Struggling with weight loss

Hi, I’m 28 y/o girl who has been struggling with my relationship with food (mainly sugar) almost my entire life.

The past 5 years in my life have been very stressful where I have dealt with awful jobs and sicknesses, it all made me gain a lot more weight to the point that I got diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension which mostly affects overweight people, I got the diagnosis in November 2023 and have since then gone from 97 kg to 84 kg, as recommended by my doctor I need to lose weight and go back to a healthy bmi which is around 69 kg for my 169 cm height, which was my weight in 2020, but I keep ending up binging on sugar which make me gain weight up and down and I can’t seem to go under 84 kg clearly for this reason.

I’ve always struggled with body issues and weight problems since I was a kid due to constant bullying at school and even at times in my own household, it made me turn to sugar and sweets a lot to where I’d constantly eat sweets secretly, problem is that it’s continuing till this day. I have such a strong addiction to sugar and it’s my only escape from my head, momentarily.

I’m a very lonely person who barely has friends, but I also enjoy loneliness due to being very introverted by nature, it just hits sometimes. I’m mostly just to myself or with my husband who comforts me a lot but he shouldn’t have to carry all of my burden yknow.

I want to get my life together and care for myself and love myself finally, I just don’t know where to start and I have no one to talk to who can fully understand what I’m going through without judging. is there anyone out there who’s has similar experiences and that could give any advice on self love and care and how to battle sugar addiction, I want to just lose this weight and be healthy again but I know it won’t stop there, body issues will be there even if I’m overweight or underweight. Any advice on where to start?

Thanks ❤️
