. I live with cronic back-pain which makes physical activity hard, which leads to me being inert, which leads to more back pain, etc.

I can't comment on being overweight but with regards to chronic back pain, feel your pain. I had a very bad back injury and i've been rehabing it for close to 20 months. Sorry, but you cannot use this as an excuse. You'll never get better and you will slide farther and farther away from health. I was the same way. I couldn't do anything, even 10 minutes on a stationary bike would be too painful and leave me with extra pain for days. My back hurt 24/7 and I had massive headaches. So i gave up excersise and got depressed. One day i just decided to do something about it. I resumed my physio and posture excersises but nothing would take because of my inactivity. So I started to go for walks at night, very slow and controlled walks where i tried to hold my posture and work the correct muscles. It started to help and I would go for longer walks. I did this every day for two months. Over time my back strenght improved and my pain and headaches went down considerably. I'm still rehabing but I can do things without pain now and my life has improved exponentially. I feel normal again and am having fun living my life again. It sucks and its unbelievably hard but you have take things in your own hands if you want to get better. Sure its an excuse but the your only excusing yourself from becoming happier and healthier.
