Wings!

I am very in love with my boyfriend and we have lived together for 3 years. Recently I have put on significant weight due to hypothyroidism. Yesterday he said that it looks like I have “wings on my back” due to a new bra. Am I right to be a little hurt?!

YANBU. That is a really thoughtless comment even if it isn’t intentionally spiteful.

Yes I agree

Has he apologised?

Seems rude of him to point it out unless he meant he found it endearing?

Horrible comment. It is so hard trying to manage hypothyroidism. It was a nasty cruel comment and you have every right to feel hurt.

Yea once I called him out & said “sorry it was the wrong choice of words”

No I suppose he was doing me a favour… hmm

Yes,agree.

Are you on medication and having it optimised? I find most GP’s fairly useless at optimising, endo’s are much better. You should then shed the weight.

Thank you for your insightful comment- yes on meds and have them checked every couple months. Sorry what are endos x

@Ilovecheeseyah Endocrinologist. While my GP managed my thyroxine for years, dosing per blood results, once I got an endo to review and play around with the thyroxine I dropped around 25kg in 9 months, purely from having the thyroxine tweaked.
