Needing encouragement!

You'll be fine if you're under your calorie goal, just keep going and try to make healthier choices, your body will thank you for it I find pizza actually makes me more hungry when I eat a slice, so try to stay away as much as possible!

I go with 'everything in moderation' if I really want something AND it also fits in my calorie goals for the day I have it. I think that depriving yourself of things you want tends to usually lead to binging sooner or later. I have lost 36lbs in 2.5 months doing it this way and it hasn't slowed down my weight loss.

I almost wanna call troll shenanigans at this question being asked...but I wont. A calorie is a calorie... it doesn't matter where it comes from, so being under your daily calorie goal means there's no mathematical logical way you can gain weight. The only outside factors from specific foods that you eat come from non-calorie effects; i.e. sodium > water retention > false fluctuated gain in weight. Plus, depending on the foods you eat may make you not feel full and/or not have the adequate nutrients to benefit other aspects of health besides weight, such as blood pressure, glucose levels, essential vitamins and minerals, etc. But all in all, calories are undiscriminating among food. 300 calories from a slice of pizza is the same caloric value as 300 calories from a large plate of vegetables. As long as you haven't gone over your goal, you're fine, in terms of weight loss.
