On Why I’m So Goddamned Svelte

People tell me, “Porter, you’re a good-looking guy. How do you keep yourself so slim and trim?” Well, it’s quite simple really.

You see, I have what is known in the fitness “biz” as “a kickin’ metabolism.” That’s right: my body burns up food like it was lighter fluid. Fatty things just don’t affect me. I mean, I can seriously just eat an entire Fudgie the Whale ice cream cake, and not put on a pound. I just have the right body chemistry, you know? I just… I’m lucky! Ha, right?

Some people have it and some don’t, and I, uh, I have it. I have that uncanny, undefinable ability to just eat what I want, and not put on weight. I have nature on my side. I have genetics working for me. I have all the cells in body working overtime to make sure that whatever shit I guzzle down at dinner, none of it will show up on my thighs, butt, or belly.

So, “Why am I so fit?” Well, I guess I just have the right DNA. Heh heh, and that’s my secret.

Oh, and also I induce vomiting after every meal.


Porter


P.S. Just to be absolutely clear, Porter is not remotely thin, nor is he bulimic. No, friend, this entire Thought was… an illusion!

Did you like this Thought? Sure did. No, I did not.
