If you do all those things, then isn't that not being honest with yourself? Which was kind of the whole point of the post?
I said a lot not all lol I dont log my vegetables usually, unless they are major. But I dont eat many either even though I should because they go bad quick and we are low income with no car. This means we get a lift to the store and my bf works almost nonstop so we only get to go once or twice a month. I need veggies that last or Im screwed. And the point of the whole post as I see it was that you cant lose weight doing those things? It says reasons why people arent losing. I do lose doing that. So... No? I am being honest with myself because I know what Im doing. But if I dont feel like logging online just to log some oil or a slice of tomato then I wont. If Im succeeding I dont see why its a big deal. I get that a lot of people do that then complain they arent losing. Thats different. If its not working change it. If its fine for you feel free to continue it.0 -

Another righteous food logging trick: This looks like a teaspoon; I'll log it as a teaspon (usually of oil)0

This is amazing and so funny.
I'm guilty as charged on that - When making salads I end up eating half of it whilst "making" it.
I just keep munching on vegetables...I try to not do the same with higher calorie items lol1 -
Oh wow, thanks for the laughs - love it!0

Licking the spoon/knife you used doesn't count toward the calories.2
