Make your own healthier version on a whole wheat pita! A little cheese, a little tomato sauce, fresh oregano and one of those turkey pepperoni products.0

i am a pizza junkie and I know that craving. If you can control yourself have a little but if not think of how bad you will feel tomorrow when you think of all the useless calories!!0

What I do when I want pizza is make myself a healthier version. I use the Flatout Flatbread wraps and bake them in the oven until they are firm and then load them up with reduced fat pizza sauce, 2% milk mozzerella cheese, turkey pepperoni or ham and pineapple and maybe some veggies. Tastes great and they aren't bad for you!0

Weight watchers do AMAZING pizzas for around 400cals for a whole pizza SO YUM0

I make a grain free pizza that's like 400 calories for a quarter of it but it's so amazingly filling you won't need another piece0

Get a smaller package of bagel bites! They're not NEARLY as greasy & can help with the craving! Just don't eat the whole box, 4 of them have 210 calories. Eat them slowly. Smell them first. Look at them. Take a bite, chew it. Enjoy the flavor. Swallow it. Wait a moment. You'll find you don't want NEARLY as much as you think you do! Cravings work like that. If you inhale it, THAT's when you over eat & do damage! Denying yourself until you DO binge is also a harmful habit. You have to be able to allow yourself to eat those things that are "temptations" but moderate what you consume. It's a process, and there will be backsliding moments, but as long as you know it's not a failure, but a moment...they you can keep moving!0

I crave Pizza ALL THE TIME!!! It's the only 'takeaway' I actually crave. I am excited because Dominos do those under 400cal ones now so will be getting one of them one day! Till then, I will just tell the craving to be quiet for a wee while! :laugh:0

OMG, I am reading this and the banner ad is for Papa John's....really MFP....really??
What everyone else said is true and I would have given the same advice.
1) You'll wake up with pizza regret (proably when you go to log it)
2) You can make a healthy option at home
3) If you can eat just one or two slices and KNOW that is all you will eat, then pick up the phone and get that pizza guy on over (I had one slice for dinner myself!)0 -
I'm a huge pizza junkie, so I buy those little individual mama rosa's cheese pizza's. Not exactly healthy for you, but only 310 cals for one (can't remember the other nutrtional information off the top of my head but it's not bad).0

Get your pizza--you're journey is all about teaching yourself to be able to eat and not over do it, have a slice and a salad, then call it quits. I eat pizza when I want it and do it with out guilt but I do not over indulge.0

BREATH!!!!
now ask yourself, "will this help me get closer to my goal or farther from it ".
it all comes down to how bad do you want it? (to reach yr goal that is)
those thoughts will always pop up in yr mind it happens to all of us, you just have to change your mind,really think of something else, reach out to yr friends here and do not dwell on it., now if you find you must have it: dont order a entire pizza buy 1 slice and drink plenty of water, then move on because the longer you dwell on it the worse the temptation gets.0 -
Thanks everyone!!
It's true, I would've hated myself afterwards for this!
I made myself an healthier version, with salsa, tomatoes and a little cheese... yummy!
I'm a happy camper now...0 -

I share your bemusement!! Banner ads shouldn't be there to push us over the edge...0 -
Rocco DiSpirito wrote a cookbook called "Now Eat This", he takes comfort foods and reworks then to be less calories. He has a couple pizza recipes in there that are awesome! I make it with a wheat crust and turkey pepperoni. It's Yummy!
