[ WP ] The different parts [ brains , liver , legs , etc ] of your body are sentient . They 're holding a weekly meeting about the state of your body .

“ No no no, I don ’ t think I could have made myself any more clear… ” 
 
 
 This is where Tibia ’ s attention trailed off. Brain was always verbose, but at this point it was becoming almost a joke. It was a pain that he always received the vote to attend these meetings. Not that he had a chance to lose in a vote that involved the facial bones. They always favored him. It figures, of course, given that they never do anything at all. Almost every other bodily region elected bones to the board. 
 
 
 “ And why not? ” Tibia thought, “ we ’ re the pillars. We hold together what would otherwise be a mass of useless muscles and organs. ” 
 
 
 “ … that ’ s why we MUST maintain a deficit! ” 
 
 
 “ Finally, ” Tibia sighed exhaustedly. 
 
 
 “ Appearances are all well and good Brain, but I think that you ’ re forgetting that the rest of the body isn ’ t terribly concerned with aesthetics. ” The level headed tone of Spleen ’ s speech usually served as a good counterbalance to the almost manic charisma of Brain. 
 
 
 “ Yes, ” Brain countered, “ but the current research shows that a deficit is the best way to prolong life, which is a primary concern to the whole of Us. ” 
 
 
 “ While that may be true, the current push for exercise requires more calories, and as a representative of the lower legs, and personal recipient of some of the punishment, I have to push for at least maintenance intake. ” Tibia spoke for the first time. 
 
 
 “ The pain reception doesn ’ t seem to indicate a serious injury, we can just rest! Why should we risk gaining back the weight we ’ ve lost? Simply to satisfy a small portion of connective tissues? ” Brain ’ s tone was starting to grate. 
 
 
 “ The fact is, ” you could now detect the ire in Tibia ’ s voice, “ we will injure, and then the training will be shot for at least a week. If we hold to a higher intake, we can continue training. Is that not preferable? ” 
 
 
 “ As a representative for the upper body muscle group, I have to agree with Tibia, ” Pectoralis Major chimed. “ The growth potential for I and those I represent has been shot by this cut deficit. We can not function like this. ” 
 
 
 “ I ’ ve told you and those that represented your group before, Pectoralis, you need to focus on form over weight, ” Brain was only barely able to contain the condescension in his voice. He had made it clear on many occasions that he had disdain for the upper body muscles. He found them useless; merely for show. 
 
 
 “ You ’ ve been awfully quiet, Liver? ” Tibia questioned, knowing full well that Liver would likely not want to side against Brain. He had only just managed to convince Brain to eliminate alcohol consumption, and was feeling as though his luck ought not to be pushed.
