I want to try that but I can't imagine one wrap to be as filling as a store bought pizza

Probably not, but it would be much healthier.

That all depends upon the contents of the Graze box. Not everything they put them is healthy!

Some of the graze boxes are just a sugar hit, I used to subscribe to graze and then stopped when I had a look at the contents.

Been there, done that, it didnt work

Then have them once or twice a week. You dont need them any more than that.

You might be full with one or two wraps and if you made them wholemeal it would be much healthier than a shop bought pizza. There is nothing wrong with having the odd treat, but you can do a lot with home made pizza, even if the home made pizza isnt from scratch but on a wholemeal wrap base.

Its not just about the calories, it has to be about the quality of the food you are eating as well.

I'll be honest, most of the time I do not know if I am hungry or just want to eat. I don't know how to tell the difference. I can not eat anything until 2/3 pm at which point I'm practically shaking and passing out. I go from ok to this almost instantly.

Sometimes I don't recognise when I'm full and carry on until suddenly I feel sick.

Years of irregular eating habits and eating the wrong foods have messed up any sense of hunger and fullness. It's a difficult cycle to get out of.

I bet. When you are constantly feeding yourself on a drip drip drip basis and feel hunger you think, hang on, this is a bit odd. Ive been there.

But dare I say it, life is better, much better when every waking thought isnt about food. It is tough, I appreciate that.

I am going to have a go at home made pizza (if I can find a good recipe for caper sauce that doesn't involve wine, meat stock or lemon) but I will use a shop bought base

Life's too short to spend it being fat & insecure about your body.
