Struggling on where to start with my weight loss journey

Hello all,

I am a 5’2.5” female weighing about 220lbs. I’m hoping to lose at least 100lbs and possibly more. My current measurements are (as long as I did them right) : hips: 50, stomach: 51, chest: 44, bicep: 16, thigh: 26.5. My weight is currently an estimate as my scale batteries are low. I wear a 2X and I am just very uncomfortable and tired all the time. I’m attending therapy and taking 20mg of celexa.

I’m really struggling on where to start with all the conflicting information and with my life. I’m a night shift NICU nurse and at my hospital we’re required to work 1-2 overtime shifts/per month, but due to loans, debt and other financial issues, I typically work 1-2 overtime shifts per week. They are 12 hour overnight shifts (typically more like 13hour shifts, 6:30pm-7:30 am). So my few nights off a week all I want to do is stay in bed and sleep and Netflix binge because of my depression and anxiety. I do have a major carb and Coca Cola addiction. I know these are just excuses and I need to get over it and work hard but any tips on getting motivated, healthy meal prep for picky eaters (I’m very picky), I’d greatly appreciate. Sleep is so important to me, especially since being up all night is unnatural to most people, i cherish my sleep so I can be wide awake all night looking over the babies in my care. So I’m struggling on if I should cut my sleep short and go to the gym after work before bed or if I should only workout on my off days and focus on meal prep on my off days?

Any advice on where to begin would be greatly appreciated! I am paying for a gym membership through my hospital, I just haven’t been going (which is bad for my finances I know, it’s only $20/month and they offer free group classes every day).
