I don't like all cheese. If it has no flavour (I'm talking to you medium cheddar!) or has hardly any actual cheese in it (sandwich slices), I can pass it by. But sharp and strong flavoured cheese, look out. Items prepared with cheese in restaurants often disagree with me. It messes with my digestion. I think it has to do with preservatives or the lack of actual cheese in the products, so I have learned to avoid or pay the price.
Like everything else, I have to learn to enjoy cheese in moderation. It is one of the things I can't have in the house, but I find if I have a good wedge of Pecorino, and use it sparingly, it satisfies my need for a cheesy taste and doesn't send me into a frenzy of cheese and that fabulous cheese delivery system...crackers.
I'm doing ok at losing right now but on the weekends I tend to fall off the rails and gain some back. I'm at a pace of about a pound a week, which is doable. Better than gaining.
