Should I just give up on trying to be fit and slender?

I gained weight since my dad passed almost three months ago (March 2022). I’ve gained 20 pounds. I ate a lot of junk food and stuffed myself. I was 237lbs and now I’m 257lbs. My doctor is going to be pissed.
I mean I failed my classes because I couldn’t keep up with it since I didn’t keep up with it. I did catch up eventually but I failed my classes. My grandparents got on me and said even though death is hard, I STILL need to focused on my education and I have a job to do. I need to get it together and the children don’t wanna see me crying all the time.
A month later I lost my job because I wasn’t watching the kids carefully and some got injured. I lost my job and that’s when the weight decide to pile up and I just sat in my room depressed, crying and begging for my dad back. I did go outside for walks but I curled up everyday crying and my grandparents forced me to go get some air and that’s no way to live. I gave up try to be slender. I’m now 257lbs and still 5’11” 3/4

I'm so very sorry that you lost your dad. It's completely understandable that you feel out of control -- you're grieving. You're not doing anything wrong. Don't feel you have to give up on being slender -- don't worry about your weight right now when you're in such pain. You'll be stronger in time, and you'll tackle it then,
