18F desperate to lose 100lbs, no luck, seeking advice.

This may be a little long. So to start I gave PCOS and it causes insulin resistance in my case. I was diagnosed at 16. When i hit puberty I started to show signs as it starts within childbearing age. I started to gain over the years and as I'm ashamed to say I'm at my highest weight, 264. I have exercised religiously, taken pills given by a specialist, gotten sick and depressed from the pills, calorie counted. Over and over and over. I feel like I'll never be "normal" again. That doctor told me I'll struggle with weight my whole life. I'll never forget that moment, it stuck with me. I want to shatter those words and fight them, I want to lose the weight and feel beautiful, look beautiful, and be healthy most of all. I have an undiagnosed condition which affects my joints. I'm currently trying to get diagnosed and get help but I feel like im racing against time to lose this weight. I don't want to become immobile, i don't want to become more unhealthy, and unhappy. I don't want my heart to get worse or to have diabetes. (I am at a higher risk for heart disease uterine cancers and diabetes due to PCOS.) My father bought $100 worth of veggie steamers (9oz bags about 150-250 calories a bag.) Along with some simple frozen meals made with weight loss in mind. (Low calorie) i dont eat red meats often at all maybe two to three times a month. Dont consume alot of fish. Turkey and chicken is something i have decent amounts of but not always. I eat my veggies well, I love vegetables I always have. I eat fruits like oranges, strawberries, blackberries, bananas and kiwis. Apples are some of my favorite as well. I was told to start 1400-1500 calories a day by my doctor as well. High intensity exercise can be terrible for a woman with my disease as it releases the stress hormone Cortisol, my diseases enemy. I was told try yoga, try cardio. I'd love to swim but i just can't to swim. Yoga on the other hand i have YouTube and same with cardio. I am 18F and im 5'8 if that helps. I also want to add that i can eat a lot of food because my stomach and brain don't work together well and can't release the hormone that says "stop eating you're getting full" I can't feel full unless lets say, I stuff myself until i want to puke. I just can't. I need help. I'm suffering in this body. ANY TIPS WILL HELP TREMENDOUSLY Thank you.
