You are absolutely going to have to take your husband with you the next time you see your doctor. Let your doctor know ahead of time that he must explain the weight thing to your husband.

Your husband won't understand any of this until he has a medical professional sit him down, look him in the face and explain exactly what thyroid, metabolism etc. etc. and how it all comes together.

He doesn't get it!!! He just thinks you should be thin. That's all that is on his mind. He has to be educated.

I sincerely believe that once he "gets it"... he will be more supportive.

Maybe you and he can go on walks together in the evening. Kind of like a group walk-a-thon. Great for the legs!!!!

All the best hon and so nice to meet you!!
