I totally understand that. I'm way past my collage days, but anything free is still appreciated. I think if you make an effort to keep your diet balanced you should still be able to accept the freebies when they come. Hey, it's resourceful, right? I can't bare to waste perfectly good food. For instance, the pizza, did you know you can freeze it (when you have kids to feed you learn to make stuff last)? Maybe you could plan to have one piece at a time with salad or veggies, if it fits into your plan that way. Just really make sure your using the free stuff in a way that still works with a healthy lifestyle. Now chocloate and candy, that's a little different. I know you can freeze some of that too, but it's harder to justify with a healthy eating plan. Not a lot of nutrition to that stuff, so maybe you should pass on that. But think about whether stuff is freezable, and if your not sure then try it before you toss it. You might be able to save stuff longer and eat it more slowly, making it last and helping you to stay on plan.
