hi guys, i'm a 15yo girl and i'm severely overweight (97kg at 160cm) and trying to lose weight. I've read the faq and quick start guide and have tried to use CICO and calculated my TDEE as 2081 so restricting 500 calories gives me 1581.
here's the issue: i cannot eat that little. every day for a week i've tried to restrict that much and i can't because i'm so hungry. i've heard that teenagers have higher calorie requirements but i'm too worried to increase my limit incase i gain weight. i also struggle to not eat extra because my parents who are both obese constantly buy me extra food and make me feel guilty if i don't eat it.
i really just want to lose weight because i feel so badly about my body and want to change but i don't want to eat too little or fall into disordered eating (like eating 800 calories a day then binging) like i have in the past. could anyone give any advice ?
edit: just so everyone here is aware and doesn't assume incorrect things about my diet:
i barely ever drink soda and almost constantly drink water and try to eat a lot of fruit and i don't snack on things like chocolate throughout the day and haven't done that in a year. i am always eating at a deficit regardless also. in addition to this a large portion of my weight gain and inability to lose weight is likely due to hypothyroidism which runs in my family. when i talk about hunger i'm mentioning hunger that is causing me physical pain, not just cravings
to everyone criticising my breakfast: i feel nauseous in mornings and my breakfast is less than 300 calories and i'm not hungry after breakfast
