Yeah, some asthma medications as well can make you balloon, my girlfriend's brother was on meds for his asthma and ballooned, as soon as he had to stop taking it the weight dropped in literally a month.
I know that it can be very difficult to maintain a slender figure for some people with diabetes as well, there is a problem with girls not taking their insulin to get thinner.

See, this is where the bitchy comments from both sides get you...people willing to risk their lives to be thin.
It makes me so angry, larger ladies shouldn't bitch about slim girls and thinner ladies shouldn't bitch about overweight girls, it's HORRIBLE! The problem isn't in fat or thin, can't you realise this? The problem lies in people's attitudes towards eachother, fat doesn't mean that you're lazy, thin doesn't mean that you have an eating disorder. People come in all different shapes and sizes, we should educate more on being healthy which doesn't mean being uber slim so you look pretty, it just means having a good well being. Making comments that basically suggest that someone is unloveable because of their dress size, is disgusting. Not the dress size itself.
