    From my experience, if you keep declining yourself stuff like that, you are setting up yourself to fail. Have that pizza, just remember to not go and stuff yourself to the point where you can’t walk because you’re full. Remember to eat slowly too.

      And halfway through your portion, pause and ask yourself “am I still hungry? Is this filling me?”

      Check in with ur tummy.

        We literally stand up and walk the dog before deciding. Usually we don’t want much if any more.

      you can also just make small modifications to decrease the calorie density of your meals, adding veggies is great.

      Also, life hack: you can eat basically as much fruit as you want when dieting, it’s so filling (due to the water and fibre) that you’re almost guaranteed to be full and probably quite sick of it before you consume a ton of calories.

      See, I’m an all or nothing kind of person. “Just the one slice” doesn’t work. I eat the whole pizza. I’ve had much more success with regimented diets. The one I’ve settled on, which has worked well for years, is intermittent fasting. I only eat in a six hour window and this basically means two satisfying meals of whatever. I have to try hard to overeat in that window. It also helps to cut down on snacks.

        That’s fair, if that works for you, then that’s great too :)

        For me, I know that I would fail fast, if I didn’t let myself have something unhealthy like that from time to time.
