PCOS or not, those statements are true for most people. At least everyone I have worked with!!!
I find human weight ironic as everything else takes years to build up and a moment to destroy- but the human body gains fast and losing it is difficult at best.
Not even looking so much at the scale, size and self-esteem are very much linked in almost every culture in varying ways. But the one thing I have noticed, with females in particular, is that it seems less about size per se and more about ration and proportion.
To illustrate, I have two ladies I work with who are both about 5'4", about 185 lbs in my estimation. Their weight is distributed very, very differently. One is almost perfectly round, no discernable difference between chest, waist, hips. One is proportioned with a greater difference of the measurements, "hour-glass". Guess which one has fewer body issues?
Even then, how you carry weight is indicative of your health and som epredisposition to illness. "Apples" versus "pears".
