as several people have noted, try to find a buddy to share your "pain" with, the extra support nutritionally and working out is a big help. I also suggest going to a site like bodybuilding.com and developing a reasonable nutrition plan you can stick with. another thing that I lilke to do is develop a few "staple" meals that you have several times a week, these should be cheap and easy as well as nutritionally sound (tuna and rice, spinach salad with chicken, etc). Also, squash is a great activity, however it isn't the best for losing weight, it it too much stopping and starting to be effective. you need consistant activity over an extended period, say 30 minutes or so at least 3x per week, and this activity may be walking light jogging biking etc, anything to get your heart rate up in a good fat burning level (say 145 bpm or so). anyhow don't give up and just do what you can when you can and you should see some steady progress.
