Mood plays an integral role in food choices.. You are super happy, you celebrate with unhealthy greasy food and similarly if you sad upset or low on mood, you will sulk and be depressed with again the most unhealthiest food..
I am no exception and I have had worst days... Fried food for celebrations and pizza, icecreams, chocolates and cakes for sad and low days... Food for comfort!!... But since I have started the detox program I have consciously started making better choices and 9/10 times I am successful (which is such an amazing success rate) but that one time too I have tried to make the most of the available options or what would comfort me without really taking me on a guilt trip...
Today was one of those days... Have been really sick the past 3 days,, haven't been able to eat, drink or swallow anything much I would say.. The fever, chills, sweat and cough episodes have been gruesome... Other than water and mangoes I haven't been able to really try anything... So after having an episode of self pity I decided I would have some Pizza to cheer myself (a vegan pizza obviously)
First thought of the regular pizza chains, but then for a fact I know it would not be 100% vegan and definitely not hygienic to have it in this condition... So we have this small pizzeria very close to our house called and the last time I had been there I had the most amazing whole wheat thin crust vegan veggie exzotic pizza...So I ordered the same and to make myself feel better I even got extra veggies put on top... What was most striking of this pizza is its zero nuts.. They used shredded cabbage which resembles cheese with a lot veggies and herbs... Super yummmm....
I actually could keep it down as well as not feel a bit guilty... Keep a few of these options handy.. You never know what may be the need of the hour.. Food for Happiness or Food for Bad Mood!!
I also want to specially mention this they don't use those plastic things like a small stool kind of thing right in the middle of the pizza to hold the slices together and from the lid to touch the pizza... The box is 100% cardboard and I told them not to send the herbs and chili flakes to avoid trash generation and that does have plastic... So in all it was definitely a very good choice and ended as a very good day!!!
