It calls my name, cheese does. I love it. I have a hard time resisting it’s smooth, creamy, nippy, melty goodness. In fact, I can’t think of a single food that is not improved by the addition of cheese.
And, you know, it’s that time of year again, when my Hubster leaves his family so he can go and work 12 hours a day shoveling snow and building fences and generally exhausting himself for free as a volunteer courseworker at the Lake Louise Winterstart World Cup race.
And – knowing he’d be away – I bought me some o’ this!
Cranberry Blue Cheese.
Num.
Mind you, I only bought a wee little package of it…nothing so magnificent as this gigantic ball.
It was…maahvelous.
But you wanna know what? Small victory: I only ate about half, which would be about 1.5 oz. Now that does translate to about 5 Weight Watchers points (not including crackers), but the thing is I would at one time have eaten the whole kit and kaboodle. This time? Meh. Not so much.
It’s not that it wasn’t splendidly delicious. It was. It’s just…I ate it slowly…with a break in between bites. And after a few minutes, I was satisfied. So I put it away.
That is. So. Not. Me. I am the gorger; the one who keeps eating Salt & Vinegar chips after my tongue is bleeding (or feels like it is). The one who keeps eating cheese fondue even though my upper lip is sweating and I’m short of breath from my distended stomach pressing up on my diaphragm. In fact, I used to say (before binging alone actually became a real eating disorder) that I had half an eating disorder…I could binge, but I never purged.
So this…this is progress folks!
Mmmmm….CHEESE! The monkey loves cheese, too….. I can never figure out how to count the points of cheese on WeightWatchers…. NEver know how much an ounce is, etc….
Congrats on eating and enjoying without scarfing! VERY admirable!!! 😉

Bravo Kath! And you feel great from having resisted and you look great because you have resisted. So why is it so hard to do?
I’m in the midst of a week of binging with the November aaaaahs, as in yikes! I will never get caught up with everything I need to do so I better eat. Maybe I’ll add the cranberry blue cheese to my list.
way to go on the moderation, kath – that’s a true victory! especially with such yummy cheese.
Cheese is my weakness too. I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like. I found that I do eat less of the sharper stuff (like bleu cheese) – it just seems to satisfy me sooner.
I f’n LOVE cheese too! I swear I could live on bread and cheese for the rest of my life…it just might not be a very long life 😉
I can’t resist it. If it is there, I’ll eat it. ALL of it. You are so strong.
