I work with pizza everyday HELP!

It's NOT pathetic to be weak to pizza! Maybe it would help if you didn't think of pizza as a "forbidden" food because then you'd want it more. Tell yourself that you can eat pizza whenever you want, you just choose not to eat it today.

Also let yourself have a slice sometimes and ENJOY it slowly in front of other people instead of scarfing down a whole pie secretly. Pizza is allowed but log it and stay in your calorie allowance. You can do it!

I work at the movies so being surrounded by popcorn for my entire shift is not exactly easy to overcome. Not to mention all those candies and ice-creams. Some days it's easy to give in. If I really can't beat it I allow myself something small and make sure I have room for it. Bargaining with yourself is usually the key. I allow myself to get something small on my break after I've eaten the lunch/dinner I've brought or to get it after my shift. By the time it's over I don't want the item any more! When I watch a movie I bring water and allow myself one treat. I still bring popcorn home every once in a while to share with my boyfriend who loves the stuff. I may purchase one sweet treat but he always gets popcorn to share so I end up with a generous serve. It's delicious and I love delicious food. Make it fit your life somehow

Can you split some pizza with a coworker or friend after a shift? Maybe go somewhere else to buy a treat food? My coworker always goes to the juice bar down the way on her break during a long shift. Could you make pizza for dinner that night at home using naan bread and toppings?

If I work with the food for too long, I eventually end up HATING it... but I could never imagine hating pizza.

Here's a crazy idea: If you're getting free slices, can you make a deal with surrounding restaurants? Trade lunches with someone? I used to trade Chinese Food for Pizza Hut Pizza all the time.

If you really like pizza, try eating before you go to work? I really love good pizza. I don't know what I would do if I were in your boat. Sorry.

^This^

Prepare as best you can .............eat a salad first.........choose a thin crust all veggie slice whenever possible.

Good luck

I love pizza. I have to eat it at least weekly. There is just something about it. Will never give it up. But, now I only eat 2 pieces.

I decorate cupcakes for a living..... I'm in the same boat.

Yes It must be hard for you but just control yourself.

Mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

Seriously, if you want it bad enough, you will refuse it. I wish there was a magic dust or something but there is only will power.

There is a magic dust that makes you not want to eat pizza...or anything else...

Yeah that's bad magic lol good one

at my gym they offer pizza for free one night of the month.. maybe you can do that, tell yourself that you can have that pizza,,but just not today. or if you are really not able to resist, find out the calories in a slice and eat it and then EXERCISE IT OFF. Exercise cancels out too many calories that throw you over your calorie goals.
