I'm not sure I'd categorize him as "poor man," the before and after pictures definitely show a gain, but nothing to suggest that he's on his way to gaining back all 250 lbs.
Even if he doesn't re-lose any that he's gained, and chooses to maintain his now slightly-larger weight, it doesn't seem worthy of the "fall of the wagon" criticism.
I've read (but haven't verified) that Jared caught meningitis in 2009 and was very severely ill (bedridden, for quite some time), and the weight gain occurred during his recovery.
If that's true (heck and even if it's not), he deserves to be cut a little slack. The idea that a person will lose the weight and never struggle with so much as a single regained pound, is incredibly unrealistic.
It's a war that will be fought for a lifetime, and losing a small skirmish here and there shouldn't be interpreted as defeat.
