    ....When your co-workers think you're a nice guy (or girl) because you brought in treats for everyone... but in reality, you needed to get that crap out of your pantry because it was wreaking havoc on your log totals.

    OMG yes! Or, you have that friend who can eat everything he/she wants and never gain a single pound and they just mutter the words "I'm hungry." and your like "Oh, I have snacks you can have. 3rd cabinet on the left. Everything on the middle shelf is for grabs!" (Then you secretly glare at them envious that they can sit there and consume exactly 1,365 calories of crap. And you know you probably calculated those cals correctly.)

    Yes Ma'am! I have a small crap area on one of my shelves just for guests... otherwise I'd only be able to offer up my precious supplements and cardboard flavored snacks. But I'm a little selfish with my snacks and hate sharing them

    haha me too...one of my new staples that cures my sweet tooth are the fiber one oats and caramel or oats and strawberries. I will tell everyone "You're welcome to whatever, but I'll shank you for my fiber bars." (and my string cheese...that is instant death)

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

    This is so true! I already every look at FB anymore, I am too busy logging on to MFP.

    ... You have to get a back-up battery for your iPhone
    ... You judge how good a real friend is by how tolerant they are of your calorie counting

    your 6 yr old child asks you "how many grams does that weigh?" and "how many calories did you burn today, Mommy?"

    when you're pissed that your dad mowed the entire lawn without you because you could have used the exercise calories.

    When you keep refreshing the Success Stories (and other message board pages) just to see the new successes as they come in.

    When you cant wait for that day to update you weight loss ticker because you just know it is a good week.

    When your friend, who is also a MFPer, asks you "How much is that?" and you know she's talking about calories not dollars....

    LOL! so true! sis-n-law and i do this together....we text emergency calorie lookups to one another when one of us is facing a food choice and has no info available! :drinker:

    When my daughter, who is also on MFP, says "How did you log that?" when we are eating together!:flowerforyou:
    and when I get frustrated because there is no "LIKE" button and I remember that this isn't facebook...
    and because I know most people here can RELATE and UNDERSTAND the issues we are facing. I love my MFP family!

    I sat complaining the other day that my iPhone battery was dying, not because I'd miss a call from the OH but because I wouldn't be able to update my calories at dinner from my app.

    Oops...

    When your co-workers have brought a huge container of cookies, and the first thing you do is look at the caloric content of one cookie and figure out that 7 cookies equal ALL THE CALORIES FOR ONE DAY, put them down, and walk away.
