When you're heavily under the influence of carbs - when your metabolism is completely messed up, it's not unusual at all to have absolutely zero energy for exercise. There's barely enough energy to drag yourself through the minimal effort to get through a day.
Under those circumstances, starting out with 15 minutes of even very easy exercise is still commendable. Until you get your metabolic issues under control with diet, that may very well truly be the limit of your exercise abilities - and you shouldn't feel bad about it.
Another factor is that most people who have never been overweight have no idea just how much strength (and therefore energy) it takes for someone who is carrying a lot of excess weight just to walk for 15 minutes. If you put a 100 lb weight on the back of a naturally thin person, and expected them to go for a 30 minute run, they'd be exhausted within a few minutes.
