Should I have one last bad day...?

What I have learned from this thread is that, while people have lots of different thinking and approaches to their lifestyles, almost everyone loves pizza.

Or you could just keep putting it off. Further and further. Until one day you wake up, look in the mirror and wonder: "HOW IN THE HELL DID i GET TO BE 57 YEARS OLD?"

Or you could do the work now. Sure it may not be easy for a bit. But then you might get to enjoy the hell out of the rest of your life. Instead of sitting here at this end of your life, wondering "what if ..." "What could i have done that I would have loved to have tried if I was in better shape then"?.

A day becomes a week becomes a month becomes a year becomes 38 years. Take the first step as soon as you can. Then enjoy as much as you can for as long as you can. It may be only one meal. Just don't let it become the excuse for the next bad meal. And then the next.

Hey!I think that you should NOT have a last bad day.Instead, you should have a last bad MEAL.And I think it should be the lunch, althought it is known that the calories from the foods that we eat at breakfast are burnt through the day.After a sleep of about 8-9 hours or so, the metabolism is a little bit slow and food like pizza or drinks like soda won't be really good for you.Also,you should NOT have that meal at dinner because, when you eat things like pizza or drink soda that are hard to digest, you may encounter difficulties at sleeping.

However, you should not TOTALLY remove the food and drinks that you like from your diet.You can eat and drink less from that stuff and you can find a healthier version of it.For example, Cassey Ho from blogilates came up with a ton of different recipes that are healthy and low on calories compared to their unhealthy bros and sis . She made a recipe for pizza with cauliflower dough and full of nutritous veggies but you can always add some chicken or turkey ham (I ,personally,love turkey ham it's really delicious).Just search blogilates on youtube.She has also some really good workouts that I love.

One thing I want to say about soda is that you should never choose the diet/0 calorie one.Choose the normal one that has ACTUALL SUGAR,not fake sugar.Look at this:

"What is Aspartame (FAKE SUGAR)?

Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods.

What is it made of?
Aspartic acid. Excess free excitatory amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid in our food supply are causing serious chronic neurological disorders and a ton of other symptoms.

What are the dangers of consuming aspartame?
These include: cancer, multiple sclerosis, ALS, memory loss, hormonal problems, hearing loss, epilepsy, alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, hypoglycemia, dementia, brain lesions, neuroendocrine disorders, and many more diseases.

Acute reactions include:
Headaches/migraines
Weight gain
Nausea
Abdominal pains
Fatigue (blocks sufficient glucose entry into brain)
Sleep problems
Vision problems
Anxiety attacks
Depression
Asthma/chest tightness.

What products are aspartame found in?
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener, so the majority of products that it is found in are labeled light/diet/fat free/sugar. These include products such as:
Soda/Diet soda
Sugar free Jello
Ice cream
Jams/jellies
Yogurt
Juice/vegetable drinks
Nutritional bars
Pudding
Candy
The best way to avoid aspartame is to avoid any foods labeled ‘diet.’ This usually means a ton of chemicals but reduced/no calories.

There is a lot of controversy over the use of aspartame. It is in no way beneficial to your health, you should avoid this chemical at all costs."

Also,try to switch for the healtier version, as I said before.Instead of milk chocolate choose dark chocolate but choose a good one that has at leat 70% cocoa in it. The best I could find in my country has 85% cocoa which is great!Take a look at this:

And if you find it hard or boring to workout, incorporate exercises into your routine.Do squats while you are brushing your teeth, dance while you wait for your food to heat , walk to work etc.

START TODAY!Yesterday is past, you can't change it. And tomorrow is not certain.SO START TODAY! Hope this helped you and excuse my grammar/spelling mistakes . English is not ym native language.

What I have learned from this thread is that, while people have lots of different thinking and approaches to their lifestyles, almost everyone loves pizza.

Wisdom.

why not have a thin crust pizza loaded with veggies light on the sauce and cheese and have water and incorporate it into your calories? with a nice salad?

You do need to learn moderation or you will not be successful long-term. You will be imperfect at it while you are learning. Accept that.

And I would not be assigning moral values ("good", "bad") to things that can't be measured on a moral scale (food).

And I wouldn't do it if I were you. Pick up where you are, imperfections and all. If you wait until the time is right, it will never happen. A month from now you'll wish you had started today.

Oh, Jesus, just buy a slice of pizza at a time, that's what I do. It's not hard to find a place that sells by the slice.

I've lived in quite a few cities and states. Finding a place that just sells a slice is much easier in some places. for example New York City, than others places like a small town in Indiana.

Bad days always lead to more bad days for me. I can only handle a bad meal - not a bad day.

I quit cold turkey!! .. If I talked to myself into saying good bye I Would still be saying goodbye.. I quit sodas completely .. thats where most of my sugar intake came from.. .. add me I love making new friends who are looking for weightloss goals similar to mine:)

Cheers Ash!!

Don't give up anything. Just moderate. A slice or two of pizza at dinner? Fine. A slice for breakfast? Fine.

An entire pizza at one meal? Likely not fine.

Moderate, don't give up. Don't give up ANYthing you love to eat, or you'll last about 4 days and quit. Just have smaller amounts, a bit less often. . . or work it into your alotted calories.

A friend of mine LOVES english muffins. So every day he has ONE, at breakfast. And he builds the rest of his day around that, you know? Because if he couldn't have it, he knows he wouldn't last on this change of lifestyle. So, he's figured that out-- and it works for him.

You have to figure out what you MUST HAVE . . . and what are options. Whatever you MUST HAVE . . . figure out a portion size that works, and build your daily calories around that.

But don't cut out of your diet things you can't manage without. You need joy with your calories, y'know? So figure out how to fit the joy in there.
