"It's okay if I eat it. It's mainly vegetables"
This one can apply to a wide range of healthy foods gone horribly wrong (vegetable tempura, spinach and artichoke dip, and even many salads).

"Even the healthiest foods can be turned into something unhealthy by the way we prepare it," Albers says. "If you are craving pizza, go for the veggie or the whole-wheat version. But be honest with yourself. If pizza is what you love and crave, that is okay. Just eat mindful portions. Recent research indicates that "accepting" rather than pushing away cravings helps to reduce them. It sounds counterintuitive but fighting with yourself leads to poorer decisions."
