I wish I had consequences when I eat wrong.  I have purchased a Tombstone pizza occasionally with the intent of having it for 3 or 4 meals.  Every time I have eaten it in 1 sitting...700 to 800 calories.  I have bought a slice at Sam's club with the intent of leaving the huge crust end, but the whole piece slides right down.  No consequences except a high blood sugar.  After I will feel less hungry but not feel any fullness.  I guess that is why I am still over 200 lbs.  I can't keep pizza in the house except for s small 400 calorie pizza which counts as a whole meal.  I can use a whole wheat pita or one of my Santa Fe tortillas to build my own pizza.  They usually add up to 400 calories too.  I try to do the best I can...day by day...meal by meal.  I watched a 600 lb. show on tv and I swear if I didn't count and measure, stock my pantry, not eat out too often etc. I would easily weigh 600 lbs. even after a RNY.  I like the taste of food.  I like food from any culture.  Portion control is another problem...1 is good, but 2 is better. This is why I hang out here posting my food plan, moving as much as I can, joining in on weight loss challenges at my health club, go to Weight  Watchers meetings and a support group offered by a surgeon (not my own) for guidance and support.  A Weight  Watcher leader told me once to stop eating as soon as I can, forgive myself and walk around the block when I start binge eating.  Feeling guilty can just lead to feeling badly about myself and more eating.  I hope you feel better today.  Tri 

Pizza is my weakness. Not a day goes by I don't think of it. Even when the carb cravings are gone, the memory of pizza never leaves and I miss it! I am a all or nothing type person so "things in moderation" is typically not for me. BUT last night I gave in and had pizza. NOT the end of the world is what my rational mind is thinking. But it is a huge worry for me. I KNOW myself. I know in the past it can be a slippery slope for me! "Giving in" to pizza can turn into a weekly "cheat" meal. A weekly "cheat" turns into weekends are free. And so on :( I need to let it go and move past this. Today, the next meal, these are what I can control now and what will matter. On the plus side, I have tummy cramps like crazy this morning, I'm guessing from carbs :) Should help the cravings from coming back ( temporarily anyways). Hope all are well.

CONGRATULATIONS on the smaller jeans!!! Have to LOVE that feeling :D Keep up the good/hard work!
