Why did you include the eating disorders group in the list?

Note that insurance tables tend to run 10 pounds to light. If you
used insurance tables to set your goal then you actually need to
lose ten not twenty. Just how did you select your goal? It
doesn't seem far enough from a practical goal that you'd include
the eating disorder group.

I cannot exercise because I'm in a wheelchair.

Exercise is relative to one's current fitness level. Don't get duped
by the falacy that it has to be in the gym to count as exercise.
Any level of movement that stretches your current level of fitness
is exercise no matter that level of fitness. This could be from best
efforts to move your limbs around to control your power chair with
your hands instead of your tongue all the way through doing a 10K
run because you're accustomed to doing 5K runs. What you can
do is what you can do and it counts in your own context.

What is your daily calorie intake and what do you eat to keep your taste
buds interested when you've cut back on food or calories?

What I do to keep my tastes interested is low carb not low fat.
You did include a low carb support group in your posting after all.
Not only does low carb work as well as low fat, I think the foods
taste better and they are just as filling even if they aren't as
bulky.

I eat All Bran with skim milk in the AM and at least two apples a day. I
drink four or five glasses of water *a day, some decaf tea and two Metamucil
cocktails. *I also take several B-Complex vitamins. I ran into some 90
calorie "garden burgers" and 230 frozen dinners. *I hardly ever use salt.
