Get HOTTT for summer

Ugh. I just have to vent about this because I feel like I am about to flip. Is anyone else already tired of hearing the commercials about losing weight/getting in shape for summer?
I just saw a Wal-mart commercial, in which a woman saw summer desserts or something and said “Oh no” or something (clearly I wasn’t really paying attn…) and then Wal-mart was there to save the day with Alli and Slim Fast.
My summer does not depend on how I look. I am going to have fun regardless of my weight. Stop trying to sell me all your stupid products because you think my weight determines whether or not I enjoy my summer.
In general, I don’t have TIME to fret about my weight; forgive me holy patriarchy, but I’d rather try to change the world or enjoy myself or relax or read a book or write a paper or hang out with my friend, or hell enjoy a meal. So fuck off.
