To eat the same cheap pizza every week (or more)

[Pizzamm]

For around the last 5 years I’ve enjoyed eating the same oven pizza once a week or more. I know it’s really bad for me but I really look forward to it. I think I might actually have a problem. Has anyone else become obsessed with a food?

Sounds harmless in the grand scheme of things really

If that's your worst habit, I wouldn't worry too much. Once a week, could be a lot worse!

Seems fine, I like a supermarket chilled ricotta and spinach

Better than most takeaway pizza I imagine and if you eat a balanced diet other days it seems fine to me.

I don’t think this is that terrible in the grand scheme of things.
I was raised almost entirely on freezer to oven beige food. Don’t touch it at all now but a frozen pizza once a week isn’t the worst diet I’ve ever heard, don’t worry!

Id eat homemade macaroni cheese ALL the time if I didn't need vegetables haha

I'm not sure you're obsessed with something if you're having it once a week!

Isn't that normal?
I thought most people pretty much ate the same thing on a weekly basis?

I said you were being unreasonable because a cheap pizza once a week is hardly an issue. Why do you think it is?

Sometimes it’s twice 🫢

Even twice isn't terrible.
I probably eat pasta about 3 times a week.
Cheese and pickle sandwiches at least 4 times a week.
Who has told you that pizza is "bad"?

Do you sprinkle it with crack cocaine?

In my mind, oven pizza is bread, cheese, tomato sauce and whatever toppings- so not too dissimilar to a sandwich that someone may have for lunch everyday. Takeaway pizzas are slightly different because of the grease content… you’re fine!

Once a week is fine!! Also not exactly getting you in debt.

What toppings does it have? 😋

Pizzas aren't very filling, does it fill you up.properly?

Pizza is broadly fine as a meal. Chuck some salad/veg on the side to make yourself feel better.

We have pizza almost every Friday. All doing ok so far.

We have oven pizzas every week on Wednesdays. It's a very busy afternoon for us so it's easy to chuck them in the oven! DS has beans on toast as he doesn't like pizza, sometimes I have a chilli con carne ready meal instead (I'm the only one who likes it and I'm not making it for just me!), but DD and DH always have a pizza. We all look forward to it. And we eat on the sofa on Wednesdays too!

I love a really good pizza topped with the finest fresh ingredients and drizzled with EVOO. I also love a cheap as chips plastic wrapped pizza with oven chips and tomato ketchup.

Which one are we talking, OP?

I eat greek salad at least 4 times a week. I absolutely love it.
It’s not unhealthy as such as full of salad veg but it isn’t low fat (lots of feta and good greek olive oil).
I definitely have phases of eating the same food slightly obsessively.

I‘d love to know which one it is!

I absolutely love the frozen Dr Oetker Casa di Mama Speciale (not sure if you can get it in UK). And in the UK I love a fresh mushroom and mascarpone pizza from the supermarket (Tesco?).

Convenience food is fine, as long as it isn’t every day

Better get your will sorted, you'll be dead by Christmas.

I have the aldi deep pan frozen cheese pizza once a week, they’re lovely. I add mushrooms peppers and spinach to make it a bit healthier 😀

Get it down you @Pizzamm

My first instinct was to ask which one so no judgement here. You like it. It’s once a week so why not ?

Have it every day for a week and that's cure you. Or not.
