I am 250lbs 5'5 female. I'm 16yrs old. When i was a child I didn't have access to food, so when I did have access to food in my preteen years I gained a horrible binge eating habit. I tried to diet when I was around the age of 10, when I realized it had gotten out of control. I tried calorie counting, and exercise. I ate 1500kcal a day, and walked nearly 20miles every day. I don't know why, but even after a month my weight was still going up. I went from 150, to 190. I was terrified so I did a stupid thing, I went vegan, and tried interment fasting. I'd take in water for 3 days, eat for one, and so on. The days I did eat I managed to eat under 500kcal, making sure of it with a food scale. I did this for a year, and the only thing I did was maintain my weight of 190lbs. In the summer I did one 7day water fast, and got down to 187, but gained it back within a week when I went back to my 3 days off 1 day on habit. I eventually gave up after a little more then a year because I was getting wicked headaches, and felt constantly weak. I started eating somewhere between 1500, and 2500kcal a day, weighing my food with a food scale still. I didn't weigh myself for months, when when I finally did at the doctors one time, I was in tears to find out I was 230lbs. I tried dieting here and there, but I could never stick to it. I'm unsure how I loss the self control I used to have. I got into a bad habit of binging, and then starving myself. A bad yoyo diet. Recently last year in october after a bad break up, I got serious with dieting and exercising, I ate a low carb diet, which consisted of a lean protein like fish or chicken, and vegetables for dinner, and a snack of peanuts, some celery and an ounce of cheddar, after a work out. Around this time I also started measuring myself as well as weighing myself. At the gym Id do some muscle group exercise, as well as an hour on the treadmill, incline 13, at 3.5mph. I kept this up even through the holidays. I gained weight as well as several inches on my waist and hips and such, and became very pudgy. In january I gave up, I was angry at myself for gaining weight again and now becoming 260lbs. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I am posting this in hopes of someone knowing what I'm doing wrong, and helping to me fix it. I just want to feel normal. Help with a diet plan would also be nice, I have 20$ a week to spend on groceries, and can only spend it at walmart, these are just my parents rules. Thank you to who ever reads this, and any help, and/or insight is greatly appreciated.
