Anyone exercising and gaining weight?

Besides not being a cook, I've had Southern cooking all our lives, but I didn't cook. We had a maid who did all the cooking. My job was to get an education and be a lady. My friends were the same. All of us grew up that way. So I never learned to cook and never wanted to. At age 73 it's a little too late now. Every way I turn, diabetes throws up a brick wall, and it's like being locked up in a cage.
I just see it as hopeless, and I apologize for not being accepting of my situation.

@retiredteacher, You have been dealt a complicated situation. I want to say that I admire your strength in looking for help in dealing with this. You are not alone, as we are hearing more and more every day about the rise of diabetes in the population, at all ages. I am going to expect that you will be receiving some more replies.. So, hang in there, take one step at a time, and keep trying.
By the way, you are a retired teacher - so, I have to believe that you have a real strong character and a stamina for "getting it done". What would you tell a student who was experiencing this same situation? How would you encourage him/her?
