    haha!!

    Logging food on your phone...whilst eating it :blushing:

    I do this all the time, and it makes me mad if my phone wont let me log it. I have to be in a Wifi or Hotspot zone to use the damned app on my phone :(

    Also, when you spend ten minutes in a single isle of the grocery store trying to find the food you want with the lowest calories AND sodium so you can stick it in your cart.

    You dig through the garbage to find the exact name of the food you just ate.
    YES! I am not the only one that does this!

    You never knew what and how much sodium was in food until you joined, now you hate the stuff and know the content in all the food you eat on a regular basis....

    When you research your restaurant choice to find out what you're going to eat before you go. I have my order at Moe's memorized.

    I just did this last night, except I actually went to the outside garbage can in the garage, not just the one in the kitchen. Haha.

    Today i totally stuffed an empty protein bar wrapper in my pocket so i could add it to my food log when I got home...



    my phone app wouldn't save it

    I did that the other day with a sandwich wrapper. Didn't want to try to scan while driving. ;)

    When you start packing your meals and snacks to take with you to work for your 24+ hr shift, though you work at a home and have to cook for everyone, but you don't trust the other staff to have bought healthy choices.

    When you see someone at work is eating a frozen lunch and the first words out of your mouth is... "do you know how much sodium is in that?"

    I downloaded MFP onto my BOYFRIEND'S IPhone so that I would never be without MFP! He was like, "what the HELL is MFP??!" LOL , he's amazing. He loves how hard I'm working to get healthy and stay that way!!!

    When you seem like you're going camping because you grab a jug of water and stuff your pockets with healthy snacks before you head out the door.

    I'm stealing this from one of my MFP friends.. but I do this too!!!

    When.... You have a panic attack because someone else has cooked for you and you don't know how to log it!
    Yes!

    I'd add that when you try to explain that you can't eat the free break room food at work because then you won't have enough calories for dinner, and then you proceed to hover over said food and inhale.
    Okay maybe only I do that.

    lol, this, but I'd also have to add....
    when you're a guest at a party and you go through THEIR trash to find the package of the finger foods they're serving. I did this and allowed myself one serving of two pieces of feta and spinach triangle things at 130 calories per serving.

    I know I'm a MFP junkie...

    First of all, being called a 'comment ho' by a fellow MFP peep pretty much says it all. LOL
    Secondly, when I'm at work, I spend more time on MFP than I do working.
    Thirdly, I just about have more friends on MFP than I do on FB. I hardly ever log in to FB anymore. FB is boring and MFP is HOT.
    Finally, I LOVE my peeps on here and honestly do not know what I would do without them...they are my drug.

    you go away for the weekend, and have to lug, a tote full of pre-measured healthy choices, so you don't have to eat out.

    I do the wrapper in the purse thing, the pulling wrappers from the trash thing, the making my husband wait to order at a restaurant until I've looked up the calorie count thing, the finding pee places thing, the putting protein bars in my pockets/purse thing, the checking MFP before facebook (always) thing, constantly on this site at work.

    Also:
    I will buy food to bring to someone's house if I know they don't have healthy choices for me
    I tell everyone I know about MFP and how awesome sauce it is
    I am instantly offended when people are like "well that sounds too hard/lame/complicated/whatever for me" when I tell them about MFP
    I tell people IRL about the success of my MFP friends

    ...I'm sure there are others that an outsider would notice...

    When you check your MFP home page more than your facebook account ;)

    I'm much more addicted to MFP than FB now!!!

    Also... I look up menus and calories before I'll go out to eat so I can choose intelligently what I can eat!! I won't even go to some restaurants b/c they don't have healthy enough choices!!

    *raises hand* that's me!!

    When you open your fridge and all the containers have little post-its on them with the weight so you can easily add it to your log.

    When the first thing you do in the morning is check MFP to make sure you finished all your logging the night before and to see what your friends have said.... :flowerforyou: I'm totally a junkie!! :tongue:

    Before eating something in a package you turn it over and count out how many you can eat for the serving. I'm always counting out 12 almonds. ha

    You dig through the garbage to find the exact name of the food you just ate.

    Oh, God, yes! I'm ashamed to admit it... but yes.

    Also, my contribution: When you make sure you suck EVERY last crumb/drop out of that package, cuz you paid for those calories, dammit!

    yes to both of these!!

    before you go anywhere outside of your house/work, you say, do i need to pee before i go? will i make it the 10/20/30 or so minutes outside without need to find a bush on the side of the road? will there be toilets where i am going? - this is so true for me ever since one evening when i drank 3 pints of water around dinner, peed twice in the following half hour without drinking anything else, walked to Tescos and had to hop about the aisles looking for someone who worked there to see if there were any toilets! thank god there was one down on parking level or i never would have survived! and then i needed to go once more when i got home. :laugh:

    its gotten to the point where its a running joke with my roommate. when i excuse myself from the kitchen for a minute she always knows. "going to pee jade?" "you know me so well....:blushing: "

    HAHA! I do that so that I don't have to go through the pain of weighing what I didn't eat and update my log!
