What's Wrong With My Bananas?

As part of the <a href="http://the-big-weight.blogspot.com/2011/08/starting-weekend-off-right.html">Beck Challenge</a>, we were asked to pick a day where we have to skip lunch.  By doing this, it is to teach us that it is actually 'ok' to feel hungry.  Despite <i>my </i>popular beliefs, it won't hurt me (this is news to me!), I won't die from one skipped meal (are you sure about that Dr. Beck?), and eventually this hunger will go away (I don't believe this for a second!).  Today was the day where I skipped lunch.  However, I didn't exactly do <i>everything </i>as planned. <br /><br />I skipped breakfast, though not on purpose.  I had 2 cups of tea this morning, which filled me up, and I got distracted while in a meeting.  Before I knew it it was 12 noon and time for lunch.  I really was super hungry by this time and I had a <a href="http://www.kashi.com/products/tlc_cereal_bars_cherry_vanilla">Kashi TLC Cherry Vanilla Cereal Bar</a> and an <a href="http://www.emeraldbreakfastonthego.com/">Emerald Breakfast On the Go Smores nut pack</a>.  That's all I had all day until 6 PM.  So, even though I didn't follow it exactly as planned, believe me, I still felt the sensation of hunger.  And while I was able to resist eating for the 'experiment', I never actually felt the hunger pains go away entirely.  I'm sure if this occurred on a more regular basis they may not be so intense, but my stomach was rumbling non stop.<br /><br />And still, even though I pre-prepared healthy dinners for most of the week on Sunday, none of it sounded appealing tonight.  And while I didn't really want Papa Johns when Joel suggested it, I did have the Points+ for 2 slices, thanks to skipping meals today.  I also knew I didn't want to sabotage an entire day's worth of hard work, plus our nice walk we did this evening by going overboard like I usually would.   But, I did great! For once, friends, I actually controlled my intake of take-out pizza!  I don't recall that ever happening <i>ever </i>before! Giving myself some credit Beck ;). <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1VgIwhFSnH3qsWYcfkb_1WObYLLBAVIz9U-aDf2gXJJmQQMCW1kz9z521RaxMYa6gTMV22aun-UGmzRcR-Yh3cVBPKcEsi6n7X-MNQXEi2f6QDq1he2FbC1VEI0s8N8x5XhwUD9p1ns/s1600/bananas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1VgIwhFSnH3qsWYcfkb_1WObYLLBAVIz9U-aDf2gXJJmQQMCW1kz9z521RaxMYa6gTMV22aun-UGmzRcR-Yh3cVBPKcEsi6n7X-MNQXEi2f6QDq1he2FbC1VEI0s8N8x5XhwUD9p1ns/s400/bananas.jpg" width="280" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHEd4P1xRkq-wpQWCJ3PKw0DB26IMW5ZsHUTxTvEJE7Rw2FzffLYMlYlQiJcO9fAccmLYO6iVlSjM8fZILWwUpUFXaqKOmHw4jNq5PkM2k_s1gDDa7V8cweUFRMFA-tREbLMid2mplnW4/s1600/bananas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>On another note, what is wrong with these bananas?  I've had them for almost 2 weeks now and they are <i>still</i> green!  Do you think they will they ever ripen?<br /><br />
