Lastnight I did! I was just so frustrated with always weighing and measuring and tracking.....and lastnight we made pizza pitas and I had my 15 turkey pepperoni on the counter and noticed my husband was taking those for his and not from the package! I threw a fit :( very pathetic I know but I just wanted to cry! I had a "poor pitty me moment" here's this guy who just eats whatever and I have to count and measure and he's taking mine that I already counted out....LOL I'm laughing now as I type this but at the moment it was a sad and pathetic situation. Anyone else have meltdowns like this?

    I had a monumental break down last night because my scales broke! I actually had a hissy fit like a 3 year old child because I couldn't weigh my tea out accurately. I completely understand your pain, us hungry folk get angry!

    Oh, i get frustrated when husband or the kids want a bite or whatever of my snack. I'm like, "You KNOW I have to weigh this crap out, go get your own!" :laugh:

    My husband knows better...seriously he does...

    But no I don't actually do that...I suspect there is more too it for you as well...tired? hormonal? stress at work?

    It does become frustrating at times, but I try to keep in mind that I'm working towards a goal and need to do what's necessary to achieve this goal.

    What concerns me about this post is why you couldn't just count out 15 more pepperoni?

    I mean, I'm assuming that you actually trusted the nutrition panel rather than weighing the appropriate serving size.

    No. Can't say that I have. Maybe there were some other emotional things going on?

    My husband tried to take some food I had already measured out and I told him if he touched my food I would kick him square in the nuts. He laughed, then saw the look in my eyes and realized that his nuts were in danger. He doesn't touch my food.

    I take brakes from logging here and there because I know one day won't ruin anything. This gives me a chance to feel a little more normal and not worry about every gram. Sometimes you just need to step back and decide if it is actually beneficial to track that exactly. If you have a larger deficit, then you might have some extra wiggle room to not track every gram.

    The last time I cried over food, I was pregnant, hungry, in the airport and my only options were soggy day-old sandwiches.

    I'd be throwing a fit if I was putting turkey pepperoni on my pita pizza too.

    My boyfriend is wanting to start weighing and measuring his food and get an account on MFP as well.

    I told him if we lived together and I could work part time instead of full time I could do all the tracking, weighing and measuring for both of us, and I could tweak both macros.

    He laughed in my face.

    Yes, last night. I ordered 15 chicken wings from a great wing place down the street. 8 Thai Chili and 7 Voodoo dry rub. Usually, my husband eats right around 10 wings. This is almost always the case, and there was other food, too, so I THOUGHT 15 wings was plenty. I'd get at least 1 or 2 wings, right?

    He. Ate. Every. Damn. One. Of. Them. I got to stick my finger in the dry rub dust to get a tiny taste. Then he just looked at me with that pitiful puppy-dog face, and said he was really sorry. :grumble:

    I love sharing food with my kids. They either hate it and never bother me for a taste again, or I'm a few bites under my goal which helps my plan to over estimate my calories and under estimate calorie burn.

    Well, I have had meltdowns, but they're usually when I'm at the down-swing of depression or anxiety. So, you know, you might consider what else you have going on.

    If I'm hangry, I'm just unlikeable. :D

    If I am going to have a meltdown it is going to be over something that matters.

    I cried in subway a few days before my son was born.... because the toaster was broken. Then I cried again because they used the wrong cheese.

    This is one of many reasons why I don't weigh every little thing I put in my mouth.
