You have to pour some coffee back into the measuring cup to get the last drops!
RIGHT???!!! I never top off my coffee anymore. I pour the cold leftovers into a decanter and make a whole new cup until the decanter amount is equal to a cup, then reheat, to log it easier

When you now the lawn not because it's long but because it means less time on the treadmill later.1

When you reside in an apartment complex & therefore don't have to shovel snow but awaken earlier than normal, just to beat them to it; for the exercise!1

I sing this too, but I do it when I have just stepped off the scale with a new loss. This also involves some significant butt-wiggling.When you have all your stuff logged before you get out of the checkout lane at the grocery store. Or when you start singing "Another One Bites the Dust" to yourself when you log your last food for the day.

You no longer understand how people can eat "normally" with no idea of the calorie content of what they're eating!2
-
You're behind someone in the checkout lane and mentally add up the calorie count of what they're buying.1
-
When I get annoyed when someone takes food off my plate because I LOGGED THOSE CALORIES AND I WANT THEM.3

When you take your food scale to your mom's place to weigh her ingredients are she cooks because she cooks this amazing dish without a recipe and you want to know exactly how many calories it contains
When you are appalled when people cook without a recipe weighed in grams and don't know the exact number of portions it will yield0 -
Not eating a snack because somewhere in the back of your mind you think: "and how am I going to log that?"
(and that's after three weeks of using mfp... what's it going to be like in a year?)0 -
I've moved my 3 'left over from Christmas' 1litre bottles of baileys into our spare bedroom to keep them out of sight. I checked the dates, so maybe next Christmas I can enjoy some. For me once it's opened, it's fair game !!0

When you decide not to buy a snow blower because shoveling snow is such a great workout (even though you silently curse for 2 days afterwards because you are SO SORE from shoveling all that heavy snow).You no longer understand how people can eat "normally" with no idea of the calorie content of what they're eating!
This. The worst for me is seeing people chowing down high calorie food that isn't even good in the first place (like Friendly's chicken fingers or grocery store cupcakes or something).0 -

my significant butt is why I'm on mfp in the first place...

@Francl27 I don't suffer from soreness because I do 2 things: 1 I stretch before I shovel & 2 I shovel in layers, so that I reduce the weight; on my shovel & I'll also shovel when there's a significant amount, even if it's still snowing; to reduce the amount of layers & time, that it'll take me; to do at once. Thereby granting me a rest period, in between.0 -
When you'll pay, to vacation on a work farm instead of getting paid, to work on a farm; for the exercise!0

...when all my measuring cups and spoons are dirty.1

I have been SO disappointed this winter. I was looking forward to being able to shovel now that I don't get winded just walking to the mailbox. Alas, there has been almost no snow where I am (Anchorage, AK).0 -
When you click on the "complete this entry" button right after logging dinner so that you're not tempted to snack in the evening. (I'm too embarrassed to add a snack after I've finished logging for the day, and refuse to cheat, so it's cut out my evening nibbles entirely!)
Yes! I do this too, people told me brushing my teeth would stop the snacking! but you can just brush them again
Once you have pushed that button, its game over or that day!1 -

Unfortunately you can also, push the button again; I've done it.0 -

Mine never does this anymore
When going out for lunch with an old friend you've not seen in forever is bitter sweet because although it's really lovely to catch up, you're majorly peeved you didn't get your lunchtime walk/step count up. (I work in an office and sit on my butt all day, and lunchtime in the winter months is the only time I get to walk outside in daylight!).0 -

I relate. When your routine changes and you stress about being able to fit in a workout.0 -
When you recognize and have as a friend most of the people who post here.0

Preplan your dinner meals out so that you don't go over your calories....0
-
When you have already looked up the calories of, and pre-logged, the All You Can Eat Full English Breakfast buffet you're going to on Saturday morning, and figured out exactly what's worth the calories and what isn't. (Bless Toby Carvery for having item by item nutritional info!)0
