OMG I am going to hell or wherever it is bad people go as I just ate 4 slices of a Domino's Texas BBQ pizza!!!!! The guilt is unreal.

I didn't go to the gym for various reasons, went food shopping instead and it was ME who convinced my husband to get a pizza! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE who convinced him. I just get tired of being good all the time, I need a complete blow-out once in a while. It's been like 1 year since I had a Domino's.

I can't go to the gym all weekend but I will go for a long walk each evening to make up for it and work extra special super duper hard next week.

For about a split second, I did think about barfing it up again but that's definately not a road I want to go down and I will just have to deal with the guilt and work hard next week to burn it off. But OMG THE GUILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just get over it and do it right tomorrow. Everything in moderation. Even being good. If you treat yourself from time to time you will find the next time you want pizza you won't feel like you need to eat 4 slices.

    Whats done is done. Now move on solider and start marching on again.

    I totally understand. I have logged the Tostitos and Con Queso dip I plan on having later, and it will put me over by 75 calories (not to mention the sodium and fat), and in the grand scheme of things, its only one day, its only 75 cals, but I still feel guilty. I'm gonna have those chips though! :angry: It's amazing how guilt can take over our minds so easily.

    Take a deep breath. Eating pizza isn't the end of the world. It really isn't. And honestly, one day of eating it won't throw your entire life off balance.

    What's done is done. No guilt. No remorse. No beating yourself up. Log the pizza. Drink lots of water. Start fresh tomorrow. This is your life and not a diet.

    Don't worry or stress. It isn't worth all the guilt. It was just pizza. ;)

    I am learning how to post on this site and I accidentally just stole someone's quote...OOPS. It doesnt hurt to cheat every once in awhile and I think it actually takes some of the pressure off. Dont be so hard on yourself. Nobody can be good all of the time. Have an awesome day.

    what she said! maybe you should incorporate some version of this BBQ pizza into your diet. maybe learn to make it yourself, and that way you can say "nah, i like my version better." honestly, that what i did with my guilty pleasure (sesame chicken).

    I do that on average twice a month. I see no reason to deprive myself of pizza. I love pizza! And since there's a Dominos tens minutes from my apartment, and when my roomate offers to pay for the whole thing, I have a hard time refusing. My roomate doesn't like what I get on my pizza (tomatos/feta/peperoni) so he usually lets me have a whole one to myself. I make it last a few days, but 4 slices of fresh pizza is devine.

    Just think of it as one day or one meal, and you'll get back on the wagan tomorrow or at your next meal. That's what I do. I used to feel guilty over everything, and it's not fun. Slap yourself on the wrist and get back to living life!

    I agree with someone above -- Was it good? If it was good, enjoy yourself, quit beating yourself up and just remember that we can have those days on occasion and go right back to plan with the next meal. Prior to MFP, ALL my days were so out of control that now an occasional out-of-control meal is still a vast improvement!

    Crippling yourself with guilt over a minor food error really isn't going to help you much. We all have bumps along the way - heavy eating days. You don't need to punish yourself, you don't need to 'make this up'. If it were a daily occurrence you'd need to worry. But for today, all you need to do is pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get on with your next day. Don't worry about it.

    We need to learn to uncouple food and emotion - or at least reduce the intensity of the emotional tie we've made between them. Food isn't comfort. Food isn't something we 'treat' ourselves with. Food isn't 'naughty' or 'good'. It isn't helpful to whip ourselves into a frenzy because we made an unproductive food choice. As much as possible, we need to unpick the emotional valence we give to our eating. It's absolutely ok to enjoy food for what it is, without making it into a big emotional deal.

    Take care of yourself, and don't be too hard on yourself about this.

    Next time, get a small personal pizza and pair it with a gigantic salad with a light dressing. When I was on the gluttony train, I didn't think reasonable moderation would work for me, but it turns out I am capable, and that I CAN be satisfied with less than four giant slices of pizza. You can be, too. It doesn't have to be all or nothing, and I know how hard it is to get away from that thinking. Make a plan for next time, so when the craving hits, you're not bowled over by it.

    I mean this the nicest way possible...

    SNAP OUT OF IT! :angry:

    Yeah, you ate pizza. How is that such a horrible thing? You ate it, you enjoyed it, you haven't had it in a long, long time, and you probably won't have it again for a long, long time.

    Yeah, you'll probably show a slight gain on the scale tomorrow from the sodium, but you didn't do anything wrong. You didn't do anything with lasting damage.

    You know what's lasting damage? Ulcers. Keep fretting about it and you'll get one. You know what else is lasting damage? My brother's ex-girlfriend losing her front teeth from decay when she was bulimic.

    I'm having pizza tonight. Buffalo chicken pizza and it's going to be delicious and I'm going to enjoy every single bite! :smile:
