It’s Official! My Metabolism Has Finally Reached Zilch
My metabolism has slowed down so much lately that not only will I gain weight if I even look at a piece of cheesecake — so will the person standing next to me.
Metabolism Heaven
Some people complain of a sluggish metabolism. If I could get my metabolism up to sluggish, well . . . I’d be in metabolism heaven, that’s all.
Not the real Metabolism Heaven, but a darn good likeness
I’ve Got a Metabolism That Punches Out at Noon
I’m starting to get the feeling my metabolism goes home early everyday. I think it’s getting bored with its job. And who could blame it, really. Talk about a backlog of work! Poor Dear.
I would imagine the piles of cheesecake in its In-Basket alone is enough to make even the most dedicated of metabolisms want to call in sick.
What’s a Food Consumer to Do?
Still, even though my heart goes out to my metabolism, it would be nice if it could step up the pace just a little. I’m doing my part by carefully monitoring what I eat. I read all the food labels and whatnot; but it isn’t easy finding a food whose first ingredient is air.
My Life as an Air Fern
I think Mother Nature rigged so it so a woman of my advanced years can live indefinitely on air to keep mankind from going extinct.
My Metabolism Theory
As far as I can tell, Our Family of Humans evolved so that Grandma could keep the cave clean, do all the cooking plus watch the grandkids without having to eat any actual food — which meant Yippee!! Extra helpings of Kentucky-Fried Mammoth for everyone! (Except you know who.)
Me and My Metabolism, Where Would Mankind Be Without Us?
So I suppose one could say, the more sluggish my metabolism, the more I am actually contributing to the survival of the human race. Each and every time I manage to push away a piece of cheesecake without eating it, I am sacrificing that piece of cheesecake for the global good of my fellow Homo sapiens — because now there is just that much more cheesecake for them to eat.
Thus ensuring the survival of our species.
Who knew something operating at zilch could be so noble?
