There are lots of different types of fish, not all are slimy. Potato wedges
are often not very healthy if they have been fried in bad stuff, check the
packaging.

I have no food preparation facilities here either, but there are much
healthier things to eat than cheese sandwiches (I guess you are having white
bread still, right?). First make sure you're eating brown bread and not
white, then you can have soup with it (there are millions of different
flavours and viscosities, don't tell me you hate all of them), salad with
chicken or tuna, even just cutting out half the cheese and replacing it with
some salad will be a good start. If you prepare food in the evening then
make a little more and take it to eat cold the next day if suitable (do you
have a microwave at work?).

What, you're incapable of stopping in a supermarket on the way home from
work?

Get some of those big packets of frozen chopped up mixed vegetables from the
supermarket, whilst not as good as the fresh stuff it's much faster to
prepare and is almost as good. Then throw a bit of chicken in the oven,
boil some noodles/rice/pasta, heat up some tomoato-based sauce (or make your
own if you are getting in to it) and you've got a really healthy, tasty and
quick meal.

Perhaps because you weren't having a weight problem back then? I did a huge
amount of exercise at university too and it didn't affect my weight at all.
But then neither did junking out for 3 months with no exercise so it doesn't
really prove anything.

But I bet at the end of the 2 years you could make that journey way faster
than at the beginning, if not you are not human!

It's just practise. Do 1 minute longer each day, that's definitely possible
to sustain for a few weeks, also don't start out sprinting, start out
thinking you're going to sustain this for 30 minutes - it makes a
difference.

While eating healthily the whole time? Don't believe you unless they have
some medical condition.

Young people who are not obese rarely do, but you're on the slipperly slope
now and the longer you go without acting the harder it will become...
