Losing hope on losing weight...

I've tried just about everything. I've avoided buying sugary drinks like lemonade and bought iced tea and water only until caving in my next grocery trip, I've tried to incorporate more vegetables into my diet only to fall back into the habit of eating carbs, and whenever I head to the gym, the commitment lasts a maximum of about a week.

I just can't seem to hold myself accountable. My busy schedule definitely doesn't help especially considering I'm a college student who works twenty hours a week, is involved in three student orgs, and is taking sixteen credit hours at the moment. Heading to drive thrus or otherwise filling my body up with carbs at home just seems like the most feasible option most days. However, I've recently been dreading myself for how lethargic I feel inside and outside of work. I know I can do better. I've struggled with my weight ever since I was a teenager. I'm currently 200 lbs, but I'm worried about gaining even more weight as my habits have only gotten worse. I need to take steps to fix this issue now. I do have plans of buying a gym membership in the summer as school ends in six weeks, but there are little things I could be doing now that just aren't working for me.

My biggest issue is not finding enough time to actually sit myself down and cook something healthy. Long 11 hour work days are the hardest because I don't always remember or have time to pack a healthier option. However, even during the school week when I'm slightly less busy, my cravings get the best of me and I'll go out to eat somewhere just because. My budget and health are both suffering, and I want to be the best version of myself I can be. I need some kind of plan, one where I can hold myself accountable and take small steps towards abandoning the bad habits I've grown too fond of over the past decade. What's worked for everyone else? Anything you've done to stop yourself from falling back into bad dietary and work out habits?
