I'm 19 M, around 240 pounds, 5' 10''. I lost around 33 pounds two summers ago after being overweight for most of my life. Then covid hit, and I stopped walking every day and started eating more, and more junk food. I began taking antidepressants last December, and my weight skyrocketed to 240 pounds from 187. I have tried over and over again to lose weight, and nothing's working. I suspect that it's because I'm still on antidepressants, but I'm walking 5 days a week, and doing some pushups, crunches etc. I cut back on junk food, started intermittent fasting. I even dropped 4 pounds, but something recently has gone wrong because I'm back at 240. I hate it so much. I've never felt comfortable in my own body, and I've hated myself for as long as I can remember. I want to feel comfortable taking my shirt off at the beach, and going swimming with friends, but I'm so ashamed of myself. My parents don't make it easier. My mum is very healthy: goes walking for 2 hours each day, does intermittent fasting, eats very healthily etc. But she bakes. A lot. Like twice, three times a week. On average two cakes a week. And it's very tempting. I don't want to eat it but I find myself eating more and more of it. She doesn't seem to understand how hard it is for me to lose weight. I did mention it to her, and her response was just don't eat it. I enjoy food and baking as well so it's very hard for me to ignore a massive cake. I don't know. I guess I'm just ranting at this point. Any advice?
