Gigi Hadid has hit back at people who’ve criticized her for being too skinny. In a series of tweets she responded to claims she’s gotten thinner — saying it’s due to treatment for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis*. The disease, which she’s spoken about before, can lead to weigh gain, tiredness and dry skin. The model said she would “not further explain” the way her body looks and that “I may be ‘too skinny’ for you... but I feel healthier.” She began by suggesting people who once called her too fat were now shaming her for losing weight. The NHS says Hashimoto’s thryroiditis can “take months or years” to be diagnosed and is “caused by the immune* system attacking the thyroid gland, making it swell* and become damaged.” Haddi said the changes to her body are down to her now being “properly medicated” to help symptoms which include “extreme fatigue* and metabolism* issues.” And she insisted she wasn’t eating any less than she used to, it was that her “body just handles it differently now.” (SD-Agencies) |
