I'm stunned. And this is going to be all sorts of shallow and I'm-a-horrible-person, but...
So, long story short, I've gotten in touch with a number of old friends through Facebook. It's a big part of why I like the place. But in the last couple weeks I've gotten in touch with a couple girls I used to be good friends with, and... To be blunt, holy shit, they put on A LOT of weight!
Now, I'm not the picture of health, or even dietary concern, myself. I weigh about 190lbs, but I'm also nearly 6ft tall.

(2) Yes, there are many reasons people gain weight. Yes, not all of them can be controlled by the person in question. Yes, it can be very hard to lose weight.
(3) I am a horrible person for this. It's a deep-seated reaction which, I think, is based in fear. I still can't excuse myself.
