Because it is there....

So how often have you eaten something "because it is there"
here is a fun fact about me...
I don't care about pizza (no offense to my very Italian in-laws the family recipe is wonderful)... my point is, how many people love it? Its a staple in our culture and in our diets. Personally I could live life just fine if I never ate it again, however it is an easy fix so that is why I do end up eating it... because it is there.

...it is also one of those magical foods that I can shovel in slice after slice, after slice... and not notice until I am WAY too full...
So if its not something I crave, and its something I know I over eat.... then WHY do I order it.... because it is there....
.... no one delivers a salad bar... and the unfortunate reality of the work I do involves long crazy hours where eating on the fly is required... so I have to plan ahead, and why shouldn't I? seeing how its not like I even love pizza anyway. I can plan out an entire production, choreograph a load in of a two story set in one hour, balance an 18 week performance schedule of two plays, 10 music concerts, a dance concert, three rentals, 10 practicum students, a staff of 6, three production meetings a week.... so on and so on....
But I can't manage to remember to pack a sensible lunch!

So final dress was today, I promised to feed my stage hands, but didn't plan ahead what that would be.... so I ordered pizza...

At least today I only had three slices... I walked away when I was full and not after the fact ...
Truth be told I would have lived with only two slices... at least it wasn't a half a pizza like I know I have packed away in the past.

Baby steps.
Baby steps...

Can I tell you how many times I've ordered a large pizza only to eat 1/2 of it.....and then chow down the other 1/2 an hour later?

One of my "million dollar ideas" is to have a restaurant that serves food in correct portions. Breakfast, lunch, dinner -- all correct portions. The benefit is that most folks *will* lose weight if they come to the restaurant. Who knows? Maybe SnapItFatty will need to branch out. ;)

And yes, you can be my co-host on my talk show. You can wear a jock and if someone says the daily secret word, you have to eat a box of Little Debbie Snack Cakes.

Deal?

You had me all the way up until the box of little debbie snacks... that would be SO much extra cardio...
...maybe there could be a "prize wheel" of various tasks if someone says the daily secret word...
Good times!
