Remember when the boyfriend accidentally got vegetarian burgers with cheese in them? Well, when I ate the rest of the package (there were 4 patties in the box), I would always notice that my tummy would be grumbly immediately after.
Honestly, it made me really nervous. Did I suddenly build up a sensitivity to cheese???
I mean, I know that the overly-processed milk and dairy products don't usually sit well in my stomach. But the times I've had raw milk (mmmmm....raw milk...), I've never had any problems.
I do remember having some stomach pains after feasting on cheese during my friend's party, and then while I was in New York. But I don't know if it was because of the cheese or if it was the fact that we had eaten so much that day.
I love cheese.
My sister has some weird allergic reaction to cheese, though dairy doesn't cause her any issues as far as I know. I always thought it would be the saddest thing (well, okay, ONE of the saddest things) to not be able to have cheese.
So, in an effort to make my upcoming birthday more pleasurable (in a week!), and knowing that I'll be flying to California, I've decided I need to wean myself off this pescatarian/vegan diet.
I leave for California on the 20th, and I'm planning to hit up In N Out to celebrate the end of my diet. I know that's completely counter-intuitive, and will probably be detrimental to my actual weight loss. But I promise I won't go overboard on any other day except for my birthday. All bets are off on my birthday.
So, in the next couple of days, I'm going to start reintroducing small bits of cheese, yogurt, and eggs into my diet.
If I'm out and about, and there are no vegan options, then I will go for something vegetarian or even something that might have the smallest amount of meat. If I eat meat, I will start with chicken, but I will still have more veggies on my plate.
I refuse to have any sensitivity to cheese. I absolutely refuse.
I know that it hasn't been the whole 40 days (though really, Lent is longer than 40 days). In fact, today is the 36th day. By the time the 40th day arrives (the 19th), my stomach will be prepared to have meat in my body once again.
But if I had to choose weaning myself off this or suddenly reintroducing foods and making my body go into some weird angry shock, I think I'll choose the former.
