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

Nice one!

28. This is one of the most entertaining MFP Forum threads ever!

csofled

These are all great! I can identify with all of them, I even have my husband addicted to MFP and not because HE uses it. Every evening before getting his snack he ask ME if I have any calories left to join him!

27(?) When you decide to make your sandwich open-faced so you can save the calories in that second piece of bread for a treat.

26. When you get excited when your macro's pie chart is spot on and looks pretty! (I suck at getting them spot on

)

27. I finally have an "in my face" reality check to why I have been obese for so long and makes changing my eating/moving habits so much easier!

25. When you hit the forums in the morning, you first check out any new threads that have already gone over 2 or 3 pages, because that's where the good stuff is.

24. When dream that you are weighing yourself and your scale is giving all kinds of crazy numbers, and YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WEIGH..and you wake up in a state of distress...and you almost get out of bed to go weigh yourself in the middle of the night...

(This happened to me last night. I'm actually sick right now with some kind of infection and am a bit feverish so I'm sure that's what prompted the crazy dream...I've never had a nightmare involving my scale before, lol)

39. When your kids roll their eyes when you mention the words weight, calories, scale, macro, heavy lifting etc.

Happens to me daily. I sometimes just say stuff like that to send them over the edge.

Adding to #24. I dreamed that I was on the scale and the trainer was standing behind me telling me I will get to goal unless I do 8 hours of stair treadmill every day.

23. When you get angry a good thread just gets going 10 minutes before you have to leave.

22. You are (secretly) ecstatic when at a friends house for a meal, who doesn't know you are watching your calories, tells you you are having a 400 calorie dinner of something like salmon, cous cous and veg, that you can easily count as the packaging is in sight on the worktop... :-)

61. You begin to see the possibilities in *everything*! As in: "You know, I could actually work that in to my eating plan for the day...".

35). When you read threads where someone says there's no way "x-food" fits in people's macros. And you go ahead and add it to your diary to prove to yourself that, yes, you could make it fit and have that if you wanted.

Yes yes.

You keep reading a thread called "You know you're addicted" and you keep saying, "Yup. Done that. Been there." and thinking are they spying on me or what?

Now, what was I doing? Oh yeah the pear I'm about to eat.

#21 you have a diet scale at home, at work and in your car.

30. When you become intensely annoyed when people miss use the words 'lose' and 'loose' solely because it's mentioned so often by other mfp users, and it never used to overly bother you before...

I used this as a grammar lesson in place of the word of the day for toastmasters. Major pet peeve!

Deipneus

#20 When you spot a good picture or animated gif elsewhere, you save it for later so you can use it on an MFP message board.

hollyrayburn

#whatever. When you've told someone what MFP is, how to weigh, log etc, and then you peek at her plate from the cafeteria, and want to say "THIS is why you haven't lost weight!"
