I can't help it. What are your excuses?
- The calories don't count when it's your birthday.
- The calories don't count when you share it with the dog
- The calories don't count when it's broken (she says reaching into the bottom of the cookie box)
What's your rationale for indulging? Your illogical reasoning?
Calories don't count when no one else is around to witness them.....including the dog or cat or fish......
That's because all the calories fall out. *Quote:

(*Lee-ism)
Of course they fall out. It's all to do with entropy. ;)
Don't forget, of course, that a Diet Coke cancels out whatever calories may have been in whatever you had to eat with it.
The calories don't count when you've riden over 20 miles - glycogen stores must be rebuilt!!!
They also don't count when you are at the movies - something about the screen action seems to absorb them.
Hey - who needs reasoning when it comes to chocolate?Quote:

Namaste,

they don't count when you're eating outside, the calories evaporate.
Nothing counts when I'm in a bad mood.

I don't know why, but that made me laugh harder than I have in days.Quote:

Think this may have something to do with my "overtraining problem"? :rolleyes:
Fortunately I'm not a big fan of chocolate. Now, Lay's ORIGINAL potato chips...WATCH OUT. I cannot purchase them otherwise I eat the whole bag.
tlkiwi: Does caffeine free Diet Coke cancel out more calories than regular Diet Coke?
They don't count:
If they are liquid (wine!) :p
If you're having your period.
If, in the instance of cake, pie, etc., you don't cut a whole piece, you just come back for multiple small bites.
If you don't order dessert, you just eat a bite of someone else's.

Uhm and microwave popcorn. Is there ANYone who does not eat the WHOLE bag? I am currently into the Paul Newman totally unflavored stuff. Just good corn-y flavor.
Mmmmm food....
Back to the original post...
Calories don't count if you eat standing up! Everyone know that. ;)
Actually I have a story...
My sister, who has always had a problem with her weight, was watching me stand at the kitchen counter and snarf down the above mentioned can of Pringles and goodness-knows-what-else, and commented "They always say the way to loose weight is to sit down, fix a decent meal, and slowly enjoy your food...but that must be wrong because you stay slender..."
I just looked at her with amazment. The part she completely missed??? The SIX HOUR bike ride I'd just completed. :D :D :D
They don't count if you're just evening in up! "Oh, look, somebody cut that last piece crooked!"Quote:

Isn't the cocoa bean a vegetable?
lol! my mother used to say the food would go to your big toe if you ate standing up... bigger shoes or bigger pants size, i'll take the bigger shoes!Quote:

Hehe...actually I was born and raised in San Diego :cool:Quote:

This is the best yet! Anything for the benefit of the BIKE!!Quote:

Here's mine. Calories don't count when you're tasting while cooking. Have to get it just right. :cool:
"Need more butter in this ..." ;)

And, chocolate is brown. Mushrooms are brown. Mushrooms are a vegetable with very few calories. Obviously, then, chocolate is a vegetable with very few calories!Quote:

Oh, darn. What's for dinner? Marbleslab or Cold Stone? Ooh, how about pumpkin pie? If the dog gets the crust, the pie is probably negative calories.:o
who needs an excuse? I rationalize everything! Especially when it comes to sushi, indian food, and ice cream........
who needs to rationalize sushi - fish-rice-wasabi its yummy and good for you!Quote:

I'm thinking pie now though. :/
Mel who's waiting for her sister for lunch.
So hungry and stuck at work! Stop, you temptresses!
UGH! but THEY DO COUNT! which is why i'm the only cyclist who has GAINED weight since taking up cycling! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: cuz i need to eat so i don't bonk.... but now i'm getting FAT! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
(tommy's, in n out, pat and oscar breadsticks and coldstone don't count as long as you rode that day... right??????? ya ya ya.... i KNOW! :mad:)
If I see a nice looking brownie wrapped on plastic paper with no serving size or calorie information on the wrapper I asumme it does not have any calories. :p
You are eating fruit pie (apple, cherries, etc.) since you need 5 servings of fruit a day. You can actually have 5 servings of pie.:rolleyes: :cool: ;)
hang on here - this could work....if I put whipped cream on my fruit pies or better yet, eat the fruit pies with ice cream, that should get in yet another one of those food pyramid thingie requirements right??Quote:

Calories don't count on Sundays.
Calories don't count if you freeze the item (like a Snickers bar or M&Ms), freezes the calories right out of 'em.
Or is that sundaes? :rolleyes:
It's both of 'em. ;)
