Packing my lunch this morning and needed 3oz of turkey breast for my sandwich. I was an ounce over on the scale, so I ate the extra ounce to bring it down to 3oz!

I did however feel guilty, so went back and adjusted my log to 4oz.

    I did not track that slice of homemade berry pie I ate last night. I made it. It was good!

    BUT, that was prob 300-400 calories I needed to account for. Oh well (shrugs)

    If I eat after 10PM I usually say I'll enter it the next morning.

    ...and then forget about it...

    ...until 2 days later when I get on the scale and wonder why I'm gaining weight...

    I ate a slice of cake and logged it, then ate another and didn't log it. Bold me!!

    I've lost 12 pounds in the last 3 weeks, but it isn't because I'm doing things right. I'm mourning the loss of someone very close to me.

    I just estimated the total number of cookies I ate. Probably way more than what I actually logged.

    If I end up eating all my breakfast for the week on Saturday (I eat bars). I still log it for the next Monday thru Friday.

    It ends up being the same calories for the week, but I just don't like those red numbers.

    I don't weigh my sugar or measure my cream in the morning coffee but I suspect I have logged over what I actually use...

    I don't add any cream or sugar to my third cup of coffee so it's all good...

    now if it's cake or pie or something damn straight I log it...those things have as much as a meal in them...no way would I not log that.

    Hit, the finished logging button with every intention of being done for the night. Then decided I wanted a bowl of frosted cheerios... Didn't bother to go back in and log it. I am okay with it...

    I "accidentally" leave out adult beverages I've consumed at the beach. If you don't log it... it didn't really happen right??

    I'm a perfectionist - one day of going over my calories would wreak havoc in my brain (sad, I know). If it gets to the end of the day and I have no calories left but I need something to eat... I add something to my exercise log, like cleaning I did during the day, or mowing the yard. Things I wouldn't normally add as exercise, just enough to be able to have a snack.

    Two of my four kids have gotten this trait from me. I feel like I should apologize to them :ohwell:

    Within 6 months last year I ate about 40 pounds' worth of Cheez-Its and didn't log them. I mean 40 pounds on my fat *kitten*, not 40 actual pounds in Cheez-Its. I don't do that anymore.

    I would have had a complete mental breakdown by now if going over did this to me.

    I eat a lot of partial pretzels. They don't count.

    I leave out my Friday night beer sessions. Its a lot of beer, but I stay under my calories every day of the week and go to the gym 5 days a week. I use to log beer and hated seeing the extra calories, I switched to Michelob Ultra though! Hahahahaha

    I log everything specifically but sometimes when I am doing food prep I'll throw a nut or a cherry or something very small into my mouth.. I don't count that. I figure it's so small I am burning the calories by virtue of chewing and swallowing the item.

    my tracking methods are totally bass ackwards (compared to the MFP norm), but my confession is i did not track at all this past long weekend, and i definitely am paying for it

    The calories don't count when you eat peanut butter if it is stuck to the top of the fresh seal when you first open a new jar. They also don't count when your five year old doesn't finish her protein source... steak, chicken and eggs. No logging, no calories. I'm a sinner.

    This sounds normal to me. Oh, that's right. I have issues too, lol! I blame it on being an oldest child.

    I don't usually drink very often but this past weekend I drank on Friday and Sunday. So I had planned to reduce my carbs those days from other sources to account for the beer. Well, on both occasions I went way over on the beer consumption and stopped counting after a while. lol Weight stayed the same though.
