I had read that several time - do a search on "Posh" or "Beckham" on the boards and you will likely find more threads about her and PCOS.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I think that I read that during an interview she might have attributed her thinness to PCOS. I think that there were a variety of reactions to this - PCOS is not generally thought to be a cause of thinness by most of us (sort of the opposite) - although I think that PCOS in "ThinCysters" might be particularly misunderstood. I sort of think that it is positive any mention PCOS gets and I think it is brave of her to be open about it. (You sort of have to ask yourself if you would choose to be open about it if you were in her situation - even though I think it is the right thing - I am not sure I would ). I also would not be surprised if there was a women with undiagnosed out there somewhere fat or thin who was a little weight obsessed and did a search on "PCOS" based on that comment - and found at least some of the answers she was looking for.

I really do wonder what her treatment plan is given the fact that she looks so good and presumably has great resources available to her for managing PCOS. Maybe she knows things that the rest of us don't know!
