You get irrationally annoyed if someone steals a morsel off your plate or some of the grated cheese you have carefully set aside. I already weighed that!!!! It's MINE!!!!!

I had to sit down and explain this to my boyfriend. "Listen honey. I no longer share stuff, ok? Please don't expect me to offer and please do not grab something if I don't".

By the same token, don't offer me stuff. I don't want a lick or a taste of anything that is not mine, EVER. I am surprised at how often this annoys people.

YES YES YES YES!! My kids (3yo and 1.5yo) steal my food and my husband laughs while I sulk. I logged it and now I'm going to starve!

You have an IDGAF non-logging day and you're still weighing stuff :huh:

Me, too.

Also when you know the weight of your pans/most used bowls for easy recipe building.

When you get overly excited when you chop a hunk of say cucumber off for a snack before weighing it, put it on the scale and it read 100g even. I think I actually yell "YES!!!!" haha.

That I try to see how accurate my guesswork is before looking at the scale...hmmm looks like so and so many grams...okay, let's see!

When you're on vacation looking for grocery stores to buy fresh salad or fruit while everyone else wants to go to a restaurant.

When I lick the yogurt off the pull off foil lid.

Those are my calories and if I have to log them...I'm going to eat every last one of them.

I do that!

And when I have a steak I weigh it cooked, then weigh the stuff I trim off and subtract it

I am so glad that I am not alone!

I do however make sure that no one is looking. LOL

We were at Disney World and I about to hit my highest steps ever, 40,000 steps, by the time we got back the truck, I only had a few (can't remember) steps left, so I walked around the truck a few times to hit 40,000 steps, lol. My hubby laughed at me.

When peanut butter comes out exact amount of grams you need and yell, I am awesome, lol.

Anybody ever done this one? My old pedometer is out of commission / don't have a fitbit, so on day 1 of walking I took the car on that exact route to get my mileage... I began to go a bit further and I counted each step in my head! (hey 100 steps is 100 steps!) Now I'm mainly just timing it & not worried about distance. Kinda feel like I'm from the dark ages without all the awesome tools available, but it's still science! LOL

Actually, that's how I found out how far it was to walk in my neighborhood. Just slightly over a mile, so I log it as one mile. My doxie loves going for walks, and until I got him, I never just walked around aimlessly! Now it's fun!

You wonder at the caloric implications of err.. certain bedroom activities...

Or you wear a heart rate monitor whilst doing said bedroom activities.

I don't use a pedometer and have driven all the routes I take in my neighborhood to total the mileage. I know the exact length of every street.

Why not trim and then weigh?

Your husband asks, "how many grams do you want?" while scooping you ice cream.

He's a keeper!

When you go to a salad bar you create said salad in little piles of ingredients in the container so you can go home and weigh each and log before eating. Even though you've just worked out and are so ravenous you could also eat said container.

You have an internal temper tantrum when dinner plans change because you prelogged.

Yaaaaaaaaasssssss

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!)

When you stop worrying what you can't eat and concentrate on what you can to hit that bloody protein macro

When you'll only eat at eateries, that have Nutrition Facts available; for their items & also bring your scale.
