Friends Needed

Hello, I am new to myfitnesspal but I have heard great things so I figured why not give it a try. I guess I'll start off by explaining why I chose to start my weight loss journey. The summer of 2016 I was going into my 8 month of working at a new job and I started to have episodes. The episodes consisted of me nearly fainting, vomitting, and being unable to stand due to excessive dizziness and sweating. My second episode nearly sent me to the ER. After that I made an appointment and got testing done. Few weeks later I was diagnosed with diabetes. I had to take it easy for a month or so before going back to work and even then I was so scared it would happen again. I decided to take some time off to really get myself together emotionally as well as physically. I don't really have a consistent support system I come from an obese family that thinks the best way to comfort or show love is through food. So I am looking for friends who understand how hard it is to finally hit rock bottom and try to swim your way back up. I would love to chat with those who are encouraging and helpful as I will do the same. It has been years since I have dieted and I am still trying to figure out where to start. Failure just isnt an option for me anymore.
