I lied on my Weight Watchers list. I put down that I had 3 eggs... but they were Cadbury chocolate eggs.

Caroline Rhea’s joke hinges on the gap between the disciplined self-image implied by a Weight Watchers food log and the reality of craving sweets. By confessing she “lied” and recorded “3 eggs” while meaning Cadbury chocolate eggs, she satirizes the small self-deceptions people use to feel compliant with diet culture. The humor comes from the literal truthiness of the word “eggs” and the childish indulgence of candy, undercutting the moral seriousness often attached to weight loss. The line also plays to Rhea’s comedic persona: self-deprecating, candid, and skeptical of perfectionism, turning guilt into a shared, laughable experience.
