Another thing, is that I am so much more likely to fight to keep my weight under control. Whether I had PCOS or not, I probably would have weight issues, and eventually suffer the consequences. (my mom and sister have horrible weight issues- I'm the "fit" gal in my house and I tip in over 200) This motivates me to loose weight. Being overweight multiplies your risk for things (like diabetes) by maybe 2 or so percent depending on how overweight you are. PCOS multiplies it by 7-10 percent. The combination of those, makes me sure that I have to be careful about pervention. |
