half and half...

one week changes alot...i'm up 2.8 (i think), but TOM is here...not really caring...my neck/shoulder/back is giving me alot of aggravation including massive headaches, so i haven't worked out the past two days...also the headache could be stress related...
back before hubbys 39th birthday in December i forced him to go to the Doctor as i married him till death do us part, and i want that to be a ripe old age cuz gosh darnit i really really like him and want him to be around cuz i'm selfish!!! i wanted him to get as many tests as possible (a full meal deal as we said...lol)
now my hubby is not just overweight or obese...he's in the morbidly obese category and has been for some time...his mother has type two diabetes and his brother has had type one diabetes since the age of 12...and if you didn't know my dad died two years ago this June due to complications from Type two diabetes (one of the main reasons i undertook this journey called weightloss as i do not want to rob my children of my presence before i should be)...thus i really really worry about my hubby's health but you can't force someone on a diet unless they want it...
me being on WW has helped with the changing of our food choices tenfold, but he still wasn't losing any weight (i thought maybe his portion sizes and lack of breakfast was to blame)...
anywho...he missed his followup appointments a couple of times and it bothered me a lot...i thought he just wasn't ready to hear whatever the doctor was going to say...finally i made his 3rd appointment and have been beating him over the head for him to remember to go today and he made it!!!
this is the best part now....
he has hypothyroidism...yep~! badabing-badaboom and one pill everyday (probably forever) and he'll be fine...every other test was perfect...in fact the dr. was amazed at his cholestoral level (i think he thought for sure with his weight as high as it is, that he was supposed to be thru the roof or something)...but his level is that of a 15 year old!!! i mean perfectly perfect in every test!!!
i feel like i just inherited a million dollars cuz i get my hubby back healthy!!! and for the rest of our lives...
so the original plan the dr had for him to go on a metabolism booster is scrapped for now...we'll see what happens to his weight once his thyroid starts working the way it was intended...
i so want to hug the doctor!!!!
soon we can say good bye to sleep apnea, joint pain, fatigue, 5 X clothing...omg, i'm just so pumped!!!
needless to say a bit of my headache is gone...
now i have a dr appt next wednesday and i'm gonna ask to see a specialist about a breast reduction (i have wanted one forever as i'm certain most of my back/shoulder/neck things are due to my breast size...i always get pain when i put a sports bra on...)
well....off to take some robax platinum!
