It finally happened. I just didn't want to cook. I didn't want to do anything but have food brought to me and eat it.
We ordered pizza last week. Papa Johns Double Bacon 6 Cheese on original crust. My oh y was it tasty ... for a bit. I ate 3 pieces and should have stopped at 2 (well should have never started but I was beyond that)
While it tasted good going down, it sat in my gut like a brick for 2 days. It took almost 5 day before I felt "normal" again. It was just too much. Lesson learned! I used to think that anything would be OK once I'm into maintenance. I really thought sugar would do me in more than the carbs. But I was wrong (very very painfully wrong). And now I know.
It was a good lesson to learn now while I still am (mostly) in the good eating habit. It will be very easy to stray once I'm free to eat as I please. It reminds me that "while all things are [will be] permissible, not all things are profitable"
This was certainly not profitable. I made cauliflower crust pizza later in the week and reveled in it. How great it tasted and how much better I felt eating it. I may even try a (turkey) bacon and a couple of different cheeses (if I can find soy equivalents) version some day. But for now its back to basics.
I suspect this will not be a losing week - I'm hoping for break even but think it might be a gain :( Again, lesson learned. I actually feel OK about it. I made the choice, I ate the pizza, I now get to deal with the consequences.
