Over eating question. Will I lose weight?

Question

I overeat. And I can't stop.  I am disabled because I hurt my leg last year and I have screws in it and it hurts. I am 298 pounds so this weight is hurting my leg to the point I can barely walk. I have zero energy.  So back to my question.  I love salad.  If instead of overeating on mac n cheese I overeat on salad with only a tiny amount of a variety of dressing.  Will I lose weight.  At least enough to get some energy back so I can walk better and then focus on not over eating.  Because im starving.  I am starving.  All the time and I just want to cry because of it.
Update: I don't eat sweets or drink anything sweet. I only drink water and it's been like this for years.  So my weight loss will be even harder since I've already cut out most bad foods.  And the salads I'm talking about are the pre-made salads.  They're about 110 calories per portion and they have 4 portions so 440 calories per salad. It is lettuce carrots cabbage meat a variety of veggies and a tiny container of dressing.
Update #2 
I don't eat in the morning and normally don't eat until 2pm. What if I eat salad and drink water only. Two salads a day so it'd be like 900 calories a day.
Also can't afford physical therapy. I dont have insurance.  I can't exercise until I get some weight off. Simply because I don't have the energy to do anything right now.  There is no energy.  I barely get out of my bed.  Anyone know of any vitamins that help?  Maybe vitamin d or something?

Answer

Vitamin b-12 will make you not want to eat as much and give you energy.

Answer

You can only lose fat by being calorie deficient, it doesn’t matter if you’re eating salad. If you’re eating 1000 calories of salad that’s the same as eating 1000 calories of anything else, yes it will help you feel better since you’re getting greens instead of grease but it won’t help lose weight. If you have the money try getting a nutritionist to come help you out! Try a 1200 calorie diet high protein low carb it will aid in weight loss. Stop drinking any other drink but water. Only water ! You can even drink sparkling but no soda. You can also drink unsweetened tea it will help flush toxins

Answer

You need more than just salads to survive. But replacing a meal with a salas is a great start. Females need an absolute minimum of 1200 calories a day. And you need carbs at least 45% to a max of 65% of your calories should come from carbs. Limit simple carbs for sure (sweets, fried, white breads), your carbs should be WHOLE GRAIN carbs with a lot of fiber, fruits and vegetables. Start taking a daily vitamin that has B's in it to help with mood. Water is your best friend, drink more of it. If your knee hurts with impact have you tried swimming? Try looking up rehab exercises that you can start from home. Like you can do leg extensions on the couch, instead of squats maybe to stand ups - sit down and stand up repeatedly adjusting which leg you use as main support. If you limit yourself to just 900 calories a day from salad alone you are at a very high risk of failing and reverting back. It takes small adjustments, once one becomes habit add another positive change.

Answer

Research how to properly eat. Starving yourself till 2 pm is crazy unhealthy and will do the opposite of what you want it too. Drink a cup of green tea every morning (green tea helps regulate your metabolism) drink a glass of water with lemon juice, cayenne, and honey at least once a day. Cayenne is your best friend by the way. You have to fuel your body with good foods. Whole grains, proper protein, enough fruits and veggies. Lots of leafy green veggies too. Don’t do a specific diet. You have to make it a lifestyle. But you absolutely cannot restrict yourself. No sodas though! Do restrict yourself in that. Sweeten things with honey because not only does it help bees! But it’s GREAT for you. 
Swim! Swim! Swim! It’s so easy on your joints and it helps you get a great cardio workout in! 
Look up DDP yoga on YouTube. There’s a veteran named Arthur who couldn’t walk without two crutches because he was a former paratrooper I believe so his body was super banged up. But yoga did a literal miracle for him and he got to the point where now he can run. Yoga is AMAZING. 
You can definitely do this and heal your body you just have to stop making excuses and put the PROPER work in. Do the research!

Answer

Unfortunately if you just eat salad, you will continue to be hungry. Eating too little, for some people, can prevent them.from losing weight.
Your constant hunger can be as a result.of a number of things, some you may be able to control, some you may not be able to control....so start with what you can.
Mac and cheese is loaded with carbs...and carbs that digest quite easily. This means your blood sugar will spike high after you eat. Your body will then produce a ton of insulin in response and then your blood sugar will drop quickly and likely briefly dip below normal until your body corrects itself. It's at this point that you start to feel hungry again and crave carbs. If you continue to load your system with carbs...this will be your cyclical response. It is a nightmare for your body to continuously go through this.
So..stop the Cyle...
Start with a balanced plate. Using the plate method of a half a plate of salad/veggies, a quarter protein (meats/tofu/ and legumes..but not too many legumes), and a quarter plate of carbohydrate ( no more than 1 cup/ 250 ml per meal -pasta, rice, potatoes, fruit, dairy). This is a super easy way to start portioning. It isn't the perfect solution, but it's and easy start to getting your food on track. Protein is known to be a satiety macronutrient...so make sure you have enough in each meal.
Best of luck...it will be a hard journey...but a worthwhile one!

Answer

Sometimes an extreme diet restriction can have an adverse effect. The best thing to do is have a healthy balance of protein, good fats and veggies. As a competitive swimmer I can tell you  that water activity is absolutely amazing for you. It’s good that you are drinking water, just make sure it’s enough water. If you are lacking energy doing a little bit each day to start out will help with your endurance. Blueberries are a delicious superfood! Stay positive! You can do it!

Answer

The best way to lose weight is to build muscle. I know your leg bothers you, but there are other exercises you can do that will not put weight on your leg like swimming or arm exercises. Eating only salads isn’t sustainable as a lifestyle change. 
To be honest, it sounds like you may need to hook up with a physical therapist or occupational therapist and a dietician. 
Sweets and sodas aren’t the only source of “sugars.” You referred to macaroni and cheese...all those carbohydrates convert into sugar. 
If you like to cook, but don’t want to do a TON of work, you can buy pre-cut veggies. I like to roast them. Like my lunch today was roasted sweet potatoes and red onions and I added a little blue cheese for a savory element. You have to keep things interesting for your tastebuds. I eat healthy, but eating salads all the time would get really boring lol...
