It any of the sweet potatoes weigh more than 200 grams I won't buy it. So some weeks, I don't get them, because none are in the magic gram weight. I also buy loose onions and bell peppers on a similar weight method. Again some weeks, there aren't any in that weight.
I only buy my International Delight coffee creamer in the single serving mini containers like you get at restaurants. That way I know exactly how much creamer is in my coffee every morning.
I have counted the pieces of popcorn I have eaten.
All meat for myself is weighed out of the big package, vacuum sealed with date, weight, and either put in the fridge or freezer.
Packages of cheese are brought home and cut immediately into 1 ounce slices and vacuum sealed and returned to the fridge.
Lunches for the week are done on Sunday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I usually do mixed veggies 300 grams frozen weight to be microwaved. Tuesday and Thursday are Broccoli days and that is 400 grams of frozen weight to be microwaved.
Boxes of Cereal if they are mine, get pre portioned out to 42 gram Ziploc baggies. I'm the only one who will drink 2% milk. So the half gallon gets weighed out into 8 ounce containers and returned to the fridge in their little reusable thermos containers.
When I make biscuits, I weigh the flour out and do not use a measuring cup. Any flour used for kneading that is left gets scraped up and weighed to subtract from the recipe.
I have made hamburgers for a party and weighed each patty, and thrown away what would not divide evenly into the calculated weight of the others.
I can actually nail the number of servings a peanut butter container has in it by the label to perfect accuracy. I weigh it out too.
I actually own 4 food scales, 1 that travels, 1 at the office and 2 in the kitchen. Their batteries are changed the 1st day of every month whether they need it or not. They are also all the same brand and identical. I'm a lab tech and have used the calibrated weights to check their accuracy, they are in acceptable range. I do this often.
Shall I continue. I have developed a lot of quirks over my 900+ logging days here.
I love the attention to detail. Ever think of running a B&B with weekend classes on calorie counting?

I haven't tried any vegan ice cream. I'm scared to. Portion control and self will with food isn't a strong point. I do NOT need to start thinking about yummy ice cream. But I LOVE the name of those bars. So cute! I see that Talenti ice cream you guys used to talk about everywhere now.
Ahh, gotcha! I'm bad with portion control..so I get it!
I've never tried Talenti either.
I literally have no food in my house. Because it doesn't last. You would think at 48 I would be able to control it, but nope. If I know it's there it must be eaten.
I'm the same when I have tempting stuff in the house. I can only keep my regular foods here. No special treats allowed unless I plan for them to be eaten that very same day.
I would be really bad if I always ate out at restaurants though. That's when I treat myself. If someone else is going to cook me a meal, it's going to be delicious and lots of calories!
Same!!2 -

I'm trying to hold it together at work without going postal on anyone.
I hear ya! I got no sleep, my morning workout was grindy as all heck. I just want to sleep!
Me 3. And I have to take a friend out to dinner tonight as a payback for her helping me when I was hut when I fell off my horse. And all I want to do is go home and hibernate.
Ugh that's even worse! My plan is to go home, shovel my driveway then pass out. I don't like people today it's fine haha
It was ok. I deliberately picked a restaurant that would go quick then went home to bed.

Holy crap! I wonder if we can reach 2000 before the end of the year?!
A better question is, can we make it to 2017 in time for the end of the year?!
Guys, we aren't anywhere near this. Post more, STAT!

We might not even make 2000, which was the first number, right?

Okay, Susie. I am on terminal hold so I will try to push the page count up for you. I really want to go to lunch instead of being on hold. I need to walk. I am sick of this chair!1

@Susieq_1994 - Are you still out there? Checking up on you. I don't want that hypothyroidism chick to run you off. You were absolutely correct with your advice.

...Because who wants the real answer when you can blame all your problems on a medical issue. Bah humbug!0 -
Im battling a drinking problem (I really enjoy beer and wine) and am trying to wean off safely. With the holidays coming up, it's gonna suck *kitten*.3

As for holiday related confessions.....I have been making lots of toffee and pretzel turtle candy (pretzel, Rolo, pecan) and I cannot keep myself out of them. I may have to make more of the turtles tonight! The sugar is the main reason I have jumped 11 pounds since October...

Be cautious. Alcohol DT's are very dangerous, even deadly. Not sure that is your situation, but be careful!0 -

Hugs to you- alcoholism and drinking issues are very difficult to cope with for so many people (I grew up in a home with an alcoholic). You are doing such a brave and wonderful thing 0 -

It definitely went south fast! I got fed up and went to get some stepping, after a good waste of thirty minutes. Ugh.
LOL at the meme though!0 -
