Jon Gosselin gains weight on his own.
When Jon Gosselin exited his marriage for a life of partying and pretty women, his body began to change. And it's not the kind of change that contestants on the Biggest Loser show off proudly. Jon has gained weight to the point where several entertainment experts have nominated him to the Chubby Ex-Hubby club, which includes Kevin Federline as one of its charter members. Jon and Kate Plus 8 minus Kate minus 8 seems to be a recipe for diet disaster.
What causes a celebrity like Jon to gain weight so quickly? It's easy to attribute it to endless days of sleeping late, skipping the gym, eating big breakfasts of pancakes, sausage, and hash browns. Lunch and dinner in expensive restaurants with lavish meals, followed by endless rounds of alcohol, can result in rapid weight gain.
Typically, however, it's more than what a celebrity such as Jon is eating. It's what's eating them. In Jon Gosselin's case, it's probably a mixture of guilt over his children's sorrow combined with concern about his unknown future. Regardless of what may be said about Jon and Kate's split (and much has been said already by many would-be experts on the couple!), what both Jon and Kate have said repeatedly is that they love their children. Anyone who has been watching recent episodes can see hints of the children's anxiety about the changes in their parents' relationships. There's the child asking Jon not to leave, for example, as well as the tension that occasionally results in angry outbursts from both Jon and Kate as well as the children.
Would a happy reconciliation magically melt Jon's excess pounds? No, and it also might not be the answer for everyone involved. What is clear, though, is that the way in which Jon has so quickly "bellied up to the bar," as some phrase it, is doing more than just adding inches to his waistline...it's hazardous to his health. And that's not healthy for him...or his children.

Cont'd I agree with everything else you mentioned with the exception of sorrow and uncertainty for his future. He has control over these issues and is blatantly and rebelling against his responsibility towards both. Surely you can see that in his actions. To say otherwise, you’d have to say he is mentally ill or retarded. Please don’t make excuses for this adults behavior or attempt to bring false sympathy for his choices in life. It is the kids we should fee sorry for as he certainly is not.
Ms. Eglash, With all due respect, I’d have to disagree with you on many issues. First, I would not refer to the females he is associating with as women, and I definitely do not consider them pretty. They all appear on the homely whorish homely side respectively to me. Their lewd behavior is very unattractive to most and certainly not what any parent who is concerned about their children’s sorrow would be looking for. Jon’s weight gain is a result of the lifestyle he is living, smoking pot gives you the feeling of hunger and a junk food craving called “munchies”. Alcohol consumption, especially at the rate Jon is intaking is another contributing factor.

Remember, Hailey told us that Jon was sitting around “bored and lonely” when she schlepped back to her parent’s house and rescued him. Oh. . . and she was bored too. Before this match made in boredom, Kate watched Jon’s waistline. Raising eight children kept Jon sufficiently busy. Lighting Hailey’s cigarettes and watching women complain about him on ENews does not burn many beer calories.
How can someone be bored and loney with 8 kids, all under the age of 9 who need a daddy? The sorrow for kids excuse just doesn't fit as he would be spending more time with them if that was the case and he certainly would not be screwing women under their little faces or picking them up at his gate or on the phone with them during his vistation. Sorry, don't know what hat you pulled that explanation out of.
Becuase he is a pig.
And a father without a family.
WHY IS EVERYONE FEELING SO SORRY FOR THE KIDS? They have everything, and more, than any other children of divorced parents or children sho lost a parent(s) to illness or death.
How about the children of killed/injured Vets? Where is there mansion, swimming pool, expensive clothes, expensive trips and vacations, paid up college, crooked houses and of course paid up college already?
Imagine already having college paid for !!!
Don't we all wish our children had that instead of loans for the rest of their lives. Who can afford paid up college, no matter how hard we work.
Wondering if pimping the kids for all this is a good idea? Could be!!!
You got that right, What the F#####.
I am wondering the same, having children in debt over college, including their Masters Degrees.
So he is fat. If he gets off his A## and takes care of his children, he could lose that blubber.
Since he only sees them half the time and Kate has them the other half time, he has plenty of freedom to just sit around in his NY apartment during the day eating and resting up for his nights on the town.
Lets see, before I start my day, what are those parents doing today?
That is it? She is posing for the photogs and he is getting fat.
What a great way to get rich. The Nannys are with the kids, as usual, unlesss they are taping a show.
What no Church today?
My husband and I agree that Jon is an idiot who did not appreciate what he had. He is a sad and lonely little man, but I can't find it in my heart to feel sorry for him. He, literally, has made his bed; and now he must lie in it. Jon had everything - a beautiful, intelligent, talented wife; adorable children; all the material comforts one could hoper for; and admiration and respect of many of the people around him. All of this became unbearable to him when he decided he wanted more - privacy - so he could continue to have the home life and money, along with the fun little party girls on the side. I have not watched Jon & Kate from the beginning, but from what I have watched Kate was rude and unkind to Jon at times, and Jon was rude and unkind to Kate at times. This is the same with any marriage. There are days that I want to throttle my husband, and I'm sure he feels the same way. But then, we find a way to reconnect and move forward. But Jon doesn't want to move forward.
Let's see... Jon's gained a ton of weight and Kate looks fantastic. She's had breast implants, routine manicures for toes and fingernails, and other surgical improvements.
Yeah, the camera catches her when she's crying and all that but there's still something that she's hiding and I think that the bodyguard has done very well keep their relationship under wraps.
It will surface somehow.
