    I know others have probably already said this. But you can't deprive yourself like that all the time because you will go insane and you shouldn't look at it as "giving up on something" because you're not.
    I'd just like to say I've lost 18 pounds in 2 and half months not by depriving myself, but having control over myself. I have had pizza probably 4 or 5 times in the past 2 and half months. In fact I just had two slices tonight (I blame the craving on football lol).
    But seriously. Give in once in a while, it's good for the mind and soul to indulge. It's just one meal of one day, it's not going to make you gain 5 pounds.

    because when people try cutting a food 100% out of their lives, they usually end up going off the deep end after a while.

    There is nothing wrong with having pizza or cookies or soda or whatever other garbage you may want every once in a while. I know some people are pretty gung-ho about clean eating and thats fine, but to act like having a couple slices of pizza is the devil and will ruin weight loss is absurd.

    i had pizza for lunch and i'm about to have pizza for dinner...NOM NOM NOM.

    It has nothing to do with clean eating. some people, can't stop with just one of their trigger foods, so encouraging them to have it once in a while, when they know full well if they eat one, they won't stop there, is just plain cruel. Congrats on your ability to stop at just one. But we aren't all created the same and not everyone can do that. Get back to me when you've lost 100 pounds and kept it off.

    Does 85 count? Loved my pizza for dinner tonight!

    well then those people don't have a healthy relationship with food and need to take a look at why they can't stop at one or two slices. You can't go through life living like that, it's unhealthy.

    i don't have 100lbs to lose..do you want me to starve myself so i can get back to you? lol...

    Pizza isn't entirely bad as long as you remember that one slice is considered (usually) a balanced meal in itself so you have to make sure you don't over do it there. I had pizza and happily found myself feeling sick when I tried to eat more than a meals worth because of the taste. haha! at least he didn't put the whole box in front of you!

    I agree, sometimes loved ones want you to be happy and eat what you want. They need to realize what you want is to eat healthy, lose weight, and NOT be tempted

    One slice isn't bad just don't eat the whole pie

    The thing I have learned this time around is to not completely eliminate things, only the amount you eat. I did have pizza last night, but i had very little. Unlike back in the summer I would have eaten half the pizza.

    Why not eat one slice plus a side salad? Losing weight doesn't have to be about deprivation.

    this.

    Shoulda ate the pizza and took a walk afterwards. Eating pizza isn't going to be the death of you.

    Great will power none the less.

    Pizza is probably the food I miss most since moving towards the primal blueprint lifestyle (which includes no wheat/gluten or grains).

    Now that I've been gluten free for a few months, it's getting easier to resist the temptation (especially since eating this type of food now makes me feel sick to my stomach).

    WHAT A GREAT JOB!!! Actions like this are what will give you results!


    I can't believe people are telling you to eat pizza! That cracks me up! This is a lifestyle change. You are doing great.


    To all who told her to eat pizza as a reward....she said she is trying to NOT eat cheese and bread for awhile. I'm sure she does treat herself every now and then, but this cracks me up. You cant always eat what you want.

    Abs are made in the kitchen...eating clean foods....



    I agree! U should be getting nothing but KUDDOS! Thanks for posting how u overcame that challenge. Maybe I will remember how u talked urself out of it the next time I'm faced with a similar challenge! Great job!

    No, we don't count. Come on -- you just *know* that we're going to go to bed tonight after having that pizza for dinner (or, in my case, that burger from Outback) and will wake up with all that weight back on us.

    /sarcasm

    But seriously...if someone has an issue with controlling how much food they're shoveling in at one sitting, then they have a bigger problem than a slice of pizza. Sounds like an addictive personality to me, and perhaps the OP should seek out professional help rather than the advice of "armchair nutritionists."

    Just my two cents...

    DOn't you hate when boyfriends do that? I agree with some of the other posts. A piece of pizza here and there won't kill your diet. Remember to be successful you need to make a lifestyle change. Avoiding pizza for the rest of your life may be hard. Learn what you need to do when you do eat pizza because it is a temptation that is surely to appear again! :)

    good luck!

    Does he not support you in your weightloss journey ??? I don't think it is very respectful that he offers up a slice of greasy pizza ! Maybe I am wrong.....but good for you being strong and saying no to the greasy stuff !

    I don't see nothing wrong with a slice from time to time. Grant it, I wouldn't make pizza, oily/fried foods or other "bad" foods part of my daily diet. Some folks on here over-do it on what to eat, what not to eat, blah blah blah.

    I'm all for healthy eating, but I believe controlling portions and moderation are much more important factors than eliminating certain foods all together, especially if they are foods you actually enjoy. Unless you're NEVER going to pick up another slice, then indulge from time to time and just kick butt in the gym or hit the pavement and run. I don't care what people say, I'm gonna eat a slice (a wing, a scoop of ice cream) when I want. If I choose not to work it off, then I can't complain if the numbers on the scale increase.

    DISCLAIMER: The previously comments are not intended to insult, offend or dismiss the views of others.

    Seriously folks, I keep my diet in check for 7 days no matter what I eat, that includes pizza, hotwings, ice cream and I still burn cals, lose weight/inches.
