Hey Brandie -- I also had a hysterectomy (although mine was 2 years ago at age 42) and it was far and away the best thing I could have done. Believe me, I know exactly what you mean about the excruciating pain (which I dealt with for more than 20 years) and the way that having my period each month would basically take over my life for a few days while I worried about "having an accident" at work or while running errands. (That is, when the pain didn't have me doubled over, crying in agony or vomiting because it just hurt so bad). It is great that you were able to take the visit to the ER and turn it into a call to action to get yourself healthy. I say, ROCK ON GIRL!!

You are a true inspiration! Keep up the great work...

First of all Brandie, GREAT JOB!! Second, try not to judge yourself in comparison to your husband especially when it comes to the speed of your weight loss...it's just different for guys.

I had a good 30 pounds on my husband at my heaviest weight and I remember when I finally weighed less than he does. Like Foodie's DH, my DH is tall and thin and never had a weight problem. At my heaviest I called us Spaghetti and Meatball LOL One thing I have come to realize is that he is small boned for a man, and I am large boned for a woman. We have very different body types. All that matters to me is that we both love ourselves and each other the way we are :-)

I love how honest you are about everything, Brandi...

I love how honest you are about everything, Brandie. What a great accomplishment you've already done -- over 65 lbs!! You are an inspiration. And I have been the same way with my hubby -- he's always been the bigger one. If he were to start losing weight and weigh less than me, I am sure I'd have the same feelings as you. But you know, it won't always be this way. You will get down less than him. This is just a moment in time. Just keep focusing on what you have done. It is truly amazing. :)

My husband has never had a weight problem. For several years I weighed more than him, and he is seven inches TALLER than me. That was not fun; I also felt like the guy should weigh more! He's lost a little weight and I've lost a bunch so now I think I weigh (a bit) less than him, but I think I'll never be as skinny as he is. Ah.

Brandie, I really like how you and your husband ar...
