Every 'reason' for becoming a whale is tiresome, especially the couldn't exercise because injury excuse yet again so suddenly size 22, but this grandma excuse in particular infuriates me. I know* exactly* what this experience is like. My grandma got sick too. She is dying of Alzheimer's and a heart condition. My aunt took care of her full time with little to no help while also holding down a full time job. I stepped in when my circumstances changed and I lived closer to home and was also doing it nearly full time at one point. Neither of us have ever been fucking fat.  That's what really struck me.  Lots of people on here have way worse problems than temporarily having a broken hip--from permanent disabilities to chronic pain to rare medical problems-- how come they aren't fat?  Shouldn't /u/GreffeduFoie be fat if "stress" and "pain" and "not being able to exercise" causes weight gain?
