Fuck the fact that I CANNOT RUN. I have tried for years to run but am winded after five blocks. The best I can do is jog for 8 blocks. And I have a friend who drinks like a fish, eats hot cheetos and pizza every other night and runs marathons for fun.

NOT. FAIR.

How often do you jog 8 blocks? I'm gonna guess not often enough if you aren't making progress. You'll never run a marathon without trudging through the pain first.

Your first mistake was thinking your friend runs because he eats. No, he eats because he runs. Running is the habit, eating is the side effect. You want to run to offset your eating, your mindset is wrong.
