I'm sorry you're going through a rough time right now, but I'm so glad that your nutritionist is awesome. It might sound silly, but google "Hidden Veggies Recipes" and you'll find a ton of recipes that let you get veggies in dishes where the other flavors disguise them. My friends who are parents to picky eaters rave. :-)

For exercise, maybe you can try some bodyweight exercises on rainy days? Jumping jacks, squats, that sort of thing. They're not easy (when I first tried them I thought I was going to pass out) but you do feel like you got a workout, even if you only do a few minutes.

Ugh, and the soda - I feel you. Do you like seltzer water? It's not a perfect (or even great) sub, but it has that fizziness...

Oh, and embrace the crockpot - slow cooker recipes are easy, and you can make several meals worth of food at a go so you don't have to cook every. single. day.

I hope I'm not being out of line, but I've gone through my own struggles with weight and body image, and these were some of the ways I found to cope.
