Losing

I was thinking I need to lose weight.
Then I thought how that's about the same as saying how I needed to gain height, which is patently ridiculous.
And I followed that by noting I might be more attractive if I could lose eye roundness, or gain skin blackness, or somehow reduce the girth of my penis.

Because one's weight is primarily a function of one's genes

Actually, the frame of a young person can be affected by how much physical activity they have during their adolescent years. A more slightly build person will add bone if they have physical challenges like weight training or farm work, as a teen.

So there is some nurture affect involved, not just nature.

Maybe you should go to Thailand. You were lighter when you were there back in the peace corps.
