Why Am I So Chubby?

It is not a rare moment when Cathy will look at me and say, "Why are you so chubby?"

"I can't help it," I respond. "It's my hormones. It's my genes. It's my physiological response to this fallen world."

"Well," she'll harumph, "that's not logical." And she'll proceed to spell out in detail why it is not logical for me to be chubby and why I should take better care of myself and exercise greater care with my choices.

I can't tell you how many times I've been chubby and then Cathy has argued me out of it.
