A time to heal

I have Hypothyroidism, I know I've talked about it effecting my weight before, but I haven't really gone too deep into what this really means for me.

Those are my safe places, my places to feel better - even though it's only momentarily. I lose all my motivation to do..anything really and it just spirals. How do I get myself back on track? Is it worth it? Will I ever be where I want to be? These are all the questions I
