This is my Sheltie, Bella. Yes, my daughter named her after the Twilight character.

No, they're too stupid to know who they are.

Ok... I started worrying about the plural and looked it up. It is penes although penises is acceptable. Now I can go on with my day.

It's a British pudding. The spots are currants. Not something I'd buy, but I sure did take a picture!

Are you drinking enough water and getting enough protein? That helps me with the hunger. Another thought, maybe have a low calorie snack between meals to take the edge off. An hour to eat seems like a lot, maybe you need a little bit of your fill removed. If you're following all the rules, I'd talk to your nutritionist. Sorry this is happening to you. It sounds really frustrating.
