Skip a meal or get a pizza?

LetMeHibernate · 15/11/2023 17:23

I really can’t be bothered to cook, I’m on my own so it doesn’t affect anyone.

Using the word pizza to refer something from Papa Johns, Dominos or Pizza Hut.

YABU - just go to bed and make something nourishing tomorrow

YANBU - get a pizza

Yuck! Don't eat that garbage! Especially right before bed. Just go to sleep and fix a hearty breakfast in the morning!

Sorry, too late, she’s already done it. 🤣

It wasn’t right before bed. It was about 6pm.
Pizza isn’t necessarily garbage either. Plus not every meal has to be virtuous.

@LetMeHibernate Did you have leftovers for breakfast this morning? How are you feeling today?

SurprisedWithAHorse · 16/11/2023 15:18

How was it? I hope it was delicious.

RumNotRun · 15/11/2023 18:32

@LetMeHibernate that pizza sounds lush, which company did you order from? Asking for a friend of course 😉

coffeedrinking · 15/11/2023 18:30

You deserve it. Enjoy it. Order sides too.

AnOldCynic · 15/11/2023 18:29

@LetMeHibernate don't eat it all, you have to have some left for breakfast.

I've just had toast but I'm sure that's not going to carry me through...

Scarlettpixie · 15/11/2023 18:11

Enjoy your pizza!

RosesOnGuitars · 15/11/2023 18:08

For now, there’s a Philly cheesesteak pizza coming (minus steak, plus sweetcorn) along with a couple of sides and some cinnamon things for pudding. It’s so outrageously overpriced I will have to eat it.

I love that you’ve gone all in with sides and pudding too. 🙌 Hope you feel a bit better after it.

TheChosenTwo · 15/11/2023 18:01

I was about to say it’s very early to eat dinner, wait a couple of hours and see if you’re hungry then.
But I see you’ve decided to go for it - enjoy! Hot cheese pizza delivered to the door is hard to resist and it sounds like you need some stodgy comfort food 💐

I know what you mean, I usually have a great appetite but mine goes zip when I’m feeling sad.

Im going to go against the grain and say that if you order a pizza and then just pick at it you’re going to feel more miserable about the wasted money/pizza. Or you’ll eat it and feel stuffed and sad…

I’d Deliveroo myself a few picky bits - supermarket deli pots, bread roll, some ham - and then it’s not too overwhelming. That’s just me though!

Hope things pick up :)

That’s such a good idea, I will definitely try that next time.

Down in the dumps you say? Pizza will cheer you up and fill you up.

Hope you feel better soon

RosesOnGuitars · 15/11/2023 17:47

I’m a bit down in the dumps, usually have a great appetite.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe some pizza and then an early night with a good book or film might help? Hope you’re ok. x

I had brunch around midday, homemade tortilla chips with salsa and parmesan.

Then you definitely need to eat before bed. Get ordering!

Any reason for your lack of appetite? Are you ok?

Get the Greek and it will be absolutely beyond reproach.

gotomomo · 15/11/2023 17:33

Get the pizza, or better still a kebab with salad, you can fool yourself into believing it's healthy

When did you last eat?

I’d probably just get pizza anyway tbh. Papa johns vegan garden party for me. 😋

It's a bit of a waste if you aren't really hungry, I'd just have toast or noodles or whatever.

RosesOnGuitars · 15/11/2023 17:31

Can't you just have a piece of toast? Can you eat a whole pizza?

There’s always one. “Oh no not a whole pizza.” 🤣
