In an moving essay posted to Twitter, Hyland explained that an influx of negative comments on her social media accounts about her appearance and weight-loss prompted the actress to address those critiquing her body with a two-part story.

The Modern Familyactress explained that she has endured a lot of physical changes that have left her on bed rest, loss of muscle mass, and a swollen face from life-saving medication.
"I have been told I can't work out," she explained. "Strength is everything. Being strong has gotten me where I am. Both mentally and physically. I am not a fan of 'being skinny,' which many of you have told me that I am too much of."

"My circumstances have put me in a place where I'm not in control of what my body looks like," she wrote, addressing those that commented she should "eat a burger" or claimed she was anorexic.
"While these comments don't affect me, they may affect others. So I am here to say that no one should aim to be the weight that I am right now," Hyland wrote. "I am working hard to maintain my weight by eating as much protein as possible and continue to be STRONG and healthy."

“I’m a 26 year old woman who goes through more than you could even imagine on a daily basis," Hyland wrote. "But I work hard. I love hard. And I got to where I am because I am STRONG and didn’t give up."
"I am grateful for the life I live and you should be too,” she said, before encouraging others to face negative comments with love and positivity, “especially at a time like this.”
Following the story, fans and fellow actors reached out with messages of support for the actress.
