Here's the thing: Your body always has the same number of fat cells, no matter if you're skinny or overweight. The difference is the size of the fat cells.
When you eat junk food or even a lot of food, and injest more calories then you burn off, the excess calories collect in your fat cells, causing them to expand. This is what causes a person to gain weight.
Yes, it is true that an overweight person who loses weight is more prone to gain weight back than a person who has never been overweight. This is because once the fat cells have expanded, they lose some of their elasticity, and much more easily expand. It takes more for a skinny person to gain weight than a skinny person who was formerly overweight.
