But thanks to everyone else

 hi , take it at a time when you are already doing something that you do routinely everyday , like brushing your teeth if you do it at 8 every morning or at lunch time if lunch is always round mid day, just make sure yoyu always have it on you if this aint possible

- or should I do the right thing and ask my doctor rather than a bunch of internet strangers who don't have a damned clue

 For you first question, take your pill when you feel you wouldn't forget the most. Get into a routine like take the pill straight after breakfast, or when I get home from school/work etc. As soon as the routine is set it's pretty permanant. When you first start taking, maybe get your watch or an alarm set at certain time everyday, so when it goes off that's the time for you to take the pill.
Secondly, food consumption and the pill doesn't interact so don't worry about food and the pill.
Thirdly some women found they eat a little more as they start taking the pill. And some women report no change in their diet. So this is all down to the individuals and there is no way you can predict that. All you can do is watch what you eat. Mostly eat healthily and exercise often, then the pill shouldn't have any physical effect on you.
If you have any questions on the pill and its side effect or anything else, it may be best talking to your doctors who can give information and leaflets on these.
