I've been friends with her since high school. Back then, we used to be a little chubby, but still within the normal BMI. I lost around 10-15 pounds in college because I really didn't feel happy with the body I had. She, on the other hand, started packing on the pounds. Today, she is obese. We're the same height, 5'5". I'm 128 pounds, she's 200 pounds.
So anyway, she was diagnosed with PCOS last year when she went to her gynecologist because of irregular periods. Her gynecologist told her to lose weight. She still hasn't lost any weight since then. Yesterday, she told me her periods still aren't normal and I told her to go back to her gynecologist.
She replied, "My mom thinks me being fat is causing all this just because my gynecologist told me to lose weight. Whatever happened to just being happy and healthy?"
"If being fat is messing with your period then you obviously aren't healthy."
She didn't get upset, thankfully, because she's used to me being very blunt when it comes to these things. I gave her some weight loss advice and exercise tips after that. She didn't give me the usual fatlogic, so I hope I made enough of an impression for her to change her hamplanet ways.

So logically a family of planets would be a solar system

I've got one of those, but thankfully I'm just a lonely asteroid among the planets.
