weekend

[lnr]

Overall a nice quiet weekend, though I'm not looking forward to work in the morning. The rest seems to have done me some good though, so I guess I just see how it goes.

Kissing Jessica Stein was charming and fun if a bit of a copout in places. Our regular takeaway pizza place seems to be getting worse at getting orders right though. Nice to have pizza anyway, but if I don't lose weight this week I'll know why. Sometimes having a pizza is more important than the rate of getting thin though.

Possibly too early for bed, but I think I'm going to grab some supper and curl up with a book anyway.

Pizza

You're likely to know, or at least to be able to find out:

Bearing in mind that I know nothing more about Slimming World than what you have mentioned over the weeks, please would you tell me what the informed opinion is on the healthiness or otherwise of a takeaway pizza without cheese? (Specifically: 10", reasonably thin base, tomato sauce, onions, green peppers, black olives, garlic and chunks of tomato. It costs 3.9 Middlesbrough pounds; for the record, it also comes with a free little box of salad: a quarter of a tomato, one mingy slice of cucumber, approximately half of a smallish onion, about half a smallish onion's worth of red cabbage and about half a smallish onion's worth of lettuce.)

I have a theory (actually, it's more of a hope) that a pizza without cheese shouldn't be very fattening at all. Certainly it tastes just as nice, albeit rather different. It was a tip that I once picked up from some vegan friends and would be happy to pass on, if it passes muster.

I have to agree that sometimes its better to have a treat than to worry about loosing weight all of the time. Whilst its possible to make low-sin pizza, its just not the same as real honest to god pizza as you'd get from Pizza Express or similar.

Not that I can eat that stuff anyway these days.... however you can get some very nice wheat/gluten free pizza things from Sainsburys now (which thanks to the flour in them are just as bad as normal pizza, but are nice as a treat)
