How do you block out the voice that keeps saying "it's pointless and too late"

For some background, I graduated high school about a month and a half ago and despite trying to prioritize getting in shape over the summer, I really haven't lost more than a few pounds. I went to the gym maybe twice a week throughout my final two years of high school but because I would stress-eat a lot and had terrible eating habits, it didn't really have much of an impact. I also never really committed myself until a few months ago so that's another reason I didn't see an effect. One of the main reasons I gained a lot of weight in high school was because I struggled with anxiety and depression so I never really prioritized my health. After I got into my dream university, I realized I had to make a change and decided I was going to start making an effort to lose weight back in April, but...I just keep giving up. Every time I workout, I get exhausted and feel so out of shape and can't stop thinking about how it's too late. I really wanted to lose weight before university but I'm moving in in less than 3 weeks and it feels like it's never going to happen now. I had a terrible high school experience but I really want to put myself out there in uni and make friends but I think no one will want to be friends with me because of my weight which discourages even more when I'm working out. The thing is, I know I'm not trying hard enough. My eating habits are better but I still snack a lot and while sometimes I'm able to push through during workouts, I end up giving up more than I'd like to admit because of how futile it feels. Anyway, I don't want to keep giving up but I'm so exhausted so I was wondering if anyone had any tips?
