Thyroid, and things...

So, I saw my thyroid doctor on Monday. I don't have to go see him for another two years... *sigh* Thyroid problems aren't gone, but they aren't bad enough for medication or surgery... My thyroid is still larger than normal, but not nearly as large as he expected it to be (I've been trying to tell people for years that I have a big neck... now that I've lost all the weight in my neck, I can prove that I really do just have a big neck!), so, he wasn't concerned about that. I have 5+ nodules, but they're all small (My largest was 0.8 cm... 1 cm is when they start considering biopsy), which means there's almost no chance of cancer, and no point in biopsying. He also said that they have a "comet-tail" appearance, which apparently is also an indicator that they're all benign, and there's no point in biopsying. So, as he said, "Chill out, and wait." :) Sounds good to me... one less doctor's appointment I have to worry about.

Monday, while I was walking around at work, I had a co-worker stop me who hadn't seen me full-body in a while (I sit at a desk). She was speechless. She just kept gesturing to my whole body with her hand. Apparently I look much smaller than when she last saw me. Hehe. She and another co-worker who happened to walk up and ask what was so amazing, were FLOORED that I've lost 120# (now 121#! :D)... They said that they couldn't believe how much I had lost, and one of them said that she never would have thought that I had that much to lose. :)

I'm still not where I need to be, and I still need to lose 70-90 more pounds. It's coming off slowly, but slow is good. It's giving my skin time to catch up.

I was talking to my sister this past weekend about that. Apparently the person I mentioned that I thought was jealous had said that part of the reason it's hard to believe that I lost so much weight is that you can't see the saggy skin. Well, trust me... I have it. If I get brave... I'll take some pictures. I won't take any in my undies... I'm not THAT brave. But I might pull up my shirt, and show my belly, and maybe take one in a tank or a super short sleeve so you can see the arms. My thighs aren't too pretty either, but, I'd have to have someone help me take that pic... we'll see. I'm not a fan of my body right now, as I mentioned, but, it's my body. It's healthier than it was before. :)

So, how's your week so far? :)
