

Hey Guys! I've been a follower for a few months now and I just had a basic question and would love feedback if you're willing to give it!

I'm overweight and I know it. I used to be active and healthy. Food was never an issue for me as I played soccer in both high school and college and never had to worry about it since I burned it all off. After a couple of knee surgeries, I can no longer play soccer, and I get soreness if I push too hard running. 
I used my soreness and fear of reinjuring my knee as an excuse to get lazy and stop exercising. Suddenly, I went from a 5'5 140 pound muscular female to pushing 260 lbs at the same height. I overeat for the amount of exercise I (hardly) get and no matter how many times I try to change my eating habits, something always happens and I turn back to food.

I might be over sharing and not posting anything of worth to any of the other users on here, but my question is about motivation. I know everyone's different. We all come from different backgrounds, scenarios, geographical locations, etc. I'm not looking for a straight forward answer. I just want to know or maybe hear some examples of how you guys finally got on the right path.

I tell myself I want to lose weight and be happier about myself, but I don't want to work out. I'll get to the point of putting on my running shoes and then not getting off the bed. I eat like absolute garbage, and not only that, but I eat to almost double the amount I should be.
I really appreciate the feedback, and thanks again.
