“I have gained weight”, “I have to lose (insert number) pounds”, “my shirts do not fit” - etc. etc. etc.
If I hear that one more time....ARGH! What you are really saying is that you know you are fat, or overweight, you are self-conscious about it, and you want me to know that you are self-conscious about it.
OK - here is a hint - if you think you are overweight, EAT LESS!
