Interpretation
In a single punch line, the speaker turns the repetitive cycle of dieting and minor weight fluctuation into a joke about bodily memory: if she keeps gaining and losing the same “ten pounds,” even her cellulite would recognize the pattern as déjà vu. The humor depends on self-deprecation and on deflating the cultural pressure—especially on women—to maintain a stable, idealized body. By personifying cellulite and pairing it with a sophisticated term like “déjà vu,” the line also satirizes how obsessively people track small changes, suggesting that the real absurdity lies in the endless repetition rather than in the body itself.
