“So there’s this really fat Cousin of mine. Dressed for church this morning. Came downstairs to the living room. sat down and died of a heart attack…If you people like don’t lose weight you hear? Be doing I’m comfortable in my flesh.”
Another Twitter user who also lost an obesed cousin also shared his experience on the thread. He wrote:
