IF YOU DON'T LIKE JOGING IN THE MORNING GO AT NIGHT; I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL I'M IN YOUR SHOES, DON'T GIVE UP, YOU ARE A STRONG PERSON, IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO IT THEN DO IT.

You just have to tell yourself you CAN DO IT! From my experiences once you get in the zone of working out it just comes naturally. I started in August and have lost about 15 pounds. Now, I realize this is not a TON of weight, but it has been healthy and has stayed off, even when I have slipped up a few times. The beginning is the worst! Another option is just to give it up all junk food. I did for about the first month and a half and that is when I lost the majority of me weight. It is hard for me to limit myself to just one cookie because I want to eat the whole bag. So I just won't let myself eat that one cookie. I know it rough, but in the end think of how sexy you will look :D Good luck!
