Pizza is great. So is ice cream. Tacos are pretty good too. Are these foods we should eat all day every day? Probably not. But are they OK to indulge in every once in a while? Most definitely.

Oftentimes, I find people counting calories, saying no to pizza, and then complaining about not being able to eat the pizza. I'm here to say this: eat the freakin' pizza. Life is too short to deny yourself the wonder that is pizza.

I'm not saying, though, that your diet should consist of pizza and only pizza. It's all about balance. If you're eating your fair amount of fruits and veggies and leading a somewhat healthy lifestyle, then eating the pizza isn't going to kill you. In fact, you're going to make yourself even more miserable by ordering a salad when everyone else is ordering pizza. We deserve to treat ourselves every once in a while without feeling guilty.

I'd rather eat the pizza and carry a little extra healthy weight than eat only lettuce and have abs.

Life is short. Eat the pizza.
