Health is extremely important, so if you are gaining weight quickly you should address this issue seriously. Switching from a boring office job to a job where you cook and have access to a lot of food has its risks from the point of view of someone who just read your comment.

From your comment, it seems that you may eat and drink to cope with your problems. If reducing your calories intake on the long term is very difficult, you should consider seeking professional help, notably psychological help. That will improve the quality and duration of your life.

By starting a business you'll also add stressors. The financial security and low-risk nature of software development is one of the best parts.
