Magical Tricks

I've come to the conclusion that my body is now involved in some sort of magical trickery against me.

Wait, no - magical trickery for me.

As in, in my favor.

Because yesterday I made and consumed this beaut' right here:

And I did not gain any weight. At all. We're talking no interruption in stabilization, people.

Never in my life have I been able to eat such great foods and not gain weight or the impending guilt that comes in a pretty little package with said great foods. It's got to be magic.

That up there is called Cheese Crust Pizza, and it's my new favorite thing. Not being one for illusion, Cheese Crust Pizza is exactly what it sounds like. It's pizza with crust made of various cheeses (and eggs, but they're just in a supporting role). So again we have no sugar or starch in sight. Just a tasty, yummy, magical dish of wonderfulness.

Now, obviously I did not consume the whole thing and not gain weight... that would be a few major steps backwards physically, mentally, and self control-ly. But I did have two pieces and did become insanely full afterwards. My dumb braincells ridiculed me all night for my full feeling, too. It's tough to retrain your logic to a new style of living when you've settled it in so securely to demeaning you for bad choices.

When things like this come around - good choices that so resemble bad choices they even fool your smartest, most hard working braincells - it's just a battle you have to fight through. Some people will understand this, because you've made some sort of transformation like this before, and some will not. If you are part of the latter group then just let me inform you - telling yourself that you are a different person and making better choices does not always do the trick. It's like retraining trust in yourself. You broke it, now you gotta fix it.

Luckily for me, the fixin's taste so damn good....

On my pizza I put mozzarelli cheese (Yes, I know that it's mozzarella cheese, but my mother - for some reason - always calls mozzarella "mozzarelli" and I'm trying to keep that going because it's funny and sort of Italiano sounding), grilled chicken, and mushrooms. The recipe calls for pizza sauce as well, but eh.

You have been following the saga of Car + Tomatoes while reading this blog, and a connection between us has been established, it's true. But I draw the line at red saucemush. I don't think I'll ever befriend the tomato sauce.

So, like a good little cook, I cooked to my own tastes&preferences and just left the sauce right off of this sucker. I'm selfish like that.

Anyway, this stuff is dang good. I cannot even go into anything else right now. It would be wrong to take attention away from it.

In fact, here's the picture of it again because it deserves to be shown off twice:
