@TAB I sleep too much too. I can't remember what I said about work, it's been stressful. I just try to leave it at work. The work environment is toxic. I'm working tomorrow. I have another job just for a little bit (casual over Christmas period).
I'm trying to get these four things sorted (basics)
Fuel for the body
Activity
Screen time
Sleep

@TAB Yes been there a while. Yes, it's a pretty toxic environment.
Sorry to hear about your struggles with weight. It's not easy to lose weight and other factors too. Do you have a meal plan to follow? I'm trying to lose weight too.

@TAB I thought that might be what I said, I read something recently about people leaving jobs- it's not the jobs (people leave) but the managers. I will just see what happens. New job is with the Gov 32 hours per week and then have to try to fit in my current job except I will not be doing extra hours there until the new year.
Let's try to help each other- take better care of ourselves. My specialist gave me the weight loss injection, but I never used it. I got a sample of it (first month). I think it might be the same injection you are on. I think, it costs 375 per month. Thyroid and medication can really affect your weight, and also to lose weight. Have you thought about other options?

You need protein too.
I like routine too.
Just make small changes and weight yourself each week.
Go for small walks to begin with.
See how you go this week.

I'm off to bed here soon.
Thyroid affects weight etc. Ask the dr to check for any other underlying causes. But thyroid is a big one. Do you have medication for thyroid? I think, my skin check, should be ok. That is cold, not sure what is here, I will check. It is 15 degrees overnight.
