We live in Az, so it's the best season down here for exercise. I have been thinking that it could be that I was used to getting ready for work and maybe never noticed morning anxiety because I was busy, and my body is just used to it, or, like you say, anxious that I don't have a job now. As far as rewards, I haven't thought of it yet, but it would probably be a good idea. Maybe a meal plan or something. Thank you for your replies, they are very thoughtful and inspiring.

@pierce9999 Paul, absolutely, that change in routine can bring anxiety forward! What can you do that would be substituting your previous actions? Where you got ready for work and headed out, what about now using that to get ready and go for a walk, do some exercise, and establish that new habit.
Rewards can be small things. A new book you wanted to read? A trip to a fancy coffee shop you heard about? As you get healthier, and start losing the weight you want, you might notice your entire outlook changing, and find the medication you thought was necessary, really isn't!
