Would you be shocked to learn that fat people sweat more?

No, I didn't think so.

Look, let's be totally honest. Having extra weight on your body earns you extra skin. And thus, you end up with folds and creases where God did not intend them. The back, the armpits, the waist... Don't scrunch your nose at me, mister; it's not any easier to talk about it than it is for you to read about.

So showering takes some extra care - to make sure you wash everywhere and subsequently, wash offeverywhere. Drying off takes a little extra time cause who wants to put their clothes on and find they missed a spot? Ever had a rash from soap you didn't catch? It sucks. Ever find a pimple in a weird place? On your arm? Your... knee?

(Yes, I found a pimple on my kneecap. However, this is not due to fat. This is God being cruel. I promptly said b'bye to odd pimple which, I pray, I shan't be visited by again. I am only telling you this to be funny. It does not strengthen my point.)

Anyway - where was I?

Try sleeping in the Summer when you're overweight. My God, people, it's horrible. I wake up every morning tangled up in whatever structure I put my pillows in so I could be comfortable the night before. Because maybe if I lay just so.... I won't be as hot, I won't sweat as much, and I won't feel like a total heffer. The heat is not kind.

In the morning, the shower is a wonderful way to relax, even if only for 6 minutes, but then the cycle begins again....
