Louisvillians, it's been a bad year for us.

First, we were told we're rude, have really bad traffic and are not a good city for college basketball fans. Then Kentucky was ranked one of the lowest inaranking of states, not to mention, it's not a good state for women and the most dependent state on federal funding in the country.

But, that's not all.

Now, WalletHub, a finance website, says we're fat.

WalletHub analysts compared 100 of the most populated U.S. cities across 17 key indicators of weight-related problems, and Louisville is ranked 15th fattest city.

According to the website, our city is ranked the 10th worst in the country for obesity, 15th for weight-related health problems and 27th in the healthy environment category.

►Where is greener than Louisville? A lot of cities

Don't worry, Lexington, you're on the list, too.

Lexington was rated the 34th fattest city in the U.S. with a ranking of 23rd for obesity, 14th for weight-related health problems and 42nd in the healthy environment category.

Cincinnati was also on the list, coming in as America's 74th fattest city.

Jackson, Mississippi, you were ranked the U.S.'s top fattest city. Congratulations.

I know, I know. Our city looks bad.

But, we're coming in strong in other ways. We have super clean drinking water, our state is better than Tennessee and we have one of the best bakeries.

So, yay!

We may be fat, but we're happy, right?
