asking for help is so difficult

Hello MFP cyber-world :) I have been on MFP for a while now, and because I'm not familiar with posting, blogging, or the cyber-world, I never had the courage to reach out. I'm finally realizing that I could use a friend or two for support and accountability. I am 53 years old, I was thin the majority of my life till hypothyroidism packed an additional 60 pounds onto my 5'4" frame. After having a unilateral lobectomy in 2007, where a Ping-Pong ball sized non-malignant growth was removed along with the left side of my thyroid to which it was attached, it seems I am forever in a fight with my own body!! In addition to fighting hypothyroidism, I recently realized I eat my emotions! What an eye-opener this was! I have taken steps to address my compulsive eating and making some cyber-friends is part of the plan. Asking for help has always been difficult for me, but I cannot do this alone. So if you’re willing, I would like to be part of the MFP cyber-world of mutual support. Thanks for reading this post :)
