359 Days to Go...Cheese Withdrawal

     Cheese. This morning I ate a bowl of shredded wheat with a teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 cup soy milk and some black coffee, but thought about eating a block of cheese. Lunch I made a pasta salad and raw carrot salad, which turned out to be very tasty. I used mayonnaise plus yogurt in the salads. Finally, I have finished the jar of mayo. I have discovered that you can substitute plain yogurt for many things you would typically use mayo in, and it is half the calories and fat plus it taste great. I prefer the Greek style of yogurt, as it is thicker in texture and inexpensive to purchase. This is good news for me! 
    Cheese. Now is that not a lovely sounding word. I can honestly report that I have had NO cheese this year. For me this is nothing short of a miracle. I have been known to eat cheese with peanut butter! Next to mayonnaise, cheese is the single most food I love. I have decided to go 30 days cheese free and am on the road to success. I also have done some research and when I incorporate cheese back into my diet it will be Feta or Swiss as these are the two cheeses lowest in fat and calories and Tesco's sells a block of Feta for just .75p, doesn't get any better than that! Of course portion control is an issue and that is one of the areas I am working on.
 Comments. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage comments from anyone out there. Tips/advice, humor, antidotes or just plain silliness. Thanks!
