What will she blame next My hammy relative constantly complains she doesn't want to do anything because she feels fat and disgusting at least once a week.She has now decided it's her generic birth control causing her weight gain.News flash she's always been big.She eats like 4 or 5 huge meals a day and does cardio 3 times a weeks and sometimes go for a walk. I'm just waiting to see what her next excuse will be when she is paying for brand birth control and still gaining weight.She claims to have looked it up online. And weight gain is the top side effect but weight gain is always a side effect of every bc.
