Struggling with my weight loss journey

It's always easy the first day. You watch what you eat, you do your workout, you feel good...

Then you promptly fall back into old habits, you step on the scale and immediately hate yourself for messing up again. That's for me, at least.

I'm currently at 250lbs (my heaviest hopefully) and I really, REALLY need to start losing weight. I have some mental health issues (mostly anxiety, depression, and ADHD to wrestle with), so using the stereotypical weight loss strategy can be hit or miss with me. I know what I'm looking for in terms of goals (starting with small drops, ten pounds here, keep it steady, drop another ten, keep it steady) because I also want to make it permanent. I'm worried I'll just gain everything back.

Some other things I gotta wrestle with; I'm an emotional eating. I eat when stressed. I also eat when I'm bored. If you know anything about ADHD, boredom is very common. I've been trying to find ways to stop myself from reaching for food constantly, but given how I work from home, it's not an easy task.

I guess I'm just asking for some guidance, strategies, things to try and see if they can help me.
