OMG!!!!! I'm 8 POUNDS AWAY!!!
Gosh, I don't think I've had a frozen meal of any kind since starting my WLS journey. Once I started reading labels, I learned that even "healthy" frozen items are anything but healthy. I have to watch not only calories/carbs/protein, but also sodium because I have heart disease. For example, the Lean Cuisine Four Cheese Pizza has calories:350/carbs:57/protein:19, but the sodium is 580 mg. Carbs/Sodium way, way too high for me; calories and protein are ok though. These meals are almost as bad as fast food.
My pizza treat is low carb tortilla, with diced salt free tomatoes, mushrooms and/or peppers and/or onions, with 2% cheese. Yummy, Yummy!
Congratulations on being so, so close to goal -- I can understand your excitement! Way to Go!

When I hit goal, I bought myself a really gorgeous purse I'd wanted for years. ( then I bought a couple more just because. )
I think rewarding/ treating yourself is well deserved-and important, but honestly, food treats/rewards can lead you astray. You might very well be able to withstand the temptation for more processed carbs that pizza could bring, but why chance it?
I LOVE Mary's suggestion. It's still treating yourself, but not nearly as damaging.
I woke up in between a memory and a dream...
