There's an ice cream shop next door to your gym. Plus it was hot out.

You thought you ordered a small.

You forgot your overnight oats at home and work ordered doughnuts.

Work sucked especially hard today, so you drowned your sorrows in frosting.

You found out your boyfriend cheated on you . . . with your best friend.

You already ate a crappy breakfast so you might as well keep going.

It would have been morally wrong to turn down the amazing trifecta of birthdays, cupcakes, and chocolate.

The jelly beans were calling your name.

You quit smoking and needed to put something in your mouth. Fries seemed like the best option.

There was actually no reason at all.
