“Running away doesn’t help you with your problems, unless you’re fat. Then yeah, run”

"Running away doesn’t help you with your problems, unless you’re fat. Then yeah, run” is a saying that has been printed on many images. “Running away doesn’t help you with your problems, unless you’re fat of course and then it will definetly help!” was posted on Twitter on September 23, 2012. “Running away doesnt help you with your problems, unless you’re fat. Then yeah, run” was posted on Twitter on November 14, 2012.

“Being overweight is the only truth you can successfully run from” is the same saying, but worded differently.
