    Believe me when I say that I'm totally not trying to criticize you, but perhaps you would have been less likely to binge on pizza if you haven't deprived yourself of real food for the last three days. Liquid diets are for when you are sick. Not for weight loss.

    That's not so bad. If you ate the entire pizza, that would be one thing. But you had three pieces. Each piece is about 300ish calories each. Don't be so hard on yourself. It happens. Just start fresh tomorrow.

    my fiance and i got a free large pizza coupon in the mail and i had 3 slices. i feel like a failure like do i even want this? what is my problem? i want to cry besides the fact i just got off a liquid only diet and straight to 3 pieces of pizza. so i feel sick

    You've probably heard this but it bears repeating: "Under-eating always results in over-eating." Everyone binges after something like that. Your body's survival instinct is stronger than your self-control.

    A liquid diet is something that no one has any business being on unless your jaw is wired shut. Real, healthy, sustainable weight loss is SLOW and the result of LIFESTYLE CHANGES and includes plenty of calories and real food.

    If you get impatient and try to hurry weight loss faster than its normal or healthy for your body, you will only get to your next plateau or your next binge faster.

    What is your exit strategy here? Lose the weight with a liquid diet, reach your goal, then go back to normal? The "normal" that got you here in the first place? But you will somehow do differently this time? Right now is when you get to learn the day-to-day habits of healthy choices and healthy weight regulation. But as you can see, losing weight in an unsustainable way like a liquid diet has built-in failure. Set yourself up for SUCCESS instead. Incorporate the small, lasting changes into your life that will ensure you never end up here again.

    Words I live by: Never do anything to lose weight that you aren't willing to do the rest of your life to maintain it. :flowerforyou:

    I'm just here for the vicarious cheese. I haven't had cheese since January, I found out it was giving me problems so... Anyway back in the day I would have eaten 3 slices and called it a nice snack.

    I failed today too.

    I ate two chicken sandwiches from McD, french frie, ice cream, chocolate bar and rice and chicken (homemade) for dinner. Long story short, I binged big time. I am stressed the **** out today so that's my excuse.

    3 slices... You'll be fine...There is nothing wrong with pizza every now and then

    Although if I had just come off an all liquid diet this would be me:

    I'd also feel like a failure if I could only eat 3 slices of pizza. That's only like 900 calories.

    I am going to be blunt because this post concerns me.

    Of COURSE you ate 3 slices! When you are constantly undereating and not getting what your body NEEDS, your body is going to rebel. Feed your body correctly on a daily basis and then maybe, just maybe, you will have better self control next time. Stop depriving yourself.

    And a liquid diet? Really?

    Though seriously... go eat more. You are way under your calories today (and most days).

    eating 3 slices isnt rebellious, it normal.

    I checked your diary, you're almost 800 calories under your goal for the day. Do you know what that means? It means you can have 2 more slices of pizza, and still be on track. Fer serious.

    I wish I could only eat three pieces....I try to eat three and sit there and stare at the box of how many sad little pieces are left out of my belly and gobble them down

    hahahhaha this is exactly what I do! Im like ohhh these poor bits of food will be so sad if they get thrown in the bin and all their friends are in my belly...guessss ill just have to eat them too! (please note: i do not actually think food has feelings, haha)

    You still came in at 900 calories UNDER your goal. You sound like you suffer from some form of disordered eating. Shame and guilt, even when you're way under your calorie goals does not sound healthy. Good luck!

    The whole purpose of this weight loss is going to be to live life how you would if you were not trying to lose weight. I ate 4 pieces of pizza the other night and guess what? I didn't feel bad whatsoever.
    I think you are being too hard on yourself. You can't always only drink liquid so, why do a liquid diet? That's not healthy and it's not something that you would be able to maintain for the rest of your life.
    When you think of how you would like to live your life 5 years from now when you are maintaining all of the weight that you lose, can you imagine only drinking and never having 3 slices of pizza? As long as you aren't eating an entire pizza every day for every meal, trust me- you're fine!

    Log it and move on. Things happen, but it makes no difference to dwell on it. Make your next meal a better one!

    What? A liquid only diet? I would eat more pizza if I were you.

    3 slices is no big deal, for serious.

    Feeling like a failure is not going to help you achieve your goals. We all eat food. We all go over sometimes. You need to learn to be ok with it.

    Not being mean here, but the only people that should be on liquid diets are the ones in a coma. Eat more pizza. :)

    I was hospitalized for my gallbladder about 8 months ago or so, and I was jaundice with bad liver numbers so they couldn't perform surgery on me until my numbers went down....I couldn't even be on a liquid diet, I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything for almost 4 days and 5 days without food..;...the last 2 days of the week long stint I was allowed to have broth and jello....WHY ANYONE WOULD VOLUNTEER TO DO THIS IS BEYOND ME!!! It was sheer torture. I told my dad as soon as I bust out of this joint we are going to freaking dennys to chow down, and I ate im sure almost 2000 cals in one sitting

    and again, 3 pieces of pizza isn't bad at all, and you were 900 cals under your goal.
