Saying goodbye to an old friend!
Okay. So I am glad buddyslim is back, I like most of the changes, but I have lost some buddies, and been demoted from an Intern to a Freshman! YUCK! Hopefully, Dr. Marc can work out those kinks!

So today’s blog…

Last night I indulged. I did. I do NOT call it cheating, because I did it knowingly and willingly and I still wrote down every calorie consumed. I was over about 250 calories for the day though, so yes, it was an indulgence.

I had pizza!!! Normal, greasy, fatty, pizza from Dominos. I had been craving it for days and last night I gave in to that craving…

Now, I have had pizza lately, don’t get me wrong, but I usually get a very light, very healthy veggie pizza from a local chain here called Papa Murphy’s Take and Bake. (EXCELLENT PIZZA HERE FOLKS!!!)
rn

But it has been almost 5 months since DH and I ordered a pizza in…And so I ate it, and it was pretty good…
rn
rn
First: I only ate one and a half slices and I was full! Unbelievable!!! The old me could have put away at least 3-4 in a flash…
rn
rn
Second: At about roughly 3 a.m. in the morning, I was up out of bed like a rocket with a stomach ache from HELL!!! My body, apparently, rebelled against the junk I had fed it!
rn
rn
So as I laid on the couch waiting for the wonders of the Alka-Seltzer to kick in, I reflected on this…
rn
rn
And I decided that the pizza was good, but it wasn’t THAT good… So I thought perhaps it was time to say goodbye to one more bad habit. The time had clearly come… And clearly, my body no longer wants or needs that kind of junk…
rn
rn
As a matter of fact, I had a most delightful salad yesterday at lunch and really, that is the stuff my body now craves.
rn
rn
So this goodbye is not sad for me…I don’t think it means I will never eat a pepperoni and cheese pizza again either, for I am not that naïve! But I do think it means that my body now wants new, healthier things, based on the changes I have made, and since my body has been kind to me, I decided I shall be kind to it…

So goodbye for now my little pepperoni pizza! I’d tell you that you will be missed, but I am not so sure you will be!

rn
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING BUDDIES!!!!

Dawn, my body had the same reaction when I had my mini-binge, except I was sick all weekend.![](\"../img/smileys/31.gif\")
Thank goodness our bellies are smarter than our eyes when it comes to these things! Lessons learned are wonderful aren\’t they? We need then every once in a while to stay on track and remember our goals.
I need to say good bye to mr. pepperoni pizza lol. I hope you have a great thanksgiving.
HEY…HOW DID YOU SEND YOUR POST…I CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT…I’VE SENT 2…AND DONT SEE ANYTHING
You never cease to amaze me! Oh Dawn, you inspire me so! I can’t wait to be where you are right now…I can’t wait to say good-bye to some good, fun, yet harmful friends, like Chili Cheese Fries!! LOL!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Dawn,
What a great discovery! I had the same experience at a buffet last nite…I did well but I still had a tummy ache afterwards. Thank you for sharing and I’m happy to be reading and posting blogs again.
