Vacation Report from the Fat!Fam So, due to work I had to miss my family's yearly vacation to the beach. I didn't really mind, we've been to the same spot for several years now and I was frankly just physically and emotionally exhausted from work. I feel much better after a weekend of relaxing and catching up on chores.  I've just gotten off the phone with my family, asking them how the vacation went. Now, when I go on vacation I want to maybe hike in beautiful national parks, shop in cute unique stores, go on thrill rides or amusement parks, go to museums, and yes sample the local specialty dishes. My family's report went as follows: All of this was reported first as the highlights of the trip, the really fun stuff. They even reported almost exactly what they ate each time. It was only after asking a few more questions that I found out what else they did. Which basically amounted to laying out on the beach and discovering that they're too out-of-shape to do anything more physically demanding than that.  I think I dodged a bullet here. tldr: Fats use vacation as an excuse to binge. Because food is the central fun part of every event, apparently.
