It is Easy for Skinny People to Stay Thin

Theory: Skinny people have a higher surface area to mass ratio than the non skinny. That means that heat from their bodies dissipates more. Therefore they burn more calories relative to their mass in order to maintain core body temperature. It's simple thermodynamics. It's easier for skinny people to get cold and so skinny people have to burn more calories, thus keeping them skinny. It is a feedback cycle. I'll bet there is a certain threshold of surface area to mass ratio that mus be attained if you are trying to lose (or gain) weight, then after that it become much easier to attain your goal.

Actually, it's easy for skinny people to stay thin because God loves us and shows us how we are better than everyone else by letting us stay thin. It's scientific fact!!

Doy! God knows that men don't like smart women, so he made me skinny and dumb! I wouldn't have it any other way.

lexxx, I volunteer to hit MYSELF over the head and eat fritos (though I prefer doritos or cheetos... do I get a choice?) until I become eerily obese. But ONLY IF the obesity is EERIE. Otherwise the deal's off.

Anyway, I haven't mentioned God yet so I probably should. Thank God for Doritos!!!!
