Seriously, you sound like you're putting it off and blaming your money situation. [time I can understand though; some things do take time]
You don't _need_ the gym or to spend anymore on your well-being and fitness! Yeah you've heard the cliches in the past; but if you change certain things in your everyday life it'd be a positive. Walk up and down the stairs a few times, don't take lifts, stop at the bus stop one before your actual destination's bus stop and walk the rest, park the car further away, simple things like that. Keep an eye out for the things you cook and drink. Nowadays I've cut out fizzy drinks and replaced them with fizzy water (which I like.) If I really want flavour I usually add dilute to taste low calorie tesco's value lemon stuff to it for a delicious refreshing lemonade (it's really cheap too! Tescos do 18p for 2litre bottle of fizzy spring water and 35p for 1l low cal dilute to taste value lemon.) Keep a note of intake and outtake; and whenever you go to eat something try to take note of how you're feeling at the time.
The best way I'm doing it is to have a scale set in my mind. I keep in mind that 100g of tesco's steak cut oven chips for example has 1.4g saturated fats. I then compare all that I eat against that scale. So for example, a 25g packet of walkers crisps has 3.5g saturated fats! That means 1 packet of crisps = 300g of oven chips (ridiculous!) One 33g croquette is 1.6g sat fats; thus 1 croquette = 100g chips. With this scale in mind it makes it perfectly obvious what's good and what isn't...
But yeah; I only suggest this cos this is what works for me; not sure if the same thing works for you but you could try.
And it doesn't take too long and doesn't cost you anything!
