Cheating when on a diet after reassuring yourself that you will be making up for the lapse by starving, is one of the most common setbacks one faces during the seemingly interminable period of a weight reduction plan. We list below a few of these fantasies that we fondly tend to believe are true.

• To begin at the beginning.... if you are cooking, don't you have the tendency to lick the spoon just to check on the salt, the taste? Or, lick the remaining butter on the knife after spreading it on the bread? Ah! But I'm just perfecting the dish!
• Most of us have the predilection to look longingly at the other person's plate and then tasting a spoonful of the heavily laden stuff. After all, it is not from your plate, so no calories!
• Popping a spoonful of the sinful stuff when no one is looking means.... no calories, of course!
• Sharing a table with someone else? Calories don't count if you eat less than they do.... whatever the dish!
• A salad lunch followed by.... chocolate sundae! Doesn't the salad negate the icecream?
• Running nose? A small brandy is taken only for its medicinal value! And of course a hot chocolate has to be taken at night! What calories? None are added because it is used as a medicine!

• A good idea is to see that everyone around you is fat " makes you feel real thin!
• Movie night? Discount the calories you add with butter popcorn, softies and the like. Aren't they part of the movie entertainment package?
• Eating a cookie after breaking it up into small pieces makes it fat-free.
• Waded through broccoli and spinach as part of your diet? Never mind. Just top it with a pista icecream. It's the same colour so it can't be sinful.
• Go in for frozen foods. Once frozen, the stuff loses its calories. Close your eyes and plunge into that icecream. Won't make a big difference!
• Important event on television? Foods eaten while watching your favourite shows don't really count as calories.
• Don't go by container label claims that show 4 servings. Firmly believe that every container, whatever the size, has but one serving. A bag of chips, a big tub of icecream, a big bottle of coke are all but one serving. Calories? Ah! But I've had just one helping!
