Gaining

Wow. I had my annual today too!
218. Last year 209. Year before 224! Up from 196.The 224 year I just told him the truth. Quit going to the gym and drank high calorie microbrew beer every night. There was no lecture just my Doc telling me how he loves good beer too but restricts his drinking to certain times.

Congrats on your 25 lb gain in your petite little frame. You Look Amazing!

Keep it simple: Just laugh and say you like to eat.

If the doctor presses you asks why you've been eating more, just say you've had more opportunities.

Reminds me of a cartoon:

before i started lying and saying i dont smoke ciggarettes...

i'd say "it's a lifestyle choice i've made that has really paid off"

it essentially leaves them speechless for a second, if they're stubborn they'll probably keep lecturing though
