Rationalizing with myself... do you do this?

Yeah I find I do more and more of this now because I guess that I CAN eat pretty much everything and not hurt myself. As in I don't get foamies, I don't get pain, etc. I don't push quantities but indeed I have had bites and licks and tastes of stuff that is not on plan. I still would like to lose 20 lbs but I am feeling great where I am too. I rationalize the BLTs (bites, licks and tastes) by saying that its only this once or its just a bit or whatever...I can go back to weight loss mode tomorrow..and I have been exercising and am not gaining so everything is good! Welllllllll.....indeed Brandilynn's phrase fits nicely. 

My ability to "rationalize" with myself got me where I am today.  See, I wasn't very effective on the rational part.  One bite, for me, is a lie.  If I really wanted just one bite would mean I'd be willing to take two, three, four, etc.  I guess the way I deal with it is that I'm focused on my old ways of thinking and try like heck to keep it in check.  I call myself out (inside my head, of course).  Sounds like you are aware of it as well.  Some days are harder than others.  I look forward to the good days!
