Ditto. It's all about what you do AFTER you eat pizza and pie. Do you wake up the next day and eat more? No. You get back on track, so that the next time you want pizza and pie, you'll feel less and less guilty about it. For me, staying on plan 99% of the time is what makes me feel OK when I go off it for special events. I'm going out to dinner with my Dad and siblings next week, on the 1 year anniversary of my Mom's death. . . I'm dreading it, both from the food angle and the emotional whammy angle. I'm going to want to shove food down my gullet like nobody's business, but will work hard not to.
