Gemma Collins has spoken out about her struggles with weight after having an underactive thyroid and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).The 41 year old opened up her “constant battle” with her weight recently after being diagnosed with PCOS, a condition that effects how ovaries work, which can lead to weight gain as the body becomes more resistant to insulin.
Gemma said “its not been easy for me” as she discussed her weight issues in a new interview. Speaking at her Essex home, the TOWIE star told The Mirror: “It’s not as easy for me, hormonally, to keep my weight stable all the time.
People don’t understand. “I’ve got under active thyroid, I've got PCOS, It just means that I have to work extra hard at [keeping fit and working out].” Gemma listed US singer Lizzo as a great body-positive figure who inspires her to “love herself”, and hopes she can do the same for others in sharing her story.
She said: “Look at Lizzo, she’s a real inspiration to me. I’m loving myself along that [fitness] journey and you now that’s a real important message.
