Glitter Jelly:
Haven't been able to lose any weight because I've been sleeping at my bf most nights which means I'm still waking up and eating at night. Will see an endocrinologist in December, I'm almost hoping something is wrong with my health so this can be medically fixed. I feel so uncomfortable in everything, I dread going out of my home now. But staying in means I'm moving even less and I need to start exercising even if it's just walking more... My bf says I need to jog and walking isn't exercise, but I have bad memories of PE classes from being a fat child/teenager...

To be completely blunt your bf is flat out wrong there, any type of movement outside of your normal routine is exercise. And it's actually better if you start off slow, that way it doesn't shock your system too bad and ruin your moral. I would recommend going on walks throughout your neighborhood (or a treadmill if you have access to one) and time your walks. Each time you do this you want to try to walk for a little longer than the time before. Then once your body adjusts to this start speed walking for sections of it. Speed walk until you physically can't anymore and then walk for as long as you feel safe. Then after this do the same thing but with jogging, and then after that you can try sprinting. And there's a reason people refer to this as a fitness journey. Don't get discouraged if it takes months if not a year to reach the goals that you set for yourself. You'll make progress eventually.

At this point just going outside and face the world in my current body is a struggle. I can walk for a long time but even at my thinnest I get really winded whenever I run. I really don't want to be the neighborhood's out of shape fat girl running... The less attention I draw to myself, the better.

That's definitely understandable, I've had quite a few good friends of mine in your position so I know what it's like. I will say most passerbys aren't going to take notice of you or hell even remember what you look like after 5 minutes. You could try investing in a treadmill or something to keep in your home so you don't have to go outside, or you could try out a gym membership. It depends on what gym you go to, but at my gym at least it seems like it's mostly a lot of people trying to lose weight themselves so you wouldn't have to worry about not blending in.
