He will eat a healthy salad instead. The pizza will remind James of his goal to only eat healthy food, which will diminish the effects of the temptation to eat pizza.

Explanation:

Guilty pleasures activities include short-term payoff which is positive for a person but encompasses long-term negative side effects and consequences.

The guilty pleasure is defined as something, for example, a television program, a film, or any music, that one enjoys in spite of understanding that it is not normally held in high regard, or is seen as weird or unusual.
