Pizza (or, Things I'll Never Give Up)

Hot Pizza. Amen.

RUM

and pizza

and laffy taffy

Coffee creamer. I could switch to an entirely clean vegetarian existance if it allowed for french vanilla coffee creamer.

Pizza, ice cream, cheeseburgers, pasta, the list goes on and on. I just treat myself one or two days a week with one of these things, not all, and I have lost a total of 86 lbs doing this. I refuse to "give up" anything.

Cheese in all its glorious forms.

Give up?
Why? I am not giving up ANYTHING.
Seriously, if you want to deprive yourself of fabulous eating, go for it.
Not me - ever.
Life is to be lived:drinker:

^^^ THIS!

^^^ me too! giving up NOTHING (just have to starve myself for a day before eating my banana split) :grumble: :grumble:

I think its just every thing in moderation. of course, no one should have to give up pizza forever. That's just crazy talk. lol. i love my pizza. and there is so much other junk food that i'm addicted too, and i would never give up no matter what. for me tho, its just all about moderation, and fitting in what i want to eat, into my daily calorie goal. eat your pizza. don't feel guilty.

I eat it.. 2 slices, plain cheese, once a week. From a pizzeria, not a chain. It's not something I'm ever going to give up.

Exactly! I do the same, from restaurants that only use high-quality fresh ingredients. Will always love pizza - just keeping my portions in check now.

Chips and salsa at the Mexican rest. and ice cream.

POP-TARTS. I love pop-tarts. If I have room for it in my daily goal, I have one.
I don't deprive myself; I'm worried I will be unhappy and quit altogether.
More food I love: pasta, cheese, Mexican food, ice cream, candy, pizza definitely, so many other things.

Pizza, ice cream, italian food. I haven't given up most of the things I love. I have changed how much or the type of foods I eat... I will choose frozen yogurt over ice cream, thin crust pizza over thick, etc. I am not feeling deprived at all.

The one thing Idid give up completely was soft drinks. I loved an ice cold coke. I haven't had one in over a year. Never did like diet pop. Now I prefer water with lemon, or coffee, over any other drink.

Beer!

I will never give up cheese! Believe me, I've tried. Luckily, I've learned to like the light stuff. Everytime I go to my friends place, he's on the paleo diet and eats cheese with friggen EVERYTHING, and its the good stuff too. Oh em gee, I love brie. (rhyme unintentional, haha)
Also, buffalo sauce. It doesn't even have to be on chicken wings! It's about 3 days worth of sodium in one go, but there are worse things to be addicted to. :happy:

I've seen it firsthand. People saying there's no such thing as a healthy diet that includes pizza...only not as nicely worded. I completely agree with you about not cutting out what you love. If you expect to maintain this lifestyle you've got to be realistic. I would never give up chocolate (I've just switched to dark over milk) and I've gone from meat lover's pizza to a thin crust with feta cheese, ham, chicken, green peppers and tomatoes. It tastes great, is high in protein and you can eat like the whole thing without wrecking your diet.

The two things I actually have given up are peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches and white bread. I stiell will have some PB on some nice whole grain bread or PB and Graham crackers but I like PB and J sandwiches on some nice white italian bread wayyyy to much. So I have given it up all together. Everything else is in moderation, Ice Cream (well moderation sometimes), Cookies, Cake ect ect and when I do indulge it is not every evening maybe once a week ior even once a month except for ice cream If yo u have not noticed I got a thing for Ice Cream. Specially Hudsonville Deer Trax or Peanutbutter twist so I just dont buy it too often. Also for the most part I have given up all fast food maybe once every 3 or 4 months maybe.
