What are some of the weirdest justifications or rules for cheating you have come up with?

Mine:

Cookies don't count if they are broken
The two end crust pieces in a loaf of bread don't count.

    "If I eat all of this ______ tonight, then it won't be here tomorrow and I won't be able to have it...so I better eat it all now" (insert whatever in blank.. cake, cookies, pizza, etc. :)

    That was back when I used to binge though, which I've gotten much better about now.

    THIS also if no one sees me or I eat it fast then it didn't happen

    "it's only a little bit" of everything! :(
    I've been so good.
    I lost 20 lbs already, I know how to get back on track

    that was almost two weeks ago. I still have to get back on track! :(

    If I don't log those calories then it's like I never ate them

    I do the same thing! Also, since I work at a bakery....with a ton of good food....it's so hard to say no when you have good Italian bakers asking you to sample everything!

    I just think, what if you walk outside and get hit by a bus tomorrow? You only life once, indulge. =P
    Then ultimately this ends up backfiring on me because then I have that mindset for the rest of the day >.<

    Everything that comes from a plant is a vegetable, therefore healthy. This includes french fries, chocolate, and carrot cake.

    I have told myself this more than once. I know it's not true and I feel so guilty that I log it then go for a long walk to make up for it.

    Taking the odd handful/mouthful of something doesn't count. Say, if I drink some milk out of the bottle in the fridge (I live alone, so it's not that disgusting), it doesn't count. Same goes if I grab a handful of pretzels from the bag in the cupboard.

    My weird justification is everything in moderation. As long as I track it, I can have it. Its insane, I know.
