Exercise induced PVCs

I am wondering if anyone else is going through something like this and if so, how to deal with it.  It is mainly a problem of PVC's which are benign according to all the tests I've had.  I get them any time my heart rate exceeds 100bpm.  They do not make me dizzy or lightheaded, but scare the pants off me!!!!  I used to be incredibly fit, not overweight and very active.  Since I've had my two children (nearly 4years and 1yr), things have changed drastically for me.  I can't seem to start on an exercise program because of these palpitations.  I quit playing ice hockey, which I loved, and have not been active at all.  I am pretty overweight, I could probably lose 30-40lbs.  My hands feel tied.  Oh yeah, I can't stop eating either ;-).  I have a stressful marriage and I seem to have become an emotional eater.  Mostly my question is how to overcome the fear of the PVCs.  Any ideas would be most welcome.
Regards.
