I was still in my "foot hurts like hell/coping with as much as I currently can" mode at the time and thought little of her rejection of the only food in my fridge that might qualify as her diet food.
However, having now embarked on this journey, yesterday I found myself wondering exactly why I needed to toss my Fage` out the fridge along with the twice baked potatoes? Adding to my confusion was a prior enthusiastic response to Fresh Markets cucumber feta salad. As I sat there in front of my open fridge,(perched on a stool with my "Aircast" encased leg sticking out at a ridiculous angle), desperately trying to de-sugar and de-carb the contents of the fridge, I found myself clutching my Fage` on route to the trashbag. "Why?" I wondered...."Why is Feta OK and Fage`is not" ?

Ounce for ounce I am still confused......
So why is this important? It's important because it doesn't make sense and I am a logical girl. It's like that tune that becomes an earwig, the zit you can feel brewing just beneath the surface skin on your nose, a loose tooth, or.......an ankle that pounds and pounds away reminding you every minute of every day it WILL NOT carry an extra 50 pounds of blubber!!! In some cosmic way the pain demands an answer.
THE ANSWER:
After further debate/discussion with favorite relative the answer appears to be in the BRAND of Feta.
"Presidents" Feta Cheese has no sugar and sugar is what is being cut from the diet.....hmmmmm
