ANYONE ELSE ADDICTED TO .....



Recommended Posts

HELLO EVERYONE!

Ok this is embarrassing. But, I have developed this strange addiction to STRING cheese. I absolutely love it. Yesterday, before I knew it.. I had eaten 8 sticks thru out the course of the day. I can chew it up very well and swallow it without getting a stomach ache. I can only eat 2 at a time AT THE MOST. I looked up last night and realized, I had no food all day, just STRING CHEESE!.. Then I couldnt wait to get to my office today to eat some more. Well, though each stick has about 6 grams of protien, no carbs and about 70 calories.. I have read online that they are high in fat. Well, hell, now I feel guilty. Its just strange that I can get this cheese down and I dont get a stomach ache like with other things I try to eat. Am I severely re-tar-TED. or can anyone here relate to STRING CHEEESE. Im not buying anymore cause Im sure it will cause Constipation, if nothing else. but, I sure do LOVE IT! HELP.....!!!!!

You seriously need to kick that addicition LOL....You are going to be horribly constipated!!!! Either don't buy it or buy single sticks so you arent' tempted to eat so much. Also, you need a variety of healthy foods to balance out your diet.

Good Luck

Having one or two cheese sticks a day is great!! I have one a day usually, for reasons you mentioned, low or no carbs and higher-ish protein!! They are one of the fews things that don't make me nauseous and I can eat easier. Don't worry too much about the fat, we get so little food and fat from everything else, and our body's need some fat. Besides they have reduced fat cheese stick that taste just as good in my opinion! While we are on the cheese eating topic, if you like colby-jack cheese, Land O'Lakes sells a package with little individually wrapped cheese slices and they are SOOOO delicious! And same calorie, carb and Protein advantages as the cheese sticks. Try them out!! And protein in general is going to make you have some Constipation, so get your Fiber other ways or use some Miralax when needed!

String cheese, brick cheese, cream cheese, cottage cheese you name the cheese and I love it! But I have rationed myself down to 1-2 pieces of cheese a day. Try to include other healthy Snacks and see if you can control the string cheese addiction.

Can you guys suggest some healthy Snacks other than cheese as well? im having a hard time planning out food to eat so generally speaking, I just skip eating since Im never hungry anyway. I know this isnt good though. Please, share with me what you guys eat and snack on.

The amount of fat in one or two sting cheeses a day should not be frowned upon. I snack on cheese every day to give me a small boost in Protein.

Depends on what you are looking for in a snack. Low carbs high Protein? Medium carbs medium protein? Pretty much if I want a protein snack it is cheese. If I have lots of extra carbs left over I will have a small 100 calorie carb snack that is less than 20g of carb. Usually closer to 10g of carb but I do not fret as this is not an everyday occurance.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
