Because I’ve kept to my diet so well today that this can’t possibly make me put on any weight.
-
Because I haven’t kept to my diet at all today so I might just as well eat this.
-
Because I’m far too miserable at the moment to worry about a little thing like being overweight.
-
Because I’m far too happy at the moment to care about being overweight.
-
Because it would be much better to start slimming properly on Monday.
-
Because Monday morning is so ghastly I must eat to take my mind off it.
-
Because my husband says he prefers plump women.
-
Because my husband never notices what I look like anyway.

Because this cold weather means you need more calories just to keep warm.

Because I walked instead of going by bus and used up lots of calories.

Because I need something to calm my nerves after that awful bus ride.

Because I got up late and missed breakfast so I can eat more now.
-
Because I got up early so I’ll be really weak and tired if I don’t eat now.

-
Because after I’ve slaved for hours in the kitchen I must at least taste it to see if its all right.
