Osteoarthritis, migraines, anxiety – I also suffer from sleep apnea – which brings me to the question, ‘Am I the only one who feels this way? Do other people feel the same? Do they have the same challenges?’” she added.
Magda, a longtime activist who campaigned to change same-sex marriage in 2017, was previously the face of weight-loss company Jenny Craig.
She parted ways with Jenny Craig for the second time in 2014, and later regained the 40kg she’d lost over the years.

It comes after Magda took to Twitter to ban hate speech against ‘fat people’.
“It’s interesting to me that you are prohibited from attacking just about any identity on Twitter except being fat. Why aren’t we protected from slander?’ she tweeted on Sunday.
She was immediately attacked by social media users who viciously attacked her.

“Have another Snickers bar. Sounds like your blood sugar is low,” one troll wrote. “Then lose some weight,” added another.
Despite much support from fans, the controversial tweet received more personal attacks throughout the day.
‘Ever seen obese old people? No, because they all die young. If you’re going to do that to yourself, you’re going to have to accept noticing,” one critic wrote.
“Because you choose to be fat,” wrote another.

Magda later said her critics were simply projecting their “toxic self-loathing” onto her.
“It’s pretty clear from the response to my tweet that some people hate fat people because their own hearts are so full of hate that they have to dump all their toxic self-loathing on someone they don’t think will fight back,” she tweeted. .
“Well, not this little fat duck. She has teeth.’

This isn’t the first time Magda has hit back at critics who have taunted her for her weight.
A troll tweeted her in March of this year: ‘Go on a diet. No rocket science and stop being a pathetic victim.’
Magda’s scathing response went viral after she told them there’s “no cure for mean.”
“Thank you for your unsolicited medical advice. I’ve been on a lot of diets,” she added.
