Perhaps if I find some way to get rid of the mental exhaustion, achieving some larger weight loss would be easier for me.
Don't go home from work. Pack a bag, have it in the car, and drive to the gym. I work ~60 hrs/wk on a computer and I empathize with your mental exhaustion. Once I get home, I don't want to do anything. That's why I don't go home until I'm done with what I want to get done. It works even better if your gym is the opposite direction from home when you're leaving work. Once you're already on the road to the gym (and away from home), it's harder to give up on yourself and turn around. "Well, I'm already driving there, I might as well go.."
