Oh no no no – don’t even for a minute think that I might be giving up my all-time favorite food of all-time just because it’s making an appearance in a Thin Post here! More so, think of it as the metaphorical last pizza, I suppose…
Sorry to scare you like that – I certainly didn’t mean to alarm anyone! For what it’s worth, I did actually eat pizza for dinner last night, though … probably a lot more than I should’ve, along with plenty of other indulgences as of late, and so the basic idea behind this post was simply a public declaration that I’m finally done indulging in food for a while!
Between cookies and candies and snacks and sweets, it didn’t really come as much surprise to me that I sorta let things slip over the holidays. Especially with traveling home, I tend to be pretty nostalgic when it comes to food, and thus our vacation also became an opportunity for me to indulge in my favorite potato chip brand from up north that I can’t get anywhere close to down here, and the old pizza place that we used to order from all of the time, and even the grinder shop that I kind of grew accustomed to before I left, too! Add to that plenty of homemade favorites like sweet & sour meatballs and broccoli cheese casserole and even simple cheese & crackers, and well…
Needless to say, even when we got back home last week I kinda found myself having a hard time returning my diet back to earth, what with all of the super-sized portions that I’ve gotten used to eating over the last month or so. I don’t even want to think about how many extra pounds I might’ve possibly gained back during the whole ordeal … at this point I just want to start getting back on track again!
I think I’ve got a fairly good shot from this point out – my wife went grocery shopping last night and is prepared to start making us healthier meals for dinner starting again next week, and the majority of the cookies and treats from Christmas have just about dwindled down to nothing, thanks in particular to my D&D group who had no trouble whatsoever helping me polish off an entire container of Christmas cookies during our latest game last Friday night! The palate is just about clear, and thus next week I can actually start to truly begin the healing process…
But never you fret, pizza – I’ll no doubt see you again soon. Maybe with far more veggies and not nearly as many slices at one time, but I know in my heart that we’ll meet again soon, friend. I just need to get skinnier first so that I can still be enjoying you another 50 years from now, that’s all. 🙂
