I took a calculated risk yesterday, but man, am I bad at math.
All joking aside, I gave into an urge I’ve been having for awhile and ordered a 10” pizza from what used to be my regular weekly place last night. Ate the whole thing in one sitting.
And you know what? As I was eating it, I wasn’t thinking, “oh mah gerd, ah have missed yew so”. I was thinking “wow, okay, THIS is what I was so pumped to eat?” Don’t get me wrong, it was pizza, so it was good. But it didn’t make me regret my new regular foods. It didn’t make me want to backslide. I actually got more excited to eat a pear and kiwi later on than I did for that whole pizza.
But it was important for me to make that step, so my brain stopped freaking out about that fear of missing out. Now, when my brain is remembering what pizza used to taste like, I can cut it off by thinking, “but yeah, wasn’t worth the calories and didn’t even satisfy me like it used to.” It was convenient, yeah, but I could have baked a frozen cauliflower pizza and satisfied that same craving, in 1/10 of the calories.
Yes, I put on roughly a pound from that binge. But that pound is something I can lose. The knowledge that I’d rather binge on fruit than pizza is worth a lot more.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, everyone!
