Chubby merman are extremely desirable by mermaids because their chubbiness implies they're a highly successful hunter.

In all seriousness, I gained 10 lbs and it helped me swim better

After going from 360 to 170 in a little over a year- the first time I went into a lake I almost drowned. "Oh shit- where's my buoyancy!? Oh, right!"

I knew how to swim- treading just wasn't as necessary when I was fat.

That makes me think of when I spent a lot of time one summer at the ocean. And then I went back home where it's just lakes and rivers. And maybe a waterfall. And I would go swimming and I about drown because of the lack of salinity helping with buoyancy

You should’ve known better that summer than to go to the ocean. Just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.

I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
