stupid things patients say part two

'I used to be skinny like you'(Then I had kids/I don't know what happened/I don't have time to excercise)'

The respectible answer to this is 'oh did you/you're not that big

The correct answer is 'if you have children you should lose weight as breast feeding burns 300 calories a day/I'm guessing you didn't get this big from exercise or healthy eating/ how much TV do you watch?'

I am somewhat terrified and disgusted at this. I am terrified because if they are telling the truth it means I too may become obease, and disgusted that if they are lying why would you bother telling me that crap to make yourself feel better.
