    the problem with pizza is it doesn't cater to people on a diet. you have to buy a whole pizza to get any pizza and when your starving, one piece quickly turns into more and by the time food coma sets in you already ate the whole pizza and it looks like a crime scene with a empty pizza box and several empty soda cans or beer cans scattered all over the floor..

    There are tons of options for individual sized pizzas. Sharing with others is also a good option. It's obviously late and most people are out of calories, so fitting it in on another day helps people learn habits they can keep up long after they are done losing weight.

    Haha Right! I agree lol. I did submit and order the pizza. I ate 2 small slices and when I clocked out of my food / exercise journal earlier it was under my calorie goal. I feel full satisfied now. The rest ( pizza and pop) my son will be for sure eating them tomorrow :wink:

    So, you had the calories for pizza... there isn't a problem then.
    I pair a slice or 2 with salad.
    Thin crust is a way to cut calories or make your own pizza and control the ingredients.

    I'm glad you ordered that pizza, ate a correct amount and left the rest for your son.

    I find that when you have a craving, and you don't deal with it, like eat a small part of it, you will eat everything else in the room, and then go back and eat the thing you were /craving/avoiding. LOL. So, part of our path is learn how to eat in moderation. You did that. If you are okay with delaying loss of pounds, then have that craving. When you get on that scale, know why it's not moving, or rather not moving in the right direction. These days, when I fall off the calorie deficit wagon, I own it, and get back up. There's a lesson in that practice. Many of us will lose a lot of weight, life event happen, etc. then we eat badly and don't know how to stop. Been there, done that.

    So you quieted the craving, still came back here, reported it, and moved on. Excellent!

    I have pizza almost every week. Last night was Chicken Mariachi. I don't see myself never eating pizza again, so I've found ways to work it into my goals (smaller sizes, thin crust, etc.)
