Why are people making excuses for Bridget's weight gain?

Our society is way too soft. We let the supermarkets/restaurants/7-11's/every place in the U.S. feed us junk and we make it nearly a crime for calling out someone for letting themselves go. I've been to grocery stores where I've counted over 30 people in a row that are obese/morbidly obese. It's an apocalypse throughout our nation but we're just going to let these 100's of millions of people die an early and horrible death in their 40's and 50's. I had a friend of mine gain 80 lbs. she died of kidney failure at age 54.
This is the first generation in history where the life expectancy has fallen.
But no, we're so soft and ignorant we accept obesity, causing death instead of life.

She got HUUUUGE.

Faulty Pancreas would be a great name for a rock band

Nah. Fat people just ate too much. But it's ok. Natural selection.

That just reminds me of Catherine Disher, who provided the voice of Jean Grey on the X-Men animated series from the '90s. I was sort of taken aback by how chunky she looked after Googling images of her because Jean on the animated series was this beautiful, svelte red headed woman with a very classic womanly voice.

On the live-action TV series War of the Worlds and Forever Knight, she was in relatively decent shape:

But then fast forward to The Good Witch, and she really porked up:

I do wonder however, if Catherine Disher could possibly be on some type of medication like prednisone.

And that's her personal business--hers and hers alone. She owes no one any explanation for how she looks, period. I just got through losing some quarantine weight I gained, and I know from experience it can take at least 6 months or so to lose weight, depending on how much you're gained, and how much daily exercise you do in order to lose whatever amount you need to lose. The reality is, it takes time to lose weight, and there is no way in hell you can do that overnight. And, yes, some people do have medical conditions that can interfere with their efforts to lose weight. I remember seeing on some tabloid show years ago this young woman who was overweight talking about how she'd struggled to lose weight for years and couldn't, and then come to find out she had a legit medical condition that had been actually preventing her from losing weight normally. So yeah, if you see someone overweight, you can't always assume that they haven't been trying to lose the weight, because there might be a real medical reason that they can't.
