Eating
During dinner, I take a piece of steak from my friend's plate.
He says," Hey that's mine!"
I reply w, "It's not like I wasn't gonna cut a piece off it anyway."
It's the opposite of
"I was going to cut a piece off it anyway."
But can they mean the same thing?
Thanks for helping!

They aren't opposites. The first contains a double negation. They have the same meaning (though the first expresses more undeserved exasperation).
