I will tell you what I did in that situation. I ate the cheap, processed, calorie dense foods, until such time as I could move to a major metropolitan area with better economic opportunities. Moving to that area (Northern Virginia) was my focus. I did it through sheer willpower and determination. I had to essentially abandon family and friends to do it however. But I gave myself a better life outcome.
