New and need some motivation

My name is Yveth. I'm a 19 year old college student. Today I was told by my doctor that I am pre diabetic and have hypothyroidism, on top of that I have gastritis. My doctor recommended that I use myfitnesspal to keep track of what I eat and to help keep my insulin levels in check. I was diagnosed with insulin resistance at a very young age(9) but doctors would not give me anything to help with that problem. Because I was never helped with this I have developed many health problems. It doesn't help that I was also born overweight and have never been at a normal(healthy) weight. It's very hard trying to lose weight on my own with out much support. I would love to have some friends that would support me.
