Pauls Robot is helping me loose weight!

Chipallina · #1 17th May 2008, 10:23 PM

I’ve been wanting to diet without success for at least 18 months until I combined it with the robot auditor, each time I dieted the hunger overcame me and I had to grab a bite, now that I’m using the robot auditor I’m more in control of my feelings and emotions and can handle the urge to eat, for the first time in over a year I feel like I really am loosing weight and that I really am on a diet, this all started the day I started not too shabby power with Pauls robot.

Thanks so much for this gift

Wow that's great Chips!!

I might give it a go.

The question remains - will Paul's robot be able to help me overcome my choclolate addiction?

You never know. But if you seriously want to eat less chocolate, Ems, I would suggest making up some "electronic chocolate" per my posts here on my "food replicator". Much cheaper and might well satisfy the craving, although not as much fun as the real stuff.

Maybe Paul could add a process on the Not-too-shabby Power list of dichotomies.

Get the idea of there being no chocolate, now shift the idea as high as you can to the idea that everyone and everything is made of chocolate.

Frankly, if you're concerned about addressing your eating habits, I'd cut out the dog food before worrying about the chocolate.

There are some generalities there already that would work in the full list at http://www.paulsrobot.com/NotTooShab.../list_full.htm, Tans. I deliberately put in some that could be used for any item one chose, like

Top/Bottom
Most/Fewest
Greatest/Least
Biggest/Smallest
Highest/Lowest
Best/Worst
All/None

I hadn't thought of electronic dog food. I'll have to try it out. I wouldn't have to limit it to brand-name dog chow--electronic tasty kitten or something wouldn't be too hard as it wouldn't need much of the kitty. Plus the dog won't be as sceptical as some I could name....

Oh, and Chips, thanks very much for posting your win. Good stuff.

My bad. I'm just reading each one as I go through the list.
Everybody/Nobody was fun and I ended off feeling nicely keyed-out.

I'm sure Ems would buy the electronic dog food.
Of course, since she has no shame, she freely admitted to it in public, but think how many others may have the same habit and are withholding it! The one's who don't actually have a pet dog must be stressed from sneaking down to the kitchen in the middle of the night and digging out a can of pedigree chump from it's hiding place behind the Xmas pudding they bought and didn't eat three years ago. You could be on to a real money-maker.

Apparently, Emma goes for the brand full of marrowbone jelly, but you might want to do a public survey.

Following the dictum in the Sup's Code of not asking a student to do something one is not personally able to do, I made up some electronic chocolate, improvising where needed.

Ingredients and parts: Some circular magnets, strong enough to reach through the plastic container; thin plastic water-tight container; two crocodile clips with a bit of electrical wire connecting them (not soldered); one steel knife; one steel tea-spoon; one plastic (Lexan) cup containing fresh regular municipal tap water; ordinary bar chocolate, with a square grated and chunked into the plastic container; hot water added to the chocolate to dissolve some of the chocolate; a small plastic squirty bottle to contain and dispense the finished product poured in from the green plastic cup.

It would have been better with a resistor in series with the knife blade/wire/spoon in order to increase the resistance to between 10,000 ohms and 1,000,000 ohms, but I made do with what I could rustle up at the time.

A minute or so with it all connected together, no incantations needed, then pour the cup contents (not the original chocolate mixture) into the plastic squirty bottle to await later use. I already wolfed down the last of the chocolate, so I was not feeling any chocco craving.

I must say half-melted grated chocolate makes a hell of a mess when you pour it into the sink, but in the interest of helping out dear Emma one sometimes has to make sacrifices.
