eat less cheese

I have been eating less cheese, but it’s just so good and I haven’t lost any weight, so really I should just eat cheese and exercise more.

Cheese is definitely my favorite food item. I have a joke that whenever I eat it, I’m “cheesing”. But I overdo it…a lot. I wind up eating all the cheese in the house and then I get in trouble for doing so. I need to stop. Really really bad. This isn’t just a desire to eat less cheese, it’s a necessity. Any advice I could get would be greatly appreciated.

But its time to move on. I amaze myself when I run out of veggies and not run out of cheese, but that’s been the trend lately. Let’s see if I can keep it up.

i love cheese – i don’t just love it i <3 it! and not just regular cheddar either. i enjoy brie, gouda, feta, soft cheese, asiago, mozzarella, lovely cheeses from various regions of Britain(including red leicester and double gloucester), parmesan, extra old Canadian cheddar, colby, monterey jack, havarti, swiss, and even stinkers like chevre and stilton. sadly, i even like Cheez Whiz and spray cheese. i'll eat cheese on just about anything or just a big old chunk of it on its own. if there were a Cheesaholics Anonymous I would need to go there. i'd say 2 out of 3 of my meals each and every day include some type of cheese. most people might say "better cheese than sugar", but i'm out of control. i buy it in two pound blocks every grocery day and that's just the cheddar. i usually get about 3 different specialty cheeses on the side as well. at restaurants i will order baked brie as a meal. i need some balance, a bit of restraint. i believe i should set myself a cheese limit of 3-4 meal items a week that include it, but it may take a while for me to get there. this shall be an ongoing process.

Cheese is horrible! BUT I LOVE IT!

I stopped buying cheese in mid-January, it’s August now. I still eat cheese occasionally when I go out (a slice of pizza or a snack at a party, and it’s so frickin good every time). I’m not a vegetarian but I’m close, I was eating more than a pound of cheese a week. Since I started regular excersize and stopped cheese (at home) I’ve lost 25-30 pounds. I still walk slowly by the cheese isle at the store, I swear there is something addictive in cheese, it must be much worse for you than anyone is letting on.

Screw this goal. I give up. I love cheese. I love dairy products. There is no way I could do this. If I really think about it, I don’t eat that much cheese. Maybe as part of a dish a couple times a week – like sprinkled on black beans and rice or like last week I made a greek salad which had feta in it. I rarely just sit down and eat slices of cheese, it is general cheese I’ve shredded and thrown on top of a dish. It really isn’t that much and lately the husband and I have been going through less cheese, so we must be using somewhat less cheese than before.

Really, I just don’t want to limit what I eat. I’m a really healthy person and putting constraints on myself just makes me feel bad. No more of this!

My husband needs to lose weight and we both love cheese.

I just feel we eat it too much. I’d like to only be eating it twice a week. I need to discover new recipes that don’t call for cheese!

Also, I want to lose 5 more pounds, and cutting back on the cheesy could be the way to do that.

I am probably healthier, but not happy about it.

I love cheese, but how I came to eat less of it has nothing to do with weight loss or bad habits. I used to buy the cheapest cheese, because one can get so much more for the money. But the quality varies enormously. One day I just decided I’d rather eat less cheese than eat bad cheese. So I would spend my cheese budget on decent cheese, and just be happy with the quality of the cheese and not eat cheese when there was none.
