It’s summertime baby.

Everyone is hitting the beach/pool. Rolling down the windows. Pounding down the ice coffees, ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers, and french fries.

Fat people around the nation are sighing as they pull out their bathing suits from the drawer, realizing they will no longer fit.

With this fat problems installment, I will be taking the summer to reflect upon fat culture so I can come back at the start of the 2016-2017 school year with some fresh fat probs.

As I bid you farewell for the summer, I hope this is the best fat probs yet.

Some summer inspiration from Adele:

“I love food and hate exercise. I don’t have time to work out… I don’t want to be on the cover of Playboy or Vogue. I want to be on the cover of Rolling Stone or Q. I’m not a trendsetter… I’m a singer… I’d rather weigh a ton and make an amazing album than look like Nicole Richie and do a s*** album. My aim in life is never to be skinny.” -Adele
