Why Does Pizza Tempt Me?

I get cravings for pizza occasionally(usually when I see someone on tv eating it lol) but anytime I get it, it lives down to expectations... So whhhyyy do I still want it?

Why don't you just eat it and make it fit your targets then? Or alternatively, make your own pizzas, it is fun and you can control how much you put on them.

Then just remember how much of a letdown it is and don't order it.

It's very rare I'm disappointed in pizza, but I do sometimes feel that way about McDonalds. It never lives up to my childhood memories. So I don't get it. Unless I'm on the road, 100 miles from home, it's the only option, and I'm starving.

salt?
cheese?

Yeah, that's why I just don't bother with McDonald's (and its hamburger joint cousins) anymore. After years of not eating it, I thought I'd treat myself one day... imagine my surprise and disappointment to find that it just tasted like salty grease. No thanks.

For the pizza... wish I could help you. I'd pretty much kill to be able to eat a slice of real NY pizza again, but doing so would probably mean a week of stomach aches (I'm gluten sensitive). Either you learn after the first let down or two, you find better pizza, or you just keep letting yourself down!

(edited for grammar)

I think is a thing of modeation. Get ur pizza but with less cheese or whatever.

Best thing, as mentioned above, make your own pizza. You can choose the toppings that fit in your diet.

Listen to Italian songs and you feel like in a real "pizzeria"

salt?
cheese?

Read my mind. At a more basic level, we're just programmed to desire these things. I'd say if as a whole we were able to figure out how to get away from processed salts/sugars the majority of the World wouldn't be so out of shape to begin with, These are addictions we must break with time.

I was a sad panda the last time I bought fudge striped cookies. I LOVED those things as a kid, so I bought some and worked them into my goal, and then they just didn't taste as good as I remembered.

I did the same thing recently!! I figured out they didnt taste sa good because they no longer fit around my finger, which was my preferred method of holding them while eating as a child :laugh:

EAT IT
EXERCISE I OFF STAY UNDER CALORIES

I used to order pizza once a week, but it was always a let down too, even more so now for the amount of calories, fat, etc I'd "waste" on it. So I started making my own. This way I get to save on calories, money & regret haha. Anyways if you want to make your own crust, I posted a link a few days ago. I won't say it tastes just like the pizza you order, but it is quick, easy, and a lot healthier option. Give it a shot...the stand mixer does all the work. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1058832-pizza-base-recipe

Salt, fat, bread, yummy seasonings..CHEESE!

I can't understand NOT being tempted by pizza.

I've always wanted to try NY pizza! Maybe I should visit NY to try it.. Maybe it wouldn't be a let down then!

You will not be let down and you will have to deal with craving it more. Is that what you want to do?
Stick with the crap pizza and you won't eat as much.

I only crave NY pizza and ONLY from people that came from NY and make pizza here.

YES! I used to do that too. Now I kind of don't want to buy anymore childhood favorites because I don't want to be disappointed.
