I [16f, 5’1.5”, 181 lbs] find it extremely difficult to lose weight since I’m always hungry and I have awful self control. Please give me any sort of advice!

As the title says, I (16f) am about 5’1.5” (~156 cm) tall and weigh nearly 181 lbs (~ 82 kg). This is a huge change from my heaviest weight at 192 lbs from last year, but I can’t seem to lose anymore weight.

If I’m going to be honest here, I have awful eating habits. For starters, I have a total sweet tooth, I’m constantly eating Oreos and drinking sweet tea and snacking on any sort of chocolate or ice cream I can get my hands on. But, I’m also not a picky eater at all, and as a result, I’ll eat practically anything I can get my hands on. My mother used to call me a “garbage disposal” when I was younger since not only would I finish off my plate, but I’d even finish off the plates if anybody who wasn’t going to finish theirs, which more or less leads me into my next point.

Not only do I love all sorts of food, but I’m always hungry. And that really isn’t an exaggeration. All day, all I can think about is my next meal and what I want to eat next. Being on quarantine and at home when there is so much food for me to eat, its hard to resist. I even keep a bag of Oreos in my desk drawer and snack on them ALL DAY LONG. Not to mention the stock of sweet teas I keep on me.

I find it hard to control myself. Like mentally, I know I shouldn’t take more cookies, or drink another tea, or snack on whatever is in the fridge, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t impossible for me to resist. This has been going on for years now, and I can kind of pinpoint why I started this (childhood trauma involving food), but it’s so difficult to break out of it. I hate exercising since I get so tired and sweaty, I’m afraid of my knees giving out beneath my weight, I hate my double chin, I hate how my body looks in the mirror, I just... I hate everything about my weight, but I can’t control my eating habits.

I’ve tried dieting, I’ve tried calorie counting, I’ve tried exercising, but I can never stick with anything long terms. I wish there was something to physically stop me from eating, but I just can’t. Eating is essential, and I know I can’t just not eat. I’m tired of being obese, I want to go back to being a healthy weight like when I was a kid. I’m graduating high school in a few months- I don’t want to be the biggest girl at the graduation.

I don’t even like exercising, my hobbies involve reading, and drawing, and writing, and literally anything that involves me sitting down at a desk and just working. I don’t like sports, and the only “exercise” I enjoy is walking, but with the quarantine and the fact the weather has been so awful lately means I can’t go out and do that.

What I’m asking for is help, any sort of advice to help me start losing weight and keeping it off. I’m constantly fluctuating between 179-182 lbs, and for once, I want to see that scale drop and stay below those numbers. My goal weight as of right now is just 150 lbs to keep it simple and obtainable, I just want to start becoming healthy so I don’t fiddle myself with health issues by the time I’m in my 20s. I don’t want oto develop arthritis or diabetes or high blood pressure or anything. Please, anything helps. I just want to be healthy again, I don’t care about being super skinny or looking like a super model. I just want to stop being obese :(
