When we say "used to", we mean that [ ] did something [ ], but then stopped doing it. For example, "I [ ] eat plenty of pizza before I [ ]. Now I am on a diet". In this case, we always put [ ] after "to".

But when we say "be/get used to", we must use an [ ] or a noun. For example, "I'm used to [ ] plenty of pizza". Eating lots of pizza is the current [ ].

Or we can say, "I'm [ ] to eating a lot of pizza". It means that the person is starting to eat a lot of pizza, he or she is getting a [ ] habit.
