Anyone who uses an injury as an excuse to gain weight absolutely deserves to gain it.  I recently badly fractured my tibia plateau which required surgery and a 2 month recovery period. At the time of the injury,  I weighed  170lbs at 5'10 (I am extremely  fit,  weight train at least 6 times  a week,  and was on a 2 month streak without missing a day). When I had my Injury I decided that I would absolutely not gain weight from inactivity.  I adjusted my caloric intake, and ended up loosing 15lbs. By these fat fucks logic,  it must have been magic that I lost weight by only adjusting my caloric intake.
