VB=Vulcan part of my brain (voiced by Science Officer Spock)
IB=Irrational portion of my brain (voiced by Animal of the Muppets)

M: Hmm..I think I'm hungry
S: Hello? Food! Need food! Food please!
VB: But you ate a full meal not less than 3 hours ago. You should not be hungry. You had an entire package of ramen noodles, three glasses of ginger ale and a portion of that awful tasting meatloaf.
IB: FOooooooooooooooooood! WANT FOOD!
S: I think it's time we get some more food down here please. Don't want to waste away to nothing, ya know.
IB: WANT FOOD! WANT FOOD!
VB: You don't need food. You are desiring food because you are bored and need something to do with your hands. Perhaps you should...
IB: FOOD! WANT FOOD! WANT FOOD! WANT FOOOOOOD!
VB: Excuse me, that was rather rude of you to interrupt.
IB: *growl*
VB: *raises one eyebrow quizzically and gives IB that look*
IB: *whimper*
S: Have you guys made up your mind as to whether or not we're going to eat? I'm hungry.
M: Uh...
VB: You are on a diet. Therefore the less calories you consume the better.
IB: Want food!
M: Er..
S: Well?
M: Um..
VB: You will never lose weight if you continue to eat like a Klingon Targ, you know. *icy glare*
IB: Food!
M: Alright alright. SHUT UP! All of you. If I give you some chocolate will you shut up?
S: Yay!
IB: CHOOOOOOKLIIIIIIIIIT! WANT CHOKLIT!
VB: *headdesk*

I am on a diabetic diet ......I can have 45 carbs for breakfast lunch and supper, and I have to have 15 carbs for snacks.......you could be really hungry three hours later you know. Have something to tied you over.....

I don't think I was really so much hungry as I was really really bored. That's the whole thing with me..I eat because I'm bored/sad/lonely/whatever. Not because I'm hungry.

I've had that conversation more than a few times in the past few weeks. The wedding is less than a week away now (6 days) and I waited too long to start the diet (only started 5 weeks before the wedding.) I will say that the VB has been winning most conversations here!!! Of course, I didn't have much of a choice... I decided that I either lose the weight now, or look at fat wedding pictures for the rest of my life!!! Then I'd be mad at myself for a long time to come.

Stay with the VB... and listen to the DSarg (drill sergeant part of the brain) - between the two, I've lost 15 pounds in the past month. I got to buy a new bathing suit for my honeymoon yesterday!!! I won't be as embarrassed on the beach or at the pool!!! Good Luck!!!

Good for you miste. I've been trying to lose weight most of my life. By my calculations, if all the weight I've lost over the years had stayed lost, I would be hanging from a charm bracelet at this point.

However, I am trying to work out a little each day by walking for 15 min and jogging for 10. Although today I jogged for 12. And a friend of mine just got a brand new bike as a gift from her hubby,s o she's going to give me her old one which is still in good shape. So once I get a helmet, I'm probably going to start riding again as well.

LOL, I am still trying to wrap my head around the idea that "a package of ramen noodles, 3 glasses of ginger ale and meatloaf" is a 'full meal'...especially one for a person who is dieting.

Girl, you ain't ever gonna lose weight on that diet. LOL, you need a 'food pyramid' voice.

Cute post though.

I know it's not, but I had a stressful day yesterday with DS. We're in the process of potty training and yesterday was just one of them days.
