measure diameter starting with a certain point

I used the code suggested by @Image Analyst to calculate the shortest distance between the boundaries. Now I need to measure the diameter of the larger blob, but most importantly, I want to start measuring at the same point we measured the shortest distance and plot the diameter as a coloured line over the binary image.
the code i used to measure the shortest distance
% Define object boundaries
numberOfBoundaries = size(binaryImage, 1);
boundary1 = boundaries{1};
boundary2 = boundaries{2};
boundary1x = boundary1(:, 2);
boundary1y = boundary1(:, 1);
x1=1;
y1=1;
x2=1;
y2=1;
overallMinDistance = inf; % Initialize.
index1 = 1;
index2 = 1;
for k = 1 : length(boundary2)
boundary2x = boundary2(k, 2);
boundary2y = boundary2(k, 1);
% For this blob, compute distances from boundaries to edge.
allDistances = sqrt((boundary1x - boundary2x).^2 + (boundary1y - boundary2y).^2);
% Find closest point, min distance.
[minDistance(k), indexOfMin] = min(allDistances);
if minDistance(k) < overallMinDistance
overallMinDistance = minDistance(k);
x1 = boundary1x(indexOfMin);
y1 = boundary1y(indexOfMin);
x2 = boundary2x;
y2 = boundary2y;
index2 = k;
index1 = indexOfMin;
end
end
% Report to command window.
fprintf('narrowest rim length = %f at index %d of boundary 1 and index %d of boundary 2.\n', ...
overallMinDistance, index1, index2);
hFig = figure;
h1 = subplot(1, 1, 1);
imshow(binaryImage);
title('Narrowest rim', 'FontSize', 10);
hFig.WindowState = 'maximized';
hold on;
% Draw a line between point 1 and 2
NarrowestRim=line(h1, [x1, x2], [y1, y2], 'Color', 'y', 'LineWidth', 3);
