if you hear her story, growing up, she did struggle with her weight. The classic eating disorders teenagers seem to have of being rather restrictive or even bulimia. I think...don't quote me on that. I think there's some level of some public fat figures that have always struggled with the idea of food that causes them to gain weight. I don't see it is an accident they just gained the weight but rather something they've always struggled with and their sense of coming in terms with no longer doing the "diets" or struggling with food is almost always weight gain. Keeping up a normal weight is not about the latest diet but rather a series of choices made daily. It's not that hard...   I am also guessing it might have been weight gain college students have and a mixture of alcohol. Holy crap, I have seen some people who were a 10 a few years ago but because of their drinking, are overweight and gross. People should drink and have fun but geez, their choices of alcohol really did a number on them.
