    When I go pick up food for the office and don't order anything for myself, because I already carefully prepared/weighed my lunch the night before. Then I live vicariously through them while they eat their McAlister's.

    I'm jealous. My husband would never weigh my stuff, so now I don't even ask him to get me anything anymore (except coffee, as I drink it black anyway).

    When you have a notebook next to your digital scale with all kinds of mathematical equations written on it.

    Hee! I just put a pretty notebook and pen next to my scale so I don't have to remember everything...

    That strange look you get when you place your palm over your chicken breast on your plate to make sure it totally IS the size of a deck of cards, and explaining your not actually trying to bless your chicken or do some weird mind meld thing. Lol

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I used to use the notepads from hotels and I finally caved and bought a little 3x5 wire bound notebook

    I was doing that until my husband complained about the notes. Now I have a small whiteboard with magnets attached to it so it's always on the fridge. It means I can also write passive-aggressive notes to him when he eats my yoghurt.

    Yep. Anxiety messes with my stomach so on days I have to do scary things I often find myself wondering if maybe I should only log half of that bowl of yoghurt because it only lasted 10 minutes.

    And that dodgy protein bar? I definitely only absorbed 0.4 of a serving's calories.

    I did the same thing - I bought these: amazon.com/Quartet-ReWritables-Dry-Erase-Magnets-Marker/dp/B00X6IWMJU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1439300121&sr=8-2&keywords=quartet+rewritables

    I have one magnet attached to the range hood over my stove and use it all the time now. It saves paper and is very convenient.

    This is too funny, I can relate to so many of these!
    And when you automatically count up the amount of calories in the food items that your family or friends are eating. Or worse, you're out at a restaurant and start assessing the calories of the strangers at the table sitting next to you!

    Regarding Fitbit, the charging part and getting upset when I forgot to wear it is one of the reasons I stopped using it. That, and in Summer when you're only wearing dresses, it's tough to find a place to clip it on.
    I just clip it on to my underwear. :wink:

    Dang...it just occurred to me that if I wear a dress without a bra, finding a place to clip my Zip is going to be very difficult. I can't just forfeit all of the steps I would earn from a night of dancing!

    Oh totally!
    I love, love, love to dance and since I got my Fitbit it's so much better now! :smile:

    When you leave your house and realise that your activity tracker needs to be charged :neutral: Or worse, when you forget to wear it (which never happens), it's as if I'm missing my arm for the day! haha

    I've actually experienced this and would like to know how the devil that works.

    When you are digging boxes and bags out of the garbage so that you can scan them into your log. (I recently did this at a funeral luncheon.)

    I once lost a full pound between the time I got in the shower and the time I got back out. Witchcraft!
