I think I'm taking the calorie counting too far...

Last night I dreamed that shampoo and conditioner had calories that could be absorbed through the scalp, so I had to be careful how much and which brand I used - eek!

That being said, it has become such a huge component of my day now. I'm going to a spring beer and wine fest this weekend and am trying to figure out when I can fit in a workout early Saturday so I can drink some beer and still eat some healthy food and stay within my calorie limit. Never would have thought that way even a month ago!

    I think it's only natural to dream about what we do in our waking hours. My husband and I are both dieting so much of our conversation revolves around "How many calories is that?" We talk about it so much we are driving the kids nuts...lol

    Enjoy yourself this weekend!

    That's why I stick to strawberry and avoid the chocolate mocha ones ;)

    That's a funny dream. I just recently stopped dreaming of food since I started in early Feb. I'm serious. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT I dreamt of some amazing food that I couldn't have. EVERY NIGHT for months. I felt like such a fatass for that! :frown:

    i was watching a show once with a woman who suffered terrible Anorexia and Bulimia, she was 28 and weighted 60 lbs,was afraid not that calories were in them but was afraid that the moisture from them and the shower would soak in and she would weigh too much so she avoided showers

    ha ha I actually had that dream.....or at least I've thought about it. I bought a jar of coconut oil to eat, then realized I wasn't going to use it very fast so I tried some on my skin and loved it. Now I use it for all kinds of skin and hair care. Much cheaper and better than store-bought stuff, and it's pure. (Happy Earth Day!)

    But at 120 calories a Tbsp and 14g of fat (12 of it Saturated!) I worry that I'm having lovely skin at the expense of it soaking in! Too funny.

    Fat hair totally cracks me up! I could use some fattening of my hair, though :)
