    You don't go out with the guys for beer because you did not go to the gym today and you don't have any extra calories.

    ... 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?

    ugh heck yeah! I count them out and get pissed if my kids or partner wants one....lol especially if I already logged them

    When you watch someone scarfing down a bunch of nasty food (One occasion in particular comes to mind, two quarter pounders, fries, tea, and a side of ranch) and it literally makes you want to gag thinking of all the grease and salt. YUCK!

    When you drive past McDonalds and can smell the salt on the French fries.

    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.

    Yep, that is what clued me in that I was serious too.

    You put all your money on your savings account and leave all your cash at home, so you can't buy any cr*p while out.

    Your boyfriend eats so delicious looking but very bad food right in front of you and you don't give a crap.

    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!



    Seriously I FEEL SOOO STINGY !! Haha

    I did this to my boss when he took one of my almonds after I had already counted them out.

    when you don't need a scale to measure the food and still you can define size of it and how many calories the thing you're about to eat has :bigsmile:

    When you go to an all you can eat buffet, and end up only eating the salads :)

    Hopefully will work again this weekend - as we are visiting another buffet restaurant with some friends...

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

    This !!

    You go over your daily calorie intake and know exactly how many minutes of cardio you MUST do to redeem yourself:laugh:

    You stop drinking a large double double (to all my Canadien brothers and Sisters out there...) because it puts your sugar through the roof for the day...

    That could possibly be the hardest thing! We drink tea though and I bring home a tea everyday for my boyfriend so sometimes I have to get a small or xsmall.

    A coworker offers you a slice of meat lover's pizza and instead of tearing into the slice like the Tazmanian Devil, you just grab their slice and take one tiny bite out of the crust. True willpower. :glasses:

    when you don't share your meals anymore because you spent minutes planning your meals and choosing exactly how much you're going to have of each item so... someone else grabbing stuff from your plate really bugs you, as it means you have to re-calculate your calories. you can always choose not to, but it still bugs you because you feel someone else's cravings are ruining your hard planning work.

    yeah, i've become quite protective about my food lately. It's just the food on my plate though. This lunch hubby decided he wanted to the spinach quiche i baked last night. Why did he have to try it from the portions on MY plate?! there was enough on the tray for a whole family for god's sake! and the oven was still warm for him to heat up a small slice but no... he decided he wanted MINE!

    I didn't want to sound more nutty that I usually do so I decided to be a good girl and share my portions but i even felt offended by the request lol

    You won't even taste the foods in the grocery store that are being prepared to give you a sample bite, because you don't know how many calories is in one bite.

    You work in fast food and not only do you ignore the desire to eat the crappiness...over time you just don't want it anymore!

    You stay in the dressing room posing for about 30 in new clothes that you couldn't wear before.

    You stop referring to it as a "Diet" and start referring to it as a lifestyle change :)
