Brianna LaPaglia Celebrates 11-Pound Weight Gain After Zach Bryan Split

Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia is happily marking an 11-pound weight gain as she moves past her breakup with Zach Bryan.

On December 27, LaPaglia shared her news in a TikTok video. "We have exciting news. I think I’ve gained 11 pounds. I know, I know," she stated cheerfully. "And it’s great because I have an appetite again. I’m eating. Honestly, it’s like, ‘Hey, you haven’t eaten for a year—maybe relax a little.’"

LaPaglia explained her enthusiasm about the weight gain. She revealed that the stress of her relationship with Bryan led to her significant weight loss. "If you’re confused, I lost a lot of weight. It was a toxic, awful situation. Mentally, I was struggling to the point where I couldn’t eat, which made me skin and bones," she noted. "I ended up force-feeding myself bad food. I’ve been eating pasta, fast food—anything unhealthy to gain weight."

The "BFFs" podcast host shared insights into her physical changes. She said, "My jeans fit better around my thighs. The bagginess is gone. My double chin is coming back! I’m not sure if it ever left," she added. "These changes bring me happiness. It took around three months to regain my appetite. I feel absolutely ravenous now!"

LaPaglia discussed the positive implications of weight gain. "It’s happening, and gaining weight can be a good thing. Sometimes it means things are going well," she noted. In October, she felt "blindsided" when Bryan announced their separation on Instagram.

In the following month, she revealed in another TikTok that the heartache caused her to unintentionally lose 15 pounds. "It’s not that I didn’t want to eat. I was physically sick from what was happening mentally," LaPaglia said. "When in constant fight or flight mode, your anxiety affects your body; you can’t eat or hold anything down."
