Dealing with left over pizza

When i had hypnotism one of the things emphasized was "waist or waste"? If you eat it and don't need it you're still wasting it but it's going on to your waist. So bin it.
Or portion it out, but i don't think I'd want something like that 3 days after I bought it. Next day, sure, but not over the week.
Depends how much you want to get to your goal at this precise moment in time. If you're not motivated you can find any number of reasons to eat it, but if what you want is to hit your goal, open up the bin and throw the food away!

I'd chuck it in the bin and go to the supermarket and stock up on some good foods that you can reach for in the cupboard when you fancy a snack and without sabotaging your efforts.

It's not an easy journey and agree that the odd treat every now and then wont harm your progress but so long as the majority of the time you stick to the programme you will get results.

p.s. I used to be lazy about heading to the store to buy food but now I just see it as additional calorie burning!

Good luck! xx

Pizza freezes really well, bag the pieces separate so when you have a craving again, you can have ONE piece and soothe the craving without doing major damage.

What's the problem with eatin gout once a week? I do it. Restriction doesn't help things- moderation is key. I say go ahead and enjoy your pizza once a week, any leftovers throw in the freezer and save for next time. That's what I do. Papa Johns freezes and reheats well- the thin crust anyways lol.

You shouldn't beat yourself up. You don't have to be perfect. This is a lifestyle change, not a deny-yourself-everything-diet!!!!

I love my takeaway too but I find the freezer kind much lower (and you can cut it and only cook half)
Jars of Chinese style sauce last forever, so do frozen oven chips and rice.
If you have your takeaway favourites it is worthwhile having a think about freezer friendy substitutes.
You can still order takeout, but if you only do it half as often you will save a ton of cash and save a ton of calories

P.S. Go read your profile..... I think that will lead you to exactly what you need to do with the leftover pizza.

My thoughts exactly... This is what I do

This.

I have no qualms about eating pizza. I have it at least once a week. It's just bread, sauce and cheese. Those ingredients aren't bad on their own, and they're not bad when they're put together and called pizza.

Definitely stock up on some healthy snacks you can have. Popcorn, veggies and hummus, fruits, smoothies, whatever floats your boat. Remember, it's always (almost always) better for you if you make it yourself!

As for the pizza, either let your boyfriend eat the leftovers, or stick it in the freezer. It's okay to have a piece once in awhile, or even two pieces. Pair it with salad or something like that, and it's not a bad meal.

Yes, it freezes well, but this is not going to help the issue if you have control issues. Something that warms up in 60 seconds in a microwave is not exactly going to help ... you'll just keep thinking that you have it in the freezer. This doesn't have to be a life-long change ... but until you can confidently say I control food and it doesn't control me you need to trash it.

Next time, if you really must order a pizza ... BEFORE you order make sure you are ordering just enough to have for a reasonable dinner ... splitting a 4 square (2 slices each) and leaving nothing in the fridge/freezer will leave you feeling less guilty, and less tempted.

Trash it!

My husband and I finally started buying frozen pizzas, it's crazy that while we used to order 2-3 large pizzas and polish them plus a couple two liters of coke off in a weekend now we are perfectly satisfied with one small-ish frozen pizza. I keep plenty of goodies in the house because the moment I decide I want a snack and I don't have it in the house is when I hit up an ice cream shop for a monster sundae. Right now I have chocolate covered bananas (130 cals) and mini ice cream snickers (80cals) in the freezer along with frozen veggie French bread pizzas (260 cals per good sized piece).

I don't like to feel deprived and when I start thinking in terms of depriving myself of what I like I start resenting my diet changes and bomb it. The other thing that has helped me a TON is looking at my calorie goals as a weekly total rather than a daily. Some days I'm over, some days I'm under but for the whole week it balances out. For example I was over last monday by almost 1,000 calories and over on Tuesday by I think 200 but for the week I was under by 900. Makes it a lot easier to stay on track and not let one bad day derail my success and helps me plan for eating out without feeling guilty, like this coming weekend going to eat at cheesecake factory so I'm going to make sure that most days this week I'm 100-200 under goal so I have plenty of extra space in my calories for a passion fruit mojito and monster slice of coconut chocolate cheesecake!



Oh and for what to do with the pizza: freeze it in individual portions of 1-2 slices so you have a snack when you get a craving!

I hate leftover pizza! It always ends up in my belly.

eat the toppings, ditch the unhealthy crust.

I can't throw food away.

Don't be ridiculous. If you don't want it, throw it out. Or give it to your boyfriend. Your body is not a garbage disposal that has to accept every leftover.

I would throw it out. I never keep leftovers from restaurants or when I cook, since I know there is a high possibility it won't make it to the next day..:)
