Must be getting old. Seriously.
As usual, woke up, let the dog out, went to the bathroom, made the coffee, BUT! Today was that little extra that makes life just a little bit better. Pizza.
Last night, Rita and I did some much needed clothes shopping for the dolls. Got a bunch of outfits at some really good prices. The trip was well worth it. While we were at Kmart, I bought two Little Caesar's Pizzas. Cheap pizza at a good price. Oh yeah.
We sat in the parking lot and ate. Not exactly romantic, but it was nice. But all I ate was two pieces! That's it! We're talking two by four inch pieces. And I was full. Hell, that used to be just the warm up to the appetizer before mowing down the whole pizza! I am a big guy with a big appetite.
Lately I have noticed the amount I need to satisfy me has shrunk. But not pizza! Heck no! But, alas, two pieces was all I ate. A couple of hours later I had another piece. One. And not because I was hungry. I just wanted it. I was sorry I ate it.
This morning, I woke up thinking about pizza with my coffee. A favorite of mine. After a couple of bites, it tasted like eating bread, grease, and salt. Ugh.
I fed the rest to the dog. Damn.
I NEVER feed pizza to the dog. Well, maybe a small bite of the crust. But I fed him the whole piece.
He seemed pretty happy about the whole thing.
I am well aware that pizza is probably one of my major diet downfalls. I don't eat it too often. But when I do, I intend to fully enjoy it. Fully. Not feed it to the dog.
So, I guess its time to quit ordering two pizzas. Just one will do. That's a good thing. God knows I don't need it. Maybe He's trying to tell me something.
In retrospect, I have always enjoyed good food. Its the spice of life for me. I guess my definition of good food is maturing, and realizing that a salad may have made that meal more enjoyable.
Just one piece o' da pizza. Not the whole damn thing. Not anymore. David
