1. I don't have time to make breakfast/lunch/dinner.
(But there's plenty of time to sit on a drive thru line)
2. I don't have time to exercise.
(But somehow I always find at least 30 minutes to surf the net)
3. My metabolism has slowed down.
(Nothing to do with sitting on the couch all evening after dinner snacking and sipping wine)
4. Too expensive to join a gym.
(Plenty of money to go out to lunch and dinner though)
5. I'm not THAT fat.
6. All those clothes made in third-world nations are under-sized.
7. I'm retaining water.
(Couldn't be the Chocolate Eclair)
8. One slice won't hurt.
(When did you EVER stop at one slice of anything?)
9. Too tired to go out.
(Don't want to face the agony of going through the closet trying to find something that fits and looks nice).
10. I got enough exercise running around all day.
(Yeah, behind the steering wheel)
