    You want to talk about NSVs and weigh ins with complete strangers at your tables when you're waitressing because you noticed the icon on their phone. It's even worse when they order and you want to tell them "no, order it THIS way, you'll have 438 calories"

    ...and logging food before you eat it
    ...planning nights out on mfp before you leave.
    ...entering exercise before showering
    ...and your inbox is full of mfp emails
    ...the feeling that no one outside of your friends list really understands that fitness isn't an obsession, you're just not lazy anymore.

    When you wish your friends on here were all your friends in real life, because then you'd have the most amazing crew of motivational workout buddies! Just for the record, I do have great friends in real life who are great workout buddies....but it would be awesome to have like 300 of those!

    FOR SURE! I was just sitting here wishing that today! HAHA!!

    Yeah, and also, 90% of my emails are from MFP too! HAHAHA!

    You lie in bed at night thinking, "Did I lock the door?" You say to yourself, "I can't remember; oh well..." then you roll over to fall asleep.



    Lying there half asleep you think, "Did I log in that banana I ate before dinner?" You then hop out of bed and frantically search for your phone so you can check to see if you logged in everything you ate that day.

    When you pull out your phone to scan the barcode on the Black Velvet apricots you just sampled at Sam's Club, and then tell the sample lady all about MFP :bigsmile:

    when you are talking to someone who doesnt need to lose weight or any person at that and you talk about mfp and it comes up in the conversation more than 10 time and finally the person / ppl you are talking to ask you what mfp is!

    when you know the calorie burn for your walk to Starbucks and the calorie content of your grande, non-fat, extra hot latte!

    You warn someone the amount of calories, carbs, protein, sodium, and sugar of a specific food they're about to consume. Drives my friends crazy :devil:
    This one made me laugh. It is so true! I was warning my bosses wife about that ribeye they ordered for us at the ruth chris that had over 1300 calories. I just felt like a true friend could not conceal this knowledge.

  • You find pure, absolute joy of weighing yourself in the AM, going to the bathroom, then weighing yourself again!

    .....or am I just crazy? :laugh:

    When you get your laptop ready along with your iphone to go to a friends.........you forget the laptop bag and get to your friends to realise that you left your phone charger in the car of which has been driven off by your friend....

    You're halfway through compiling a message on MFP using the iphone to have the phone.....run out of charge!!!
    No laptop, no iphone = NO MFP!!!

    = TANTRUM !!! ha ha ha - could job I'm patient in reality!
