Am I cheating or am I living normal?

I posted the other day that I was craving pizza at two months post op Well, I finally caved and had one slice of pizza. I absorbed the excess oil off with a paper towel before I even got started. My daughter always does that. Then I ate very slowly, chewed slowly, savored every bite, it took me about a half hour to eat and now I am so satisfied. I didn't get sick or anything. I started getting that queasy, uneasy feeling there at the end but it passed soon. Then this morning, I fried about 8, 1/2 strips of bacon (crisp), fried an egg in Pam and ate the egg and 2 of the 1/2 strips of bacon and felt so satisfied that I finally was able to eat a regular breakfast instead of a steady breakfast of oatmeal for the past two months. My question: Am I cheating or am I just living normal? This afternoon I made chili, ate about 1/2 bowl of that. I feel like I've finally broken through a barrier here where before I was only able to eat semi-solid foods, no meat at all until this weekend. What do you think, family? Am I okay here? I can't take many more protein shakes, especially in the winter time. I can see getting back on them this spring and summer but not now.
