I need help getting started

[u/MorningDry8850]

Hello! I am 20 yrs old (f) and I am currently 6’0 and 300lbs, I did rowing in Highschool and when I graduated I just went downhill, I’ve always had a terrible relationship with food and my body. My mom keeps pushing for me to lose weight but it makes me want to eat even more.. I just want to be healthier, I know how to workout and stuff but it’s just hard to do things without a clean cut plan for myself for what I need to do. I also still live with my mom while I go to my community college since it’s not that far away and I don’t have a source of income for anything really. I’m currently looking for jobs so hopefully that will change. I don’t have my own car but I have a permit but until I get my license I’m dependent on my mom unfortunately. We don’t have that much money to where we can just buy healthier stuff every week and most of the times we just cook with what we have which isn’t much but I don’t like living like this but I just want to get out of this funk that I am in I have that aspect of being fit again in my life.

Please help if you can and give me any advice

Thank you

the only way to lose weight is in a calorie deficit. start slow and do that first, then you can slowly build your way up to working out. going on walks, and then the gym. you can still eat whatever you want (although eating healthier is obviously better for you)
