    Go ahead and eat the pizza, but start training yourself to eat it slowly - i.e. grab whatever piece you are going to eat, put it on a plate, eat one bite - SET THE PIZZA DOWN while you chew that bite for as long as possible. Take small bites, chew for a long time before swallowing and set the pizza down while chewing. Even better - walk away from it while chewing so you have to walk back to take the next bite (i.e. go clean something, coming over to take a small bite every few minutes). Stretch that one piece out as long as possible. It wont stop you but it will minimize the damage!


    What a great idea!

    If you love pizza you will just have to find a way to fit it into your daily plan. 1 or 2 slices of pizza doesnt sound too bad to me as long as the slices are not massive. good luck.

    I never say no to pizza, I just limit the amount I eat so that it fits within my diet.

    I work part time (typically Friday nights and Sundays from 1pm-8/9pm) at a major pizza chain. I eat pizza. Not in huge amounts, and not everyday. Perhaps have gone for the past 2 weeks without pizza (just not in the mood for it) and that's odd for me.

    Pizza is not bad. Just make wise choices about what you put on it (regular or light cheese, don't go crazy on the fatty meats) and how much of it you have.

    As several other posters have said, then don't say no to the pizza! Just say no to more than a slice or two. I've found that I can't truly cut out anything from my diet, or I crave it so bad that nothing sounds good, I gorge, and end up feeling miserable. Moderation is key.

    Oh God I would never manage, pizza is the absolute best. And I cannot have one slice, cheese hits the tongue and that's it - I'm eating the entire thing.

    I don't know what advice to give. If you can manage only one slice, do so. Either way, eat most of your calories during the daytime and rather go slightly hungry to bed. Stay full around pizza. Bring heavy proteins that will fill you up.

    Try just having 2 slices. I believe in you, lovey. Obviously you have some amazing level of strength to work in a pizza place because gosh I could not handle, I would go crazy with cravings wow.
