battle of the bulge
Fighting belly fat
The Battle of the Bulge was Germany's last major offensive on the Western Front in World War II, a surprise attack through the Ardennes forest in December 1944 that created a bulge in Allied lines before being repulsed.
In lowercase, a battle of the bulge refers humorously to struggling with weight gain: I'm losing my battle of the bulge.
