Before you spend all this time seeing hundreds of doctors, I would focus on getting your eating and exercise habits in check. Your caloric intake is all over the place. I'm curious, do you actually manually write down the calories of everything you eat? How do you know you eat under 1000 some days and 2400 calories the next day? One of the things many studies have proved over the years is that people tend to underestimate both the portion size that they eat as well as the amount of calories they consume in a day.
I'd really like to see a few days worth of what you eat, everything from snacks, to meals, to drinks, to condiments. |
And, if you are writing down what you are eating including the calories, can I suggest a spreadsheet for storing the numbers? There are a few out there on the web, and since you are doing online publishing, I am guessing you could handle a grid.
I pulled an existing one off the web, made a few changes to match what I wanted, and it makes storing food results easier for me.
After you blew out your knee, did you get physical therapy? What exercises did they reccomend for your knee? For example, can you use a reclining bike? I know I used that as a big part of my PT.
And of course, welcome to the club. We are
growing and yet
shrinking at the same time. (OD, can I copyright that phrase?)
