    Don't give up!!! Do some research on pizza you like. Work your favorite food into your calorie allowance. Or as someone else suggested, make your own. That way you control how many calories you put on it. And you'll feel better without all that grease on there.

    DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!!!

    you have to splurge once in a while to a craving just in moderation. if this helps last nite I wanted a whopper and onion rings and I had them. I went over my calorie count for the day by 100 calories but enjoyed them. now today I am back to healthy choices.

    I do splurge on something once every 2 weeks.

    also search for healthier alternitives to your cravings, by doing this I have had what I wanted but a much healthier version and was satisifed.

    sorry for the poor spelling, spell check is not my friend. in fact the last time I used spellcheck, it said WTF?

    Not eating at all isn't healthy. Your body needs a steady supply of caloric intake. Not eating at all one day and then eating too much the next day does not equal 2 good days of eating. Start eating a consistent amount daily, and include those foods you love in moderation or swap out take out for eat in treats.

    Why don't you get a nice small pizza to sate your appetite, or a small portion of Chinese food? Perhaps invite some friends over so you have no choice but to share the food?

    IMO, you're more likely to give up if you're denying yourself what you really want. What you need to learn is moderation, and that takes a while to perfect.

    Good luck. You're strong enough to do this if you set your mind to it.

    Absolutely do this!!!!! So many times we try to not eat what we REALLY want only to eat everything else and end up with more calories!!! Or, we deprive ourselves something and that ends up being the ONLY thing we want from then on! Eat what you want, in MODERATION. You CAN do this!!!!!! Hang in there!!

    everyone has been so supportive with this, thank you so much, i was talking to my brother in law and he thinks I've lost weight, so i really don't care so much what the scales say, as long i can stick with it and get healthy, that is all that is important to me right now.

    Once again thanks everyone for your support :flowerforyou:

    Dont worry about the scales so much, focus on how your everyday clothes fit... water can be retained (very well by women) and muscle weighs more than fat. The scales will only make you discouraged. Keep that to a minimum, but notice how your clothes fit instead.

    This is a great idea. I find that if I deprive myself, I go crazy and pig out. You should definitely treat yourself, but have some self control at the same time. You can do this!!! hang in there!

    If nothing else you took the step to record what you're eating, and you took the time to ask for help, that to me says STRENGTH! Remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made and food was made to be controlled by YOU it wasn't designed to control you. Understand that we all have food that we just LOVE me...its sweets sweets and more sweets BUT we have to learn modification and self control. You now have to retrain the way think about food, react to food and eat food. YOU have to control it don't allow it to control you!

    Good luck! If you would like support feel free to add me! There is so much strength in numbers and SUPPORT!!
