I think I have finally got the answer

This is a relatable comedy meme. The top section has two lines of text: the first line reads "Losing weight is in your hands," a common phrase meaning people are responsible for their own weight loss progress, followed by the second line "My hands:". Below the text is a photo of a capuchin monkey with a deadpan, unapologetic expression, holding a plate of three loaded tacos with a lime wedge in one hand, and a glass bottle of Coca-Cola in the other. The joke subverts the original meaning of the phrase by showing that the speaker's hands are instead holding high-calorie, unhealthy food, leaning into the relatable experience of struggling to stick to weight loss goals.
