Popular Post Dottleshead ★ Posted April 17, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted April 17, 2020 I was hungry. Real hungry. My wife has been working her ass off. I broke down and ordered a pizza. It was a Hawaiian pizza. I had 5 slices. I'm pretty sure the weight I lost staying home these last 3 weeks was just put back on. I was determined to eat it. Not good for the heart disease folks. What can I say? I just broke down. And I was not disappointed. It was from Brunos and it was grubbin'. It was everything I was hoping it to be. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted April 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted April 17, 2020 I work with an eyetalian guy who thinks Hawaiian pizza is an affront to pizzanity. I otoh, say free and available pizza is free and available pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being so hard on yourself.......I mean you're human after all. One without any backbone and gumption it's true.....or any self-respect or moral fibre........but still human.

By the way, onbike, lay off the Scotch so early in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, onbike, lay off the Scotch so early in the morning. It's true that I'm drinking a little more.....but I do mean a little as I don't drink much by most people's standards. This Lock-down has meant that I'm learning things though. Things I have learned from this time. It is not possible to sit down for five minutes without putting something in your mouth. Those jobs…delayed until you had time… now have other reasons for not being done. Someone….somewhere….and without anyone noticing, has done a time-shift. It is now perfectly permissible to have your lunch at four-forty while still in your pyjamas. There is now no appetite to watch serious programmes on television or read serious books…..you find that you have an appetite for rubbish of every sort…and the more rubbishy the better. That before you store your empty bottles, it is imperative that they be thoroughly washed…..as not to do so means that storing these in bulk causes an enormous stink. Not to do so means that you run the risk of the Postman reporting you for running unlicensed premises…..the officious idiot. It is acceptable, when answering a wrong number…..to engage the caller for a good hour and a half listening to him talk about his wife’s bladder weakness…and for the whole thing to be really engrossing. Quinine pills may serve the same purpose as Tonic in preventing cramp…..but Gin and Tonic means that you don’t care if it ever gets any better. I have learned that there is no good reason to change your underwear more than once a week. To do more…. is an affectation and a mere sop to the overly fastidious. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok to cheat once and a while. We make our own pizza with paper thin crust but just the other day we cheated. Wo46 found a coupon for a Hawaiian pizza and we ordered it. I ate 3 slices of thicker crust and we shared a porter beer. Everyone knows that I watch my diet to keep my diabetes in control but a thicker crust pizza and a dark beer will throw your glucose levels through the roof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer has been the other side of the equation. To maintain, calories in = calories out. To lose, calories in < calories out. I won't win (don't want to win) a battle with food. I love eating. I find eating healthier in general, and then poorly occasionally, is fine as long as I stay active. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted April 17, 2020 Share #9 Posted April 17, 2020 In the past 2 wks., I have had gourmet cake twice. Today will be a 3rd time. Then I'm going back to work later this month.

petitepedal ★ Posted April 17, 2020 Share #15 Posted April 17, 2020 You know Dottie..you have to have balance...I know you are trying to lose weight and do the right thing after all your heart stuff...but it has to be balanced and livable. So maybe next time, start your pizza meal with a nice salad...if possible..make your own pizza ( you have more control over the quality of the product..I have found it is still pizza and still awesome but it is less salt, sugar and fat than the bought product)..and eat 3 pieces..instead of 5..feed the craving with control.

groupw Posted April 17, 2020 Share #22 Posted April 17, 2020 Don't sweat it, Dottie. Having a "cheat" day where you give yourself the OK, is actually a more sustainable way to diet than a totally perfect, strict regimen. My diet when I'm working is far from perfect, but I have been able to maintain a reasonably healthy weight, build and lifestyle. I found I actually ate better when I was in quarantine. I could eat when my body needed it, not when it was scheduled for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted April 17, 2020 Share #24 Posted April 17, 2020 Dottie, I doubt you can gain it all back from one meal. One cheat is not a big deal. Just go back to normal now. Maybe do a fast today to cut down your cals, and drink a ton of water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
