It's called cognitive dissonance, when a person holds two conflicting ideas or beliefs. It's stressful to acknowledge the conflict and change beliefs and behaviours, so people instead do mental gymnastics to justify holding both.

Mental gymnastics = very painful for anyone but participating in the sport

Cognitive dissonance is actually the state of holding conflicting feelings, beliefs, and actions, and it's supposed to be stressful. Changing beliefs or actions relieves stress.
