Many people gain weight as they grow older—and they do not have to be told this. “If you haven’t seen me in a while, I’m fat now. You don’t have to tell me. Thanks in advance” is a saying that has been printed on several images.
“PSA: If you haven’t seen me in a while, I’m fat now. I’m well aware, you don’t have to tell me. Thanks” was posted on Twitter by “cash transactions only” on October 15, 2018. “If you haven’t seen me in a while, I’m fat now. You don’t have to tell me. Thanks In advance” was posted on Twitter by Jefrey marima on November 15, 2018. The “thanks in advance” version was probably popularized by an image.
