    So many of these ring true for me.

    "I've eaten one oreo, I may as well eat them all, since I'm going to eventually anyway"

    After having one bad day, "Well, there goes that diet. I'll start again next week." Like diets can only begin on Mondays.

    The biggest one that I was telling myself though, was that the food was making me happy. That I wanted to eat a plate of cheese fries more than I wanted to be healthy. That sure, cleaning up my diet and exercising might add years to my life, but what miserable years those would be without Krispy Kreme. And I had no interest in moderate indulgence, I only got joy from eating until I made myself sick. I can't imagine now ever believing that deep fried lard made me happy. Not to sound cheesy, but I make myself happy. And I still enjoy a doughnut now and then, but it's not the source of all joy in my life.

    I definitely do the "I already screwed up my diet today, so I'll just eat whatever I want to get it out of my system and start again tomorrow". Well, a few days later my husband would want Chinese food, and there'd I'd go again!

    Friday night he wanted Chinese, and I picked it up for him, and went across the street and got Subway for myself! When there's will there's a way! :)

    As long as my boobs are bigger than my stomach I'm ok (Reality check.....your boobs are huge so that's a sucky indicator)

    So this.
    I've gone down two band sizes and my boobs are still huge, so I know full well my stomach can go down much more :P

    it doesn't matter if I lose the weight I still won't be pretty....

    and

    if I can find someone who loves me for my weight, THEN I can lose it and that person will be meant for me...

    no....no...that person is just a different kind of predator...

    I'm guilty of all of these! I think one of my worst is:

    "Those skinny girls are just unhealthy. They must starve themselves, or do nothing but work out".

    "I'm just not meant to be skinny/pretty" um....what? First, You are beautiful. Second, you an be skinny and healthy, just get off your butt and do it!

    "It's just one cupcake. I worked out today, it's fine!" (Yes, it is just ONE cupcake...but you decided against the 'healthier' version so....no)

    "I'll start tomorrow" (yeah, you are queen of procrastination, shut up and start now!)

    As a trainer for lots of years, I used to tell myself the BS that a lot of the Fitness Industry still follows today:

    Eat multiple meals to keep metabolism burning
    Eat breakfast to "jumpstart" your metabolism

    I'm one of those troublemakers that believes, "all science is bunk." Those two lines seem to be working well for me.

    What works well for you is because of preference and not because metabolism is raised or kept burning due to eating that way. If science were bunk, we wouldn't have medical cures nor any understanding of actual weight gain/loss. Thanks for playing.

    I have to eat what I am given/what I take, even if I am full, wasting food is worse than eating too much.

    I need extra food/calorie-dense food to fuel my brain when working hard academically and under stress.

    "It's a drink, not food so the calories don't count."
    "It's easier to find somebody who likes me for me and not my body while I'm fat."
    "I eat less and exercise more than my 80lb sister (true) so my metabolism must just be broken."


    I need to invent a time machine to go back in time and slap my former self in the face.

    Not exactly about weight loss, but:
    I'm having a bad day, I deserve some crisps.
    I'm having a good day, I deserve some crisps.
    I'm bored, I'll go buy some crisps.

    If I eat a large pizza with a side late at night (usually after three meals at like 12am) and wake up late it will cancel out. I clearly thought I do workouts in my sleep :P! x
