    Talking The calories don't count when . . . . .

    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. *

    Talking

    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.

    This one is one of my favs:

    The calories don't count in doughnut holes coz they are Holes, so eat all you want!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

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

    I have this illogical/irrrational threshold of 2500. If I've burned 2500 calories, then they don't count. But if I haven't, I ingest the "empty" or perhaps "unnecessary" calories anyway and beat myself up about it...for a little while then I move on (I blame it all on Catholic School).

    Think this may have something to do with my "overtraining problem"?

    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?

    oh, i like this thread

    They don't count:

    If they are liquid (wine!)
    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.

    Oh yeah I love those "single serving" packages.

    My personal "single servings" are Girl Scout thin mint cookies, frozen, (actually *two servings*) and Pringles Reduced Fat Original Flavor. Yep I eat the whole can. I like the "reduced " (yeah right!) because they are less greasy/more crispy.

    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.
