Hey so im 21 years old ive been trying to lose weight for YEARS ! and recently ive syarted going to the gym more often but not as often as i should lol. But my biggest problem is food. Im an awesome cook and so are my siblings and i just cant seem to stay away from fried foods and such. I eat french fries ALL the time. I work in a bar and im on a budget. So the cheapest things on the menu are fries. Also, i dont make much money and i feel like ive been in this funk for a while. My last check was $200 then ally bills and rent were due so im broke. I live with my parents and 2 of my other siblings and its so hard to eat healthy. I meal prep but this paycheck i just couldnt afford it. My brother always buys the food in the house and its never healthy. But i dont want to tell him how to spend his money. So i use my own whenever i have money to spare. What do i do to gain some self control and to budget. Also ive felt very alone throughout my weightloss. So far ive gone from 156 to 148 pounds. But like i said ive been in a funk where all i want to do is sleep

You're putting up a lot of blocks before you get going. If you keep that mentality, then it more than likely you will give up or stop.
Maybe get the family involved in meal planning/budgeting. Buy foods that last and make meals that will do for two days. If you are buying fried, replace this with a fruit salad. I live in Ireland, but to eat out and buy chips I could easily replace with lots of fruit.
Drink lots of water. If you're not using the gym then stop paying for it and get out walking/jogging. It is just as good.
Best of luck2
