As a Slough-of-Despond-overweight person, I say: go, you. The only thing about your list of weak points which I don't really understand is about finishing other people's food. You need not answerthis question here, but what is that about?
I have read of mothers putting on weight by finishing the kiddo's food, and I did that about twice when Child was new because I was so exhausted and hungry that if I didn't stoke up right that minute I'd have fallen over, but it's never been a habit. In fact, it strikes me as a bit on the ick-factor side, for lots of TMI reasons.
Is it that you don't like seeing good food go to waste? This is where you need to keep small fowl or a few chickens, or find friends who do so, and put client buffet leftovers into the seething mash pot. The you can feel good about eating the eggs later.
Or get a wormery: good for all cooked non-meat items.
admiration levels = high

But good luck at it anyway. You inspire me.
