I'm 37 married for 17 years and mother of 4, 3 boys 20,28,26 and a girl 13. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 15 years ago and type2 about 6 months ago. I am now on the path to lose weight which has been a struggle for me for many years. Feels like I have tried everything and nothing works. I just keep on keeping on. My 18 yr old will be going off to college in the fall and I am so scared to let him go. I am really having a hard time with this. Does it get any easier? The fear of him being away.....not being able to be there whenever he might need me.
