I Eat Pizza Every Day For Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

hi friends my name is Casey I'm 17 years old most people like pizza I'm one of them but unfortunately my relationship with pizza is more of an obsession Pizza is the only thing I eat for breakfast lunch and dinner you might think that I eat different kinds of pizza every time but that's not the case every day I can only eat like this cheese pizza in the morning mushroom pizza for lunch and cheese pizza again for dinner it's not possible for me to eat mushroom pizza for breakfast or cheese pizza for lunch the issue is that I'm extremely picky when it comes to food I've been picky with food since I was a little kid and when I say picky with food don't think of your average picky eater for example some people don't like tomatoes some never eat eggs some feel nauseous at the sight of meat it wasn't like that with me the list of things I wouldn't eat was longer than the list of things I ate for example for four or five months I'd only eat carrots then one day I would suddenly quit and start eating only bread with Jam I wouldn't eat anything else when going through these phases I preferred to eat only what I liked and I kept eating only that thing until I got bored my mom says I got this trait for my grandfather I never met him since he died before I was born my mom and I fight a lot about food it was during one of our fights that she told me in tears about her father my grandfather your grandfather was just like you he even hid this habit of his so he wouldn't set a bad example for us I don't remember him eating together with us ever even if he sat with us he wouldn't eat anything I'm full you enjoy your food he used to say we found out later that he was able to eat very few things according to your grandmother he could only eat boiled chicken and steamed vegetables he said that he wasn't able to eat anything else because he couldn't stand the smell of other foods I was really sad for him when I found out about this how do you only eat chicken and vegetables your whole life but your grandpa did this is why it makes me so sad to see you were going through the same thing but at the same time I know you can't help it my mom was right to be upset but just like she said I couldn't help it and my obsession with pizza hadn't even started when we had this conversation even if I was going through these phases I was at least eating different things unfortunately my condition got a lot worse for the past six years I have survived on pizza and pizza only I remember exactly how my pizza obsession came about it was a Saturday my parents both work in pharmaceuticals they were going to a conference together just as they were leaving my dad collapsed onto the floor he was holding his chest we called an ambulance right away my mom went to the hospital with my dad everything happened in a flash I regretted not having gone to the hospital with them I was walking around the house worried sick a few hours later my mom called as we suspected my dad had had a heart attack thankfully he survived because they were able to treat him on time he was doing really well he had some tests done my mom said they've come back after they got the results I even talked to my dad for a second I was relieved by the good news it was almost noon I realized I still had an eaten breakfast because I was in a good mood I thought I'll eat something different I'll tell my mom about it when she comes back she'll like that as I was looking through the fridge I saw three frozen pizzas I randomly picked one of them it was the cheese pizza I heated it in the oven and ate it for breakfast I was someone who rarely ate pizza I said to myself I've forgotten what it tastes like it's pretty good doctors wanted to keep my dad at the hospital overnight they had to run some more tests I said to my mom don't worry about me I'll look after myself but she didn't listen to me and told me aunt joy would come and stay with me that night I was so happy that I would be seeing my favorite Anne I decided to eat pizza for lunch again I took out one of the two remaining pizzas without looking and as you might guess it was the mushroom one my aunt called and said something had come up she would be coming later and so I ate the last pizza for dinner it was a cheese pizza so that's how I had my menu for the next six years all set cheese pizza for breakfast mushroom pizza for lunch and cheese pizza again for dinner the next morning I woke up craving a cheese pizza I told my aunt that I wanted to have pizza for breakfast even though she was surprised she wouldn't say no because she knew how particular I was about food she also let me have mushroom pizza for lunch that's how my love affair with pizza started and unfortunately it took over my life in the following days and years even though my mom was very upset she had to let me eat pizza because I refused to eat anything else since she knew it was an issue that required treatment she tried to get me treated a few times but nothing worked among these attempts the weirdest one was something one psychiatrist tried first we had a regular therapy session he asked me various questions trying to understand why I only ate pizza I answered them all truthfully in the next session he suggested I eat something other than pizza when that didn't work he tried to scare me with things like you won't grow any taller if you stick to a one food diet if you only eat pizza you'll gain weight and no one will like you you will never have a boyfriend when that didn't work either in the following session he started yelling at me and even threatening me you are a spoiled little girl you're doing this for attention if you keep eating pizza I'll write a report and they will put you in a mental institution he said naturally that was my final session with him when I told my mom about what he told me during that session she didn't take me back there that man was even weirder than me I was scared that he would turn his failure into an obsession and keep harassing me over the phone apart from that my mom made another outlandish attempt for a cure it was creative and interesting but sadly it didn't work my mom had seen a show on TV about people who had food obsessions like mine in the episode there was a guy who had only eaten hamburgers since the age of five the producers of the show prepared a little spectacle to overwhelm him this guy ate four hamburgers every day that's 28 hamburgers per week 1456 hamburgers per year they loaded a truck with 1456 hamburgers and drove it to the guys home they called him outside and um all the 1456 burgers in front of him they said this is exactly how many burgers you're consuming in a year he was shocked and sad and he even cried in the end he decided to get treatment my poor mother wanted to create the same spectacle to put some sense into her daughter she somehow found the phone number of the TV show and called them they weren't interested since they had already featured a pizza addict in another episode so my mom wanted to do it on her own but she knew that she couldn't spend so much money all at once still she didn't give up she called a major news channel and told them about me it's going to be quite a sight my daughter doesn't know about this either we'll see her reaction together this would be a compelling piece of news for you they said they were interested in shooting the story after that my mom reached out to a major pizza brand when the company officials found out that my mom's performance was going to be in the news they agreed to sponsor her one Sunday morning I got up as usual mom was in the kitchen when she saw me she said I have a special Sunday surprise for you I ordered pizza for you from a wonderful place it should be here any moment half an hour later the doorbell rang mom held me by the hand she took me outside as I was staring at her there was a small pizza truck in front of the house packed with pizza boxes I figured my mom was up to something when I saw a reporter and a cameraman on the street she asked me Casey how many pizzas do you think there are in this truck I told her I had no idea since you eat three pizzas per day what is three times 365 yes these are the thousand and ninety five pizzas that you eat in a year how can you eat this much pizza sweetie please give this up and do it in front of the cameras so everyone would know about your decision I looked at the pizza boxes I said mommy if we collected all your makeup materials or all the popcorn dad eats while watching football throughout the year we'd also get a huge pile like this I'm sorry but I don't know why you did this my mom was incredibly upset and she was right she worked hard to do this and her intentions were good I could have hugged her or said something nice nope I turned around and went back home now when I think about it I can see that I acted just like a teenager unfortunately there is no happy ending to this story I'm 17 years old for the past six years I've been eating three pizzas per day I don't know for how long I'm going to keep eating like this I know that what I'm doing is wrong and I certainly don't recommend it to anyone but this is my truth I need to tell it and you can draw your own conclusions thank you for listening if you like stories based on true
