Hyland has also been candid about how her continuing battle with kidney dysplasia hascaused her weight to fluctuateover the years, and in May 2017 sheaddressed the frequent skinny-shamingshe hears from people on social media.
‘”Eat a burger,’ ‘your head is bigger than your body and that’s disgusting,'” she quoted on Twitter. “And you’re right! … No one’s head should be bigger than their body but considering I’ve basically been on bed rest for the past few months, I’ve lost a lot of muscle mass. My circumstances have put me in a place where I’m not in control of what my body looks like. So I strive to be as healthy as possible, as everyone should.”

“I have been told that I can’t work out. Which, for me, is very upsetting,” she said. “I love to be STRONG. (I’ll be using that word a lot) Strength is everything. Being strong has gotten me where I am. Both mentally and physically. I am not a fan of ‘being skinny.'”
