100. Even when picking up a sandiwch or meal for a friend in the supermarket you check the calories.

99. When handed a piece of food, you automatically look for a barcode to scan.

    97. Before you've left the gym, you spend an extra few minutes slowly pedaling on the bike to log the calories burned during that session- even if it does give up a few less minutes to get showered and changed.

    96. You sign in to log the banana you just ate and end up reading the Forums for 1/2 an hour before you realize that you forgot to log the banana.

    95. You've got easy access to it on your phone, your iPad and your puter.

    94. You read, "Dalmatian mode" (I can't even bring myself to use the s-word) and want to run screaming from the computer.

    93. You look at the protein grams vs calories to see if it's a "good source" 10:1 ratio

    92. You ask the waitress how many ounces of grilled chicken is on the salad. And when your companions make fun off you for it, you make sure to ask for the measurement of the dressing on the side just to be a smart@$$.

    Hahaha!

    91- you check mfp just to see if an OP returned to a "dumb question" post, even though you know you should be sleeping (and that they aren't coming back).

    88. You have a word document saved with your standard responses to threads like 'Military diet' so you don't have to re-type, just copy and paste.

    Haha at all the responses!

    86. Rather than do housework, you spend 10 minutes manipulating a serving size to get it exact to the calories consumed (never 1 over, never 1 under!)

    85. You spend ages in the supermarket comparing the calories on similar products... 2 less calories per slice of bread makes you happier than a lie-in!

    Maybe quicker, but using computer saves on the electric bil :).

    81. That you deeply respect MFP for showing you that all foods are permitted, just not in all quantities.

    80. Being too excited about making your own post that you fail to notice important details in previous comments that could effect your response (the numbering) lol... my bad.

    79. When you know there that is that one place where you can feed into your obsessive compulsive behavior.

    80. (or whatever number we're up to) You have used the term "special snowflake" in general conversation in real life.

    79. You can't resist completing your day's diary just to see what MFP thinks you'd weigh in 5 weeks' time if every day were like this, even though you know it's not an accurate prediction. The days you blow your calorie budget are especially entertaining for this :smile:

    You park as far away from the store entrance as possible and meander around the store so you can get more "steps" logged while shopping.

    78. 78. When you know you are going to log your food for the day, and can’t help look for the “sugar thread, detox/cleanse thread, addiction of soda thread, or meal replacement thread that makes you "giggity”.

    btw...100 is not going to be long enough... :)
