* In the fanfic ''RWBY: Refilled - Chapter Yellow'': Yang suffered a rather deep depression after losing her right arm to Adam and Blake abandoning her during the fall of beacon. But in this alternate timeline, Yang never recovered from her depression and had let herself go by moping around her home and [[PostStressOvereating drowning her sorrows by doing nothing but eating tons of junk food]] and zero exercise. This sedentary and gluttonous lifestyle inevitably led to Yang steadily gaining weight ,until after two years, the former huntress lost her muscular and athletic physique and became portly and fat. With Yang having mentioned a few times how she used to have a six-pack…before it melted away into a doughy gut. Yet later on in the story Glynda, Velvet, and Coco have intervened to help Yang get back in shape in order to gain another fighter to help in the war against Salem. But whether or not these efforts will be entirely successful has yet to be seen.

** The author has stated how in this alternate timeline the rest of team RWBY and a couple other characters have put on weight and become either chubby or outright fat due to stress eating in some shape or form to cope with the tragic events of the fall of beacon.

* In ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'', after a six-month TimeSkip, Sinbad visits Aladdin and Alibaba to see how their training is going. Unfortunately they've both been pigging out from depression instead of actually training and developed chubby bodies and double-chins (and cartoony ''man-boobs'' in the case of tiny little blob Aladdin.) Sinbad has a HeroicBSOD, but before he loses it completely, spends a few panels chasing the chubby duo around the palace until they run off all the weight. Yet while Alibaba was able to slim down to normal, Aladdin required magic training to revitalize his body and lose the rest of the weight.

* ''Manga/PlusSizedElf'': Part of the very premise. Most of the monster girls were rather fit, but once they entered Earth through a portal, they indulged in Earth's delicacies and became overweight. And due to certain rules of the portal, they cannot return home till they’ve lost the weight. Which is easier said than done.

* In the fanfic ''RWBY: Refilled - Chapter Yellow'': Yang suffered a rather deep depression after losing her right arm to Adam and Blake abandoning her during the fall of beacon. And in this alternate timeline, Yang never fully recovered from her depression and had let herself go by moping around her home and [[PostStressOvereating drowning her sorrows by doing nothing but eating tons of junk food]] and zero exercise. This caused the blonde brawler to steadily lose her athletic physique and became fat in the span of two years. With Yang having mentioned a few times how she used to have a six-pack…before it melted away into a doughy gut. Yet later on in the story Glynda, Velvet, and Coco have intervened to help Yang get back in shape in order to gain another fighter to help in the war against Salem.

* Toni Cipriani, the main protagonist of ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoLibertyCityStories'', was relatively thin, and both his boss, Salvatore Leone, and Toni's mother, Ma Cipriani, comment that he may not be eating right. [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII Three years later]], Toni has put on a lot of weight, possibly caused by the stress of being in a war with the Triads.

[[caption-width-right:350:'''[[FashionDesigner Edna Mode]]:''' "My god, you've gotten fat."]]

* ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace All-Stars'': It's not unusual for returning queens to have put on a bit of weight since their last appearance on the show, as they could be ten years older or more. Alexis Matteo and Jinkx Monsoon in particular have "graduated" to {{Big Beautiful Wom|an}}en. This gets lampshaded by Detox in her reappearance on ''All-Stars 2'' (though she was still relatively thin):

** Korra technically falls into this category as due to her inactivity during the timeskip from her extremely traumatic near death experience, Korra loses her brawny physique and becomes more thin yet is still somewhat athletic. Yet later after overcoming her mental scars and some training, becomes more toned again but remains overall lithe. Yet this change acts as a physical representation of Korra moving past her hotheaded ways from her pacifistic enlightenment.

* ZigZaggingTrope on ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'' with Drew's hot fiancee [[http://www.themakeupgallery.info/character/fat/obese/drew.htm Nicki.]] She was fat in her backstory but then lost 80 lbs., only 2 short of her target weight. When she starts going out with Drew she gains the weight back, which we can see. When she and Drew try to make a sex tape she sees how fat she has become and breaks up with him shortly before their wedding. A later appearance shows her back to her thin self again.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Charlotte Linlin was a fat child, but somehow became slim and attractive in her 20s, despite being a massive SweetTooth for her entire life. As she became older, she became fatter and fatter and now in her late 60s, she's incredibly fat. If she goes hungry for too long, her body slims down a lot in a very short amount of time, but if she gets the sweet she wants, she goes back to being fat.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Mr. Incredible has a hard time fitting into his old uniform when he gets a CallToAdventure. The scene where it first shows Bob at work is even titled "15 years and 50 pounds." Mrs. Incredible, the former Elasti-Girl, also notices that [[WeightWoe her butt and thighs got fatter]] when passing by a reflective surface despite being in better shape than her husband was. Even after committing to a rigorous workout regimen that slims him down considerably, Mr. Incredible can't completely escape the infamous Dad-bod and Edna Mode's cutting commentary about it.

* ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'': Byakuya Togami, the Ultimate Affluent Progeny, is slender in [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc the first game]], but a short time later in [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair the second game]] he's gotten very fat. [[spoiler:Subverted, since this fat Byakuya turns out to actually be a different student called the Ultimate Imposter. The Imposter is much fatter than Byakuya and the various other people he’s impersonated but is ''so'' good at impersonation that this doesn't prevent him from fooling anyone. He probably had an even easier time fooling his classmates since none of them have ever met the real Byakuya in person, or if they had, they don't remember doing so because [[LaserGuidedAmnesia all their memories from their time in school have been wiped]].]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME9tT2BWTOY Hiiragi]] dumped Karin after his mother discovered Karin's family is blue-collared. Several years later, Karin met Hiiragi again and he gained a lot of weight.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BczfFuygy24 Azami]] has unreasonable standards for a future partner and rejected many men who confessed to her. A few years later, she was able to find Kuroki who met her standards and they became engaged, however, he broke off the engagement after finding out that she went to a host club. She eventually gains more weight as an unmarried middle-aged woman and tries again searching for a man who meets her standards by writing marriage letters to her neighborhood. Unsurprisingly, nobody takes her offer due to her appearance, causing her to harass more people in her neighborhood and the police arrest her for her trouble.

* ''Literature/TheSoldierSon'': Starting with ''Forest Mage'', the main protagonist Nevare becomes this. After recovering from a mysterious plague, this trim and fit soldier sees himself gaining weight at an abnormal rate, to the point of becoming obese in a very short period of time. He is accused by all of having "wasted" or "ruined" his body with gluttony and laziness, but nobody believes the true reason for his body change: [[spoiler: he became a vehicle for a type of magic that works on a CastFromCalories principle, and his newfound power engorged him with excess weight - that he then learns he can lose by casting spells.]] From this point onward, Nevare's "formerly fit" status becomes an important character development focus, as he struggles between the rejection of the military culture he was raised in, which perceives him as a {{Gonk}} FatBastard, and the acceptance of his enemy culture, the Speck people ([[spoiler: those that practice the kind of magic he is now a practicioner of]]), who rather consider him a BigBeautifulMan and encourage him to become a FatAndProud [[spoiler: sorcerer]].

* Shown rather depressingly in Marvel's ''ComicBook/EarthX'' series through [[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker Peter Parker]], Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}}, and [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]]. Peter fell out of shape after he stopped being Spider-Man following his wife's death and falling out with his daughter May over her becoming the new Venom. Wolverine and Jean both let themselves go because their marriage was ultimately a mistake, while Wolverine stubbornly insists his healing factor won't let him get fat.
