Today, I read that food cravings are only supposed to last a couple of minutes. I have been craving and dreaming about pizza for a month straight, and the urge is only getting stronger. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it’s the third month of my diet. Every dream I’ve had since I started has been entirely about junk food. Every. Single. One. FML
Today, I had a dream in which I was eating vast quantities of pizza, cookies, and pastries. I became so anxious about all the calories that I woke up. Even in my dreams I'm self conscious about my diet. FML
Today, I've had the exact same dream every night for a month. I'm sick of it. FML
Today, and since I decided to cut back on unhealthy foods, my last five dreams were literally just slideshows of junk food. FML
Today, thanks to pregnancy hormones, I had the most vivid dream of eating a caramel apple mousse cake with vanilla bean ice cream. Unfortunately, yesterday, also thanks to pregnancy hormones, I was diagnosed with diabetes. My dreams are taunting me. FML
Today, I suddenly became really hungry at 11pm. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but I have no snacks and everything is closed. Also, being hungry exacerbates my insomnia. Words cannot describe how miserable I am right now. FML
Today, I realized that my diet has gone completely bust. If I try to limit the amount of food that I eat, my stomach is growling and keeping me up at night, when my sugar isn't crashing and turning me into a food vacuum cleaner eating everything in sight. I'm not starving myself, I'm trying to control my portions. FML
Today, I discovered that my family routinely waits until after my bedtime to order a pepperoni pizza, my favorite food. If that wasn't bad enough, I'm 17 and still have a strictly enforced bedtime. FML
Today, I was so hungry that my mouth started watering during a dog food commercial. FML
Today, I had pizza for lunch, a cheesy burrito and cheese rice for dinner, topped off with a big bowl of ice cream. Three hours later, I puked it all up. I guess you never outgrow lactose intolerance. FML

Why don't you give in to your craving? As long as you don't eat it too often, it can be part of a healthy lifestyle. By denying yourself everything, it'll be hard not to let yourself go eventually. Get one slice and don't gobble down a whole pizza, just enjoy every bite you take.

I mean unless your appetite is out of control or something I would just have a slice in moderation or make a healthy homemade vegan version.

Food cravings can also be a sign that you're lacking certain vitamins/nutrients.

"An imbalance of hormones, such as leptin and serotonin, can also cause food cravings." To combat food cravings, drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, consume enough lean protein, chew gum, avoid hunger, and control your food portions (mine are always TOO big :-( Good luck, OP! :-)

I sympathize with this. If I'm ever consciously trying to eat healthier, pizza is top of the list of the most unrelenting food cravings, and it doesn't go away until I give in. Yes it's okay to have a slice or two now and again as part of a healthy diet, but I'm one of those that can't stop at a slice or two....it's just a tease and amps the cravings up higher. For myself, instead of trying to deny myself the foods I love, I try my best to fill up on fruits and veggies before I dig in to the main course. At least then I'm slightly more balanced.
