arguing with my cat

I would say it happens in the winter, when gather up cabin fever around ourselves like insulation, but really it's whenever i try to put her on a diet. She's pudgy, it's unhealthy, and I buy really expensive cat food. So I'm giving her the proper amount now, which is about a quarter cup, and she whines for more, whenever she can catch my eye. She'll try to two time me with my roommates, hassling them when they leave their rooms, but she's given up on them by now.
Today when she tried yelling at me I started yelling back, I pick her up and hug her and shout "No, I love YOU more!!" with the pitch and tone of the word 'you' matching the whine of her plaintive meow.
I'm sure my flat mates think I've gone over the edge, and I guess they may be right.
