    The only shame is that it was pizza hut and not Dominos.

    Seriously don't beat yourself up. If I had gone as long as you without cheating, I would have eaten a pizza, a half gallon of ice cream, and probably a small wandering pet.

    Dominos is theeee best.

    Peeps, the OP said in her post she is not worried about the calories.

    Sounds like she has high blood pressure (?) and wants to know if a sodium binge can hurt her and is looking for a way to undo it. Personally, I don't know the answer but that is what she's asking. Somebody said plenty of fluids. I'm guessing a diuretic might also help? I don't know.

    I heard someone say once that giving up on a diet because you cheated one day is like smashing your iPhone with a hammer because you dropped it.

    Going over on your sodium will probably not result in your untimely death overnight. Drink some water and go to the gym tomorrow. No biggie.

    Stuff happens--you dealt with it with the extra hydration--you owned your responsibility. Now make a game plan to engineer that it can't happen again, such as no driving into a Pizza Hut or any other processed food chain. You were craving salt + fat + the feeling the fullness. Now it is time to dissect further.

    You said that you could not control your hunger. This sounds like you are hungry much of the time. That is the real issue that needs changing. Losing weight should not be a fight you are having with yourself. It is a retraining camp, where you are defining a healthier way to nourish your body.

    That feeling of fullness can be satisfied with legumes. Go to recipes and start collecting all sorts of bean dishes and put them into your menu several times every week. Legumes are a carb--but they also provide more nutrition than most breads or pastas or pizza crusts AND THEY PROVIDE FIBER.

    Other high volume foods the have plenty of nutrition are soups and salads. Pair these foods with proteins and/or good fats, because by themselves they will not keep you feeling full for very long.

    I specified goods fats--and there are many out there, because transfats should be avoided, but there are many mono & poly unsaturated and even some amount of saturated fats should be a part of most healthy diets. My favorites are olive oil, sesame oil, butter, coconut oil. I use these liberally when I cook, as well as herbs & spices. And I am not going hungry nor feeling hungry.

    In addition to increasing the amount of fat in my diet, I have a conservative amount of carbs from grains and grain-based foods AND I have severely restricted sugar--not eliminated, just keeping it to under 30g daily. Sugar can play into cravings.

    Look into whether too much sugar or abundant grains or not enough fats could be a root cause in your hunger.

    When I am really hungry, I try to eat a big portion of veggies first - helps take up some room so I don't eat as much of the rest of the

    uhm.. veggies are, in most cases, pure carbs.

    i dont think that would drastically effect your blood sugar. just keep that water coming in, stay away from the scale a day or 2 because you prolly will bloat from the sodium, and move on to the next day. does that happen to you a lot? i know if i have binges, it's because i have been depriving my body and it needs fuels, or something may be going on in my life and i eat instead. if you really just were mad hungry and it was tasty, then try to drink a glass or 2 of water beforehand, have like a salad or some veggies/fruit that way instead of the whole pizza, you will go good with a couple slices. dont make it your main meal, if you eat other healthy filling stuff with it then you will only want a slice or 2, while you fill up on a salad and nuts or something. dont let it get you down though, it happens to many of us

    Will I be okay for the night?

    Are you serious asking this? Do you have a BP condition, or are you just being dramatic? If not I think you'll live.

    First calm down and forgive your self. Keep drinking water. Go for a walk not a power walk but a reasonable pace, do not let the stress get you over exited that will cause more harm then the pizza. Yes you went over but that is something that can be delt with, Do not panic just begin again, now . have a salad for dinner, with more water, if your sodium levels are high then you need water to keep flushing your system out the best thing is to start again and not to let yourself stress out over this.

    No worries. Pizza is a negative calorie food. Be sure to log your burn.

    Having lived in New York for several years and in Florida for many years, I can honestly tell you that, without a doubt, the best "NY style" pizza is not to be found in NY, but on Cocoa Beach, Florida. Trust me, Grimaldi's and Lombardi's would hang their heads in shame.

    Make sure you avoid anything else with sodium today. Drink plenty of water to help flush out the sodium

    One high sodium day is not going to kill you, relax. The worst that will happen is that you'll wake up bloated tomorrow. Pound the water, and move on with your day.

    Btw: your screen name makes me want Dairy Queen

    Yes it is possible, made a whole McCain thin crust pizza, ate it all to myself last night. It is the thin crust that keeps it under the calories. Pizza is food and for me with blood pressure already up there (on meds) the sodium does make a difference.. I was encouraged however to hear that today's zero movement on the scale is really more about the water retention.

    Forgot about that. I am staying the heck away from chinese take out if this is the result. Relax have fun and enjoy the new you.

    Been there Done that myself, for me was about 3 months ago, it happens. Just pick yourself back up, and just remember tomorrow is another day. New day to start over. Try not to be so hard on yourself, we all slip up sometimes

    When I was logging my Domino's splurge last week, I found that the thin crust was higher in cal than the hand tossed variety. I used the Domino's website since I couldn't find the specific pizza I had. Weird?

    Remember that hydration is the key. Lots of water. Thirst sends a signal that the body is hungry. Drink lots of water so it is less likely to happen. Except that failure will happen. We are not perfect. Make the next right decision and get back on track. Also, starving can stop the body from losing weight. A binge like this can actually jump start the metabolism.

    I EAT A WHOLE NY STYLE PIZZA BY MYSELF every fri or sat (its my reward for suffering all week) and Ive lost 85 pounds, I need that cheat day to make the rest worth it... dont worry...be happy ; 0

    Well, you're not going to die from it or anything. Being the weight I am, I've eaten MANY entire pizzas by myself. It's a bad thing to do, but not something that has to be your downfall. Just relax, and try not to do that again. You might gain a pound or two, but you'll get rid of it very easily if you stay on track. Next time you want pizza hut try to limit yourself to a personal pan, and eat a large salad with it (homemade, so you can make it low-cal).

    Yea, if you're middle aged and sitting on the couch all day. The OP is 21. Not sure if he's active or not though because his profile is private.

    Same for Papa John as far as I know.
