I think I am going to start eating Crisco right outta the can, that
should make my stomach stop growling!

I also find that none of the snack or lunch options I have appeal to me, so
I tend to have nothing - particularly when it comes to snacks.  I go through
phases too, where I might have cheese for lunch every day for a while, then
I might have brazil nuts. At the moment I'm enjoying a particularly nice
Greek salad from a nearby supermarket (and am going to try and make my own
once we've got some groceries).

I never seem to get sick of cheese - especially the onion and chives
flavoured Philadelphia little spreadable packs.

I've finally given up trying to eat all that my partner cooks for meals, he
has a *huge* appetite and serves up enormous meals! As I've stopped eating
them he's slowly starting to cook less - I always say cook as much as you
want for you, but I don't want (or need) as much.

I know that's not ideal to skip meals, but the combination of eating less,
stopping the contraceptive pill, starting metformin and getting a little
more exercise seems to be working, as my weight has been slowly but surely
going down over the last couple of months after doing nothing for a couple
of years.

Funnily enough lately a colleague has started making comments about the
amount of cheese I eat for lunch and the amount of fat in it - she asked
yesterday if I ever get my cholesterol checked (I was delighted to be able
to tell her that my lipids are excellent!). Until now I've had very little
grief from people about the way I eat - funny how you get fewer comments
when you eat junk food every day than if you eat cheese and nuts!
