    When you get a new set of scales as a Christmas present and that is actually a great gift!

    When you ask your surgeon if you can wear your fitbit during surgery so you can log the sleep. And yes, I did ask but (honest) I was only kidding!

    When people think your hobby is taking pictures of bar codes.

    LOL!!! My roommate gave me the funniest look the other day. He doesn't make a habit of watching me cook but he was very curious of why I needed so many pictures to cook dinner

    But when you have to make sure your Fitbit-wearing arm is free to swing as you walk - no carrying anything or pushing anything with that arm! Every step must count!

    Definitely this!

    This is Fitbit related, but since I love seeing those calorie adjustments, I'm putting it here!

    I did a test on this. If you are doing an activity that does not permit your arm to swing, if you put the fitbit in your pocket it will count your steps correctly - for walking at least.

    When you decide to walk an extra 8,000 steps to make up for the food you weren't supposed to eat.

    Or you look at something tasty, and debate with yourself whether it's worth x,000 additional steps so that you can stay within your target.

    When the cashew nuts almost spill from the pouch and onto the ground and you CHASE it down and catch it for dear life because this is your snack for the entire rest of the day!

    When there are "only" four restaurants you allow yourself to eat out at and you know the exact meal you can have and how many calories it contains. Then you log it as a meal......because you have it in your data bank as a meal :)

    OMG... welcome to my life! That is so me that my daughter is concerned when we travel I just won't eat!

    When you won't try someone else's food because you're too lazy to figure out how to track it.

    And when you take a shower and then try... just for a second... to track it somewhere.

    When you're craving something and look up calories from that dish at restaurants and decide to make it at home instead to save half the calories.

    Or when you look up restaurant menus and everything is high calorie and you can't even pick anything that you want enough for it to be worth the calories and end up eating at home instead.

    Story of my life nowadays. I miss eating out and just ordering whatever I feel like without worrying about calories.

    @Francl27 how about dividing a restaurant's portion, into more than just their 1 meal & consume the additional portions, as separate meals; until it's gone. So if a restaurant meal, is equivalent to my daily calorie allotment; it gets divided into 6 meals.

    When you are about to go to bed, but you notice one of your Fitbit friends has just passed you, so you pace about the house until you are tops of the leader board again.

    ^ my daughter and I got Fitbits for Christmas and now spend most of the evening doing sly walks up and down the stairs and in and out of the kitchen everytime one of us goes ahead of the other - husband and son think we've lost the plot

    When you have a rare cup of coffee with Bailey's Irish Cream, and, after logging it, seriously consider (almost) whether you should switch to it rather than your regular Bailey's Coffee Creamer because, even though it is 9 calories more, the macros are much, much, er, healthier.

    When you walk around the house with your laptop in the hands to make sure your Fitbit (that is on charge) continue to track your steps.
