Can you help with my small notebook? Many thanks in advance

Good day to you!
How are you doing? What's the weather like where you are? Here, it is very frosty and gloomy outside.
Unfortunately, it's very cold in my room as the heating is bad and the windows are old and let cold air enter the room.That's why I am wearing a jacket and warm tights when I am at home.
I came home about than an hour ago.. When i got home i was really hungry and made something to eat which i wolfed down. I gained some kilos and the confirmation of that is that today I was told that I look fatter. I think my problem is that I like to eat white bread and usually I eat about a kilo a day. I know that white bread has a high calorific value and I am trying to reduce my consumption of it but so far no difference to my weight. So for dinner, I had a meager meal of yesterdays buckwheat, chickpeas and a soup cooked with beans and potatoes.
Now I'm going to find some energy to do household chores.
Waiting for good news from you

TED talks

Recently, when I commuting to school, I've been listening to TED talks. It's a little bit difficult to understand without English caption, I think just listening without understanding could be helpful to improve my comprehension and pronunciation skills.
In reality, I think my listening skill has improved a bit, even though I've only been listening to TED talks while commuting for about 1 to 2 weeks.

I love TED talks topics and their ideas. I'll keep trying to listen it to them and and when i have more time I will try to listen to the talks with English subtitles on my computer. This way I could learn more words and understand different topics more clearly/easily.

about listening

Although I've been learning English for many years, I can only still read some simple news stories and speak a little English , but when I watch English dramas, i really struggle really hurts me a lot, because/as I find it is hard to understand what they are talking about.

I use English subtitles when watching English television, what a tready? / I feel like using subitles counts as cheating but it helps me to understand what they are saying. I really love the American British ( ;) ) English accent very much/a lot. 

Oh, another thing is that I find it a little diffucult to understand people from USA when we chat online, I guess I can't get the meaning unless I talk to him from begining.
