    Why not have a slice or two and work it into your calorie goal?

    On your profile you say -
    "It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change"

    Will you never, ever eat pizza again? Like Ninkyou said, have a slice or two.... unless your new lifestyle really is to never, ever eat pizza again.

    Chew gum after your allotted slices - it could keep you from eating more "just because"

    If it fits into your calorie count for the day, have a slice or two. I had a personal size Gluten free cheese pizza yesterday for dinner. It was yummy!

    Good job. Life is to short to skip on the foods you love. Moderation is key, and it helps most people from binging on those things down the road.

    Grab a salad and supplement with one slice of your very fave pizza. Pizza is a great balanced food! Carbs, veggies, dairy, protein, fats....YEAY! Eat your one slice SLOWLY (don't inhale it, I think that's where pizza takes us wrong...we eat fast and overeat before we get satiety signals!) and enjoy every delicious bite!

    I think I'd cry if I had to eat one slice of pizza.

    Go full or go home.

    I caved and had pizza the other day. I didn't eat much because after a couple of weeks of eating healthily, it tasted like what it was - junk! Have a slice, have two/three if you want. And then you can move on!

    Awesome job. That's what moderation is all about. :)

    There's nothing wrong with eating only 1 slice. And maybe that 1 slice was enough to fill her up. Saying "Go full or go home" is what got alot of us here in the first place... eating too much of something, getting to that uncomfortably full feeling, etc. Not much moderation happening in those times, right? Of course, if you can fit more slices until you get that full feeling into your calorie goal, then go for it. :)

    Caved? Pizza isn't junk, unless you buy junkie pizza. ;) Pizza is bread, tomato sauce and cheese. Not the healthiest of choices if eaten daily or to excess, but certainly not junk.

    Sorry but pizza isn't junk. Just sadness in that post

    Well, you live in the NYC area, though. I live in CT with tons of good pizza and I get what you're saying...BUT.

    Having lived in Virginia for a stretch, allow me to point out that while very little tri-state pizza is remotely close to "junk," sadly the rest of the USA cannot say the same. VA pizza=sadness. Our choices were Dominos, Papa John's or Pizza Hut. None of which can I approve.

    THIS. Unless of course you don't want the pizza, then don't. But if you're like me and most, you do want it. Just eat a slice, work it in, own it :)

    Just really greasy and icky. I appreciate you American guys generally have good pizza but outside of an Italian restaurant, pizza in the UK is mainly junk food.

    Not that I don't love pizza. It's probably my biggest vice.

    Oh, yeah. I haven't been in the UK since 1997, but as of then, pizza there was like going in the US Southeast. Ick.
