My cheese addiction has reached terminal velocity.  I must break free.  It sounds as though I am kidding about this but I am not.  I have weaned myself from the hard stuff (aged parmesan) but only by substituting Asiago and Manchego in large quantities.  Also Asian Trail Mix, which is not cheese but which I keep snarfing in great handfuls and which is both fattening and bloating.

Seriously.  Cheese addiction.  I have had this before for years at a time but I did manage to break free.  One day I just left off.  But now -- now.  Well, I have been trying and failing.  I wake up and the first thing I want is a piece of cheese.  I want it for lunch, I want it for snack.  I want it when I am just running out and I must have it when I come back.  I need it if I"m about to make dinner or have just finished dinner and am launching a big cleanup.  I need a tiny piece before bed. I want it all day long and when I deprive myself of it for hours at a time, my ache is so precise that my mouth waters like a dog's.

Like Pavlov's dogs, I mean.

Like I said, it sounds like a joke.  It is kind of funny.  Except that I am not joking.

MUST BREAK FREE.

Plus, it's making me fat.  Why can't I be addicted to running or shred my food out of nervousness like a supermodel?  Is that so much to ask, really?

bourgeois anxiety, food, subtle insanity
