Thank you guys!

I don't know what to do. I don't have a nutritionist, and my primary care basically just tells me to surf the web and find something that fits with me. That's not real advice at all for someone who has all these issues, including thyroid, chronic fatigue, some strange thing causing my MONO% and other blood labs to repeatedly (this is the 3rd time now in 2 years) score abnormal. My blood sugar was really high, but then again, they never asked me to fast. I asked them, and they said I didn't need to. So I'm not sure if my blood sugar reading is accurate.

All in all, I need to figure out what is wrong with me, and why my weight goes up and down. Just a few months back I was at around 163. I'm not sure how it spiked up to 195, though when I last weighed myself, I had a coat and heavy boots on. I just used the scale in the waiting room at the VA, so I'm probably more like around 190 or 185, which is what I last weighed in my apartment without clothes on.

I don't weigh myself every day. I weigh myself like once every 3 months, LOL. My doctors don't even weigh me, which I think is odd. I honestly think my doctors are ignoring my needs out here.

I am asking local friends if they'd be willing to walk with me outside. That's safe enough to socialize and get exercise and have protection with another person walking with me.

I'm not going to restrict my diet until after the holidays. I need to enjoy the holidays before I can diet. LOL.
