Fixed That For You From now on, I'm going to stop referring to the results, and just describe the behavior instead. Don't give these fuckers anything to hide behind: She was put on medication and gained a ton of weight. She was put on medication and began to overeat. When his wife died, he started getting bigger. When his wife died, he started overeating. She's gained weight since she broke her ankle. She's been overeating since she broke her ankle. Oh, he's always been fat. Oh, he's always overeaten. Her whole family is fat, she can't help it. Her whole family overeats, monkey see monkey do. It's tough to lose weight when you can't afford healthy food. It's tough to eat less when you can't afford to eat less. "I have a slow metabolism, so I'll never lose weight." I have a slow metabolism, so I'll overeat. That's just off the top of my head. Any other ideas?
