Don't know where to start.
DD is 25
Never had any good friends.
Never had a boyfriend.
She has lots going for her, good job, pretty, fabulous hair and very witty and funny however she is a size 18/20 . She has PCOS I think this contributes to her weight going by how her weight is distributed on her body i.e. Huge hips and thighs but small waist, large bust and upper arms. She really has the body of a middle aged woman and not a young 25 Year old.
She is very unhappy in her failure to meet someone and tries her best to meet people but as her friendship group is restricted she doesn't have a lot of opportunity to socialise.
I just feel distraught for her she has so much to offer but I feel her weight holds her back. She just never fitted in as she was always big and awkward even as a child.
She is becoming depressed about her weight. She eats healthy all week and yes relaxes at the weekend but does not stuff her face she goes to gym 3/4 times a week to different classes like circuits and boxercise.
I'm beginning to despair that she will ever meet someone and be able to do all the things other young people do. Holidays, cinema, meeting for coffee or shopping. She has to rely on me or her sister to do these things with which is not great for her self esteem.
Has anyone any experience of PCOS and weight?
What advice can I give her to build her self confidence I've really tried everything.
She really is such a lovely person but for whatever reason life has not been fair with her 😕
