Sarah Hyland Candidly Addresses Weight Concerns From Her Fans

Sarah Hyland is addressing a very private issue.

The actress has noticed comments from fans about her weight on Instagram and Twitter, and has decided to speak out about them in a rare move.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, the Modern Family star posted her "story," as she called it, explaining:

"I haven't had the greatest year. Maybe one day I'll talk about it, but for now I'd like my privacy. I will say that this year has brought a lot of changes and with that, physical changes. I have been told that I can't work out. Which, for me, is very upsetting...I love to be outdoors. I love to be STRONG...I am not a fan of 'being skinny.' Which many of you have told me I am too much of. 'Eat a burger' 'your head is bigger than your body.'"

She added:

"I am working hard to maintain my weight by eating as much protein as possible and continue to be STRONG and healthy. There's no need to worry! I've been down before and I'll probably be down again in my lifetime but I'm steadfast and solid and will conquer my obstacles."

She's obviously going through something serious right now, and it's brave of her to even speak out about it. We hope her fans and others can give her the privacy she needs.
