TRUE CONFESSIONS - Pizza Hut was DIVINE!!!

[Guest guest]

Well, Friday and Saturday I had some low-intake days, 450 calories

Friday, only 250 Saturday. So I made up for it Sunday and pigged

out.

I went grocery shopping hungry (yes, I know better than to do

that . . .) I stopped at Pizza Hut and ordered a personal pan

pizza, Supreme, before I hit the grocery, and it was done when

I finished shopping. I had been thinking about the Pizza

since before I left home.

I tore that box open like a woman crazed. I ate a 1/4 slice

pretty fast with no trouble. I waited about 5 min. and ate

another 1/4 slice. Fortunately, on the way in the house,

I put the pizza on top of one of my grocery sacks and managed

to drop the pizza box, which of course came open, into the

cat's box on my way through the utility room into the house.

Undaunted, I had to try the Nature Valley Crunchy Cinnamon

Granola bars I bought during my famine shopping trip.

Ohmygoodness, they are SOOOOOOOOOOOO good -- crunchy and

tasty, and they gave *no* problems to the stomach. I ate 4.

Later, I had some ham on crackers. I've wanted ham since the day

after my MGB. Fat-free ham seems to be almost a perfect food, too.

Low in calories and fat, high in protein.

All in all, though, I had an 1100 calorie day. In the MGB veteran's

world, that's a humdinger.

But if you think about it, how many times have we all been on a

1200 calorie " diet " and it was impossible? Now, it's a feast.

This is terrific. Thank God I only bought one box of Granola bars,

though.

Kind regards,

Oh my Goodness ! Where did you put them?????

Too funny about the pizza. I agree though it's yummy! I can only handle a

slice now though, but it satisfies. I've found I'm picky about where I get

pizza from now since I can only eat a little bit.

So the pizza landed in the cat's box huh? Back in my days of dieting if I

needed to throw food out so I wouldn't eat it I would put it in the trash and

put kitty litter on top of us just to be sure I wouldn't have second

thoughts! lol.

I didn't eat them all at once, but I could pretty much eat two at one

sitting. But by the second set of two, I was so full from having

eaten so much yesterday, that I was like a kid coming back from the

fair -- bloated. Never wanted to see another granola bar or pizza

for

that matter. I guess that was my " binge " day. I had another pretty

high calorie day today, too, 750, but not as bad as yesterday!

I could eat two of the personal pan pizza slices (they're small),

which is about the same as one normal pizza slice, but I had to wait

a

few minutes between the two pieces and couldn't eat all the crust

from

the second piece because I was too full.

I have always liked pizza but I was never one to order it or even

think of it, but I'd eat it if someone else came up with the idea.

But for about the last week, I *really* wanted some pizza for some

reason. And it was good, too. But now, I don't want any.

I'm dealing with " head hunger " issues -- a compulsion to eat that has

nothing to do with being hungry. One example being that when I would

go shopping (before surgery), if I bought foods just because " that

sounds really good, " invariably, I would have tried some or all of

them by that night. I couldn't just put them in the cabinets and

fridge and get around to them. Often, I couldn't just eat one or two

of whatever it was, either, it would be the whole thing. A bag of

chips, for example, or a whole wrapper of crackers, or 15 or 20

cookies.

I tried to do that to a certain extent yesterday, which is how I

ended

up eating 4 granola bars after the pizza, as well as some ham. The

difference was that it *really* did leave me feeling bloated and too

full, and totally satiated. I didn't want any of those things today,

except some ham. I think I'm relearning, I'm just a slow study.
