19F, though I identify as nonbinary, they/them pronouns, please. I'm 5'6" and roughly 240 lbs and I hate my body more and more every day. Food is usually my only comfort and I am both lazy and unmotivated. I deeply and truly do want to lose weight but it's a huge struggle suffering from bipolar disorder. I start calorie counting, dieting, and/or working out when I'm manic and motivated and then I realize the diet is extremely depressing and I fall back into a depressive episode. I don't want to limit myself in what foods I eat, I feel like good-tasting food is an important part of the human experience. I know I need to lose weight, my family is constantly on me about it, but I don't know how to bypass the hurdles I face. I don't know where to start or what to do. I know the main things are food and exercise but when it comes to food, I still live with my mom and do not choose the groceries, also as I said before I don't like limiting what I can eat (I'm okay with limiting how *much* I eat though if I can gain the motivation), and I don't make requests of my mother because she bullies me whenever I try to be healthy. When it comes to exercise I am unsure of what to do, my mom tells me to go on walks, but I'm not comfortable being alone in my neighborhood. Nor am I comfortable with working out or doing anything around my mom. I know it probably all sounds like excuses and I might be a lost cause, but if you bothered to read this and have advice for me, I thank you from the deepest depths of my heart.
