Suggest Ways To Lose Weight

Okay, so... for the past few years I ve been struggling with my weight. I m 266 pounds and I m 18. I ve asked my doctor for fluid pills, because I have fluid on my legs, and as they put it, it s the hardest fluid to get off. But when I asked them about fluid pills, they denied me, and said that they feel like I ll gain the weight back, which I know I wont. I m starting to get very depressed, like to the point of suicide. I m tired of having my weight thrown in my face by my father and mother, my father has called me a fat ass before, and every time my mom gets mad at me, she throws my weight in my face. Even my brothers talk about me. I m tired. I ve been eating fruits and drinking more water, I ve been really trying. My bottom leg is so abnormally huge, and so is the meat on my back. I don t know what to do anymore
