Even Drew Barrymore Isn’t Immune to the Temptations of Pizza While Dieting

Why is it that only when something is deemed off-limits it becomes entirely irresistible? Take pizza, for example. It’s not like we’re counting the days we’ve been deprived of it…but as soon as we say, not today, satan, it becomes forbidden fruit.

At least we’re not the only ones who always want what we can’t have: Drew Barrymore gets it. Chronicling her diet on Instagram, the actress just shared her own Achilles’ heel (and no surprises here, it’s pizza).

While she didn’t give much context for her healthy-eating woes (i.e., if it’s for a role, for health, for vanity…), she captioned her post of an in-case-of-emergency pizza (complete with mini glass-breaking pizza wheel), “This is exactly how I feel on my diet right now!” Same, Drew…and we’re not even dieting. Bless artist Ben Fearnley, the creator of this pièce de résistance.

And Drew’s been getting candid about dieting and weight loss on her Instagram account for some time now. She frequently (and refreshingly) shares workouts and weight-loss goals on her feed.

Now that we think about it, we’d like one of these pizza contraptions installed in our kitchen as soon as possible. You never know when you’re going to need a slice.
