I would be talking about weight control on a purely health based standpoint, with no concern of aesthetics in this current topic.
There are proven health benefits to weight control which I needn't link to you. Everyone, of course, should do what makes them happiest in that regard and never give into real, or imagined pressures.

Like I say, it may or may not be a struggle which people may or may not be aware of, in comparison to daily cravings that may or may not be felt by the opposite gender, potentially, on a daily basis.
Androgen signalling and its role in eating disorders and android obesity is actually quite interesting. Interactions of sex hormones and neuroendocrinological mechanisms in both men and women is actually becoming a more actively researched and funded field..
Isn't the oestrogen in HRT meant to counteract weight gain and deposition of abdominal fat in menopause?
Android obesity
