I am dieting at the moment. I have to lose a stone so I can fit into my winter weight wet suit for a wedding I’m attending in Cornwall in November.
I’m doing one of these diets with a meal plan and a shopping list and no alcohol. It’s going reasonably well but the shopping lists call for cottage cheese and there seems to be no point on the diet where I’m instructed to eat cottage cheese.
So what could the 4 large pots of cottage cheese possibly be for?
Never mind the cottage cheese. It's the wetsuit to a wedding bit that intrigues me!

I was just about to ask the same.

It's one of these beach type weddings. We will be surf kayaking in the day I imagine I'll go with something more formal for the evening dancing.
They are to be married by a fake evangelical preacher. Hallejuh!
It's not terribly traditional.
Ah, see, now you're just confusing me even more.
>>It's one of these beach type weddings.
One of WHAT beach type weddings?!!
Anyway, better get stuck into that cottage cheese or else it'll be 'My Big, Fat Wetsuit Wedding'.
Is the diet on a website or from a magazine? Just write and ask them.
Otherwise, just eat it. I enjoy cottage cheese on its own. Replace a more complicated recipe in the diet plan with crispbread spread with cottage cheese and Marmite (or if you are a Marmite-hater, with cottage cheese and chives or paprika)
Two other simple meals which I would use in a diet:
Stir it into plain, cooked pasta, with your favourite herbs or some spinach.
Put it on baked potatoes with just a sprinkling of salt.
Make lassi in the mixer with a few spoonfuls of cottage cheese, some salt and skimmed milk. I haven't tried this, so absolutely no guarantee as to whether it would work.

It's going to my big fat wet suit wedding anyway. I'm just hoping not to need a new one for the occasion. I'm assured it's OK to reuse an outfit with some clever accessories.
My brother (who is getting married) is in a band, so think of something cool and rock star like. There will be lots of live music and wild partying. They've booked a country house type place for 7 days.
No. No. You're still doing it.
How do you accessorise a wetsuit?

Love this conversation - I can sense the boggling minds all the way from here!
I mean...you can hardly pin a nice brooch on it.

I'm thinking maybe a helmet or some new wet suit boot? Or a scarf...I've heard a scarf always makes a good accessory; although there is a chance it could become water logged and drag me to my watery grave.
Pasta, cottage cheese and spinach does sound good....
Last time I went to a Cornish wedding my son insisted on dressing as a wedding fairy- a look he accessorised with a wand...during the ceremony the the celebrant said 'I now pronounce you man and wife' and my son lifted his wand and shouted abracadabra.
Maybe a wand and wetsuit?

accessorise your towel 
Use it instead of ricotta in a lasagne. Oh wait, that's not very thinning, is it? 
Is it a black wetsuit? Black can be slimming.

Cottage cheese + salad is very tasty, as is cottage cheese on baked potato, though not good if you're doing glycaemic load. Cottage cheese and celery is a good snack.
If you feel that you don't want cottage cheese as it's diet food, try going vegan for a week. I guarentee you'll want to eat it then.

It is black and very slimming- it holds me in everywhere. But at the moment cuts off circulation in most of my body- hence the need for a diet.
I don't think I'm supposed to eat the cottage cheese. I'm only supposed to eat what's on the diet sheet.
Which seems to be mainly fruit. I've never really eaten fruit before (I mean I've had it but not regularly) it was considered expensive and for babies when I was growing up. I'm quite enjoying all the fruit, but when I filled the fruit bowl on the first day I did feel slightly daunting.
I might move onto vegan. I try it from time to time, I feel morally I should.

I'd skip the diet and buy a larger wetsuit. We do come in all shapes and sizes.

Kayaking off Cornwall in November?
Best to keep that layer of insulating blubber.

<<I don't think I'm supposed to eat the cottage cheese.>>
Perhaps you're supposed to smear it over yourself to make it easier to get into the wetsuit?
