When you have a notebook next to your digital scale with all kinds of mathematical equations written on it.
I just put the calculator as a shortcut on the bottom bar of my computer for that purpose.pteryndactyl wrote: »When your food scale breaks and you get irrationally sad and annoyed that you won't be able to log accurately for two days until Amazon delivers the new one you ordered.

When it happened to me I ran to the store to buy one before dinner, lol.
When you have a back up food scale juuuuuust in case.
I had 3 at some point, but two died (one got drowned by my dear husband).
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.0 -
You are kind of disappointed when you've planned your dinner to hit your macros, get home from work and your husband is already cooking dinner. You won't hit your macros and nothing will have been weighed.
It happens rarely enough that it isn't worth stressing about. It is nice not to have to cook sometimes.6 -

Hahaha yesss! I even keep a charger in the car to make use of the time I'm stuck in traffic.3 -
You get annoyed by last minute dinner invitations when you've already prelogged your day and don't necessarily have a ton of calories left for dinner.

THIIIIIS!!! And then you accidentally forget it and it's the worst day ever.

When splitting something with my husband means he is so totally getting the bigger half. I'm saving my calories for later!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!)
Ha! Yep. That works for me too!
I pre-logged ice-cream last night and then didn't even eat it. Now I have to go back to yesterday's log and change it...

I see my kids food as calories in food shape and worry when they don't finish their food. But you only ate 30 calories!1

I talk about what I'm going to eat for lunch based on my workout after work. Coworkers look at me like I just stepped off a UFO.
so much yes. i can better tell what my body and mind needs that way.

Sunday for me--changed clothes a bunch of times and accidentally left my zip on the wrong bra. Then I went and danced for five hours. So many wasted steps! I will spend the next week trying to make up for it. My Fitbit total for the week is currently something like 70,000 steps--so embarrassing!0 -

Me too. And I hated that one. And the next one. Finally found one I liked.

I take it off after my morning workout when its all sweaty and wash it off with generic Cetaphil, dry it, then let it charge until I'm ready to walk out the door.1 -
Charging the Fit Bit...yes! That's a tough one.
Edit: on Monday I woke up before my alarm. I set my Fit Bit to charge then read for an hour.
