pizza-palooza!

Yo - the pizza guy is here - somebody pay him!

 
It's an office pizza party!

I'll have a slice, or two....but no crust!
Pizza Hut has generous toppings.

Thank you very much - but no thanks!
I'm able to say "live and learn" this week.
My stomach was actually growling! Grrrr! But no crust for me.
Not after last week's semi-indulgent carb-fest! (Buns!)

And the crust goes to .... 
Look at all the quack-quacks! And twice as many turtles!
And here's me up  5 pounds. My first actual gain.
When you are short, 5 pounds shows up unmercifully!
[I am 5'2".]  Betcha that 50 pounds shows up even more!
....................................................
I really had to ask myself all the key questions this week.
Is it worth it? Turns out, I think it is worth it.
Or am I being sidetracked from the heat injury last week?

LoCarb isn't perfect, but it is better than being where I was.
Will there be hungry days? Yes.
Missed meals? Yes.
Cakes that want to get eaten? Yes.
Impromptu office pizza parties? Oh, yes; most definitely!

Can other people eat the stuff with no problem?
I dunno. Is it "fair?" Hardly. 
Can I eat carbs and sweets like I once did?
No. Is that "fair?" I shouldn't think so.
But it is accurate. At least for now.
....................................................
Tell ya what. Here's my logic:
Go back and eat the cake and cookies and anything ya want.
As much as ya want. And come back and tell me how that's working for ya.
.....................................................
It's never just about the food.
We aren't just learning about diets.
We are learning about ourselves.

Hope your week is filled with splendor -
or Splenda, as the case may be!
Or at least sweetness and light!

  8. Oh man! I love Pizza Hut so much. good for you staying away from that crust. And the ducks appreciate it too. :)

    You're so right: it's much more than about food. We're learning about ourselves along the way. Sometimes it's fun; sometimes it's disturbing. Always interesting.

  9. The big question is disguised inside the little questions:
    Am I worth this kind of effort?
    On this level of form
    And/or on the higher levels of Thought that it represents!?

  10. Great choices, Anne! Good job ... plus, the ducks appreciated it, I'm sure. I posted a similar thought today, on deciding if something is worth it or not. Great minds, or Ann(e)s think alike? hahaha

  11. Pizza Hut, that is not even a choice for cheating. Ketchup, white bread and american cheese. Ugh..Good choice on the diet and in life..

  12. Killer Pizza....argghghgh. Love your post today, Anne, and so did the ducks. As soon as I learned that life wasn't fair, it made it so much easier :-)

    Getting over the fact that I'm short...not so much - lol. No-suger sweetness to you.

  13. You said: (in a very hidden way)


    Am I worth this kind of effort?



    Yes, Anne, you are worth this kind of effort. You, we, all deserve to have as much happiness as we can create in our lives. It is worth the effort. The journey of self-knowledge and new expression is an E ticket ride.
