you know you're taking your diet seriously when...
... you count out exactly 45 little chocolate chips to still maintain your goal.
I ate my dinner and I had a little under 200 calories below my goal that I could still eat. I decided to treat myself to some chocolate chips. I laughed when I acknowledged just how ridiculous this might come across to someone else. What is something you found yourself doing in order to accomplish your goal?

Your kids didn't finish all their ice cream and instead of eating the remnants, you scrounge up the willpower to toss it out.0

Don't trust the measuring cup and weigh out a portion of trail mix with your food scale instead.0

Your coworkers comment on how you're on a health kick and how they never really see you eat junk food anymore.0

You resist seconds even when your family is shoving them in your face0

Package up cookies as soon as they are cool to be given away so that I don't snack on them (I develop and test recipes, always baking around!)0

When you weigh out your 7 grams of croutons on a scale. Which, BTW, is a ridiculously small amount of croutons!0

You literally body block your kids from taking a piece of something you've already counted or measured out. I know sharing is caring and all of that schlockeroo, but *kitten* gets serious when it comes to food!0

You do not break the diet in your job's parties.0

You begin having a reoccurring dream of all the food in your house coming into your room in the middle of the night and attacking you in proper Revolutionary War-era formation with tiny food-sized weapons

I knew I was serious about it this time because I didn't tell anyone I was doing it. I just joined a gym and started going. I usually would make a big presentation of it and wouldn't follow through. This time I just did it. No fanfare.0

Not Canadian, but I love my timmy ho's! We have it in buffalo, ny I used to get an iced coffee with 1 cream 2 splenda like 5x a week lol. Now I aim for only one on Saturday morning. Try making it at home but it's just not the same. I don't think I'm using enough crack

On Friday, which is traditionally my blow out evening, I weighed out a single portion from a giant bag of pretzel m&m's. My hubby nearly crapped himself he was so proud
I also took a big tub of peanuts to work and made a label of what a portion would be so that I wasn't tempted to go crazy. I quote "1 portion = An awkward Eva handful"0 -
My SO complains that I don't want to eat pizza anymore0

You finish making your peanut butter and jelly sandwich (peanut butter and jelly, perfectly measured, of course) and then you go to lick your spoon, but then you think "wait, I don't think I measured the peanut butter and jelly stuck to this spoon," and then you toss the spoon in the sink.0
