There are Reese's PB cups in your freezer, and you aren't even tempted to eat them!

You sacrifice a perfect naptime opportunity to do a quick workout DVD!

You turn down homemade fettucine alfredo for lunch, because you know it isn't going to fit in your calorie goal for the day!




These are mine, what are yours?

    You bring your own meal to a catered lunch at work so you can socialize but still eat healthy.

    You program your coffee maker and set your alarm clock for 4:30am to allow time to jog to the gym for Bootcamp before work.

    You make a stir fry for yourself while the pizza you've prepared for your family is baking in the oven.

    These are mine for this week :o) Interested in seeing others...

    when you pass several of your favorite fast food joints to go to the grocery to purchase & prepare healthy meals.

    When I get up with a back ache, stretch it out, ice it & go for a walk instead of taking pain relievers & lying on the couch all day

    When you stop drinking mike's hard cranberry lemonades even tho you love them cause they're 220 calories each (omg!, no way)

    I didn't go out to lunch with co-workers yesterday because they were going to Fudruckers for a burger. I logged in my Zumba class before I went so that I would have no excuse NOT to go even though i was SOOOOOOOOOOOO tired and wanted a nap.

    When you find that your natural response to the offer of cakes or biscuits at work is "no thanks". No matter how bad your day has been!

    awesome thread idea....

    you bring a cup of Cheerios (the anti-cake) to the office birthday celebration so you don't eat cake.

    you resist the packaged science project dinner that the rest of the family is eating and take the time to grill fish and asparagus (which you invite the rest of the family to eat with you).

    you spend time reading articles on fitness and nutrition instead of watching TV

    When one of your co-workers keeps a horse trough full of mini candy bars (no kidding) on a table right aroud the corner from your cubicle and you walk past it a gazillion times without even thinking about taking even one. Then head to the fridge for your stash of veggies and a water bottle. :)

    When you give up paid for lunches at work to go home and make something healthy.

    When you read every single package before eating and if it doesnt have a lable you just know it's not worth eating.

    When people look at you like your crazy for being to healthy. ( is there really such a thing?)

    Your boyfriend's birthday is coming up and all you can do is think about is which restaurant has the lowest cal dishes to take him to.

    You take apples to your nephew's birthday party so you can turn down the cupcakes.

    Certain foods' calorie counts you know by heart.

    You buy 1% milk instead of fat free on accident and are upset because 1% has more cals.

    You check the calories in a snack offered by a colleague before accepting or declining.

    Your dog eats the snow peas and whole wheat spaghetti that you drop on the floor instead of the fries you used to drop.

    That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure there are 1000s more if I sat here long enough coming up with them. Yes, those are all things that I've really done/have happened.

    Your friends stop texting you about nights out, they just know you're "trying to behave yourself"

    It takes twice as long to do a weekly shop because you're checking the packets of everything you put in your trolley.

    You throw a hissy fit because there are no cucmbers left.....the store has an at least an acre of floor space but no cucumbers? come on! they find room for 50,000 packets of crisps (chips) nae bother.

    You spend that extra 10 mins in the pool/gym/on the bike because you want a little spoonful of pesto with dinner.

    No matter how much you wash themYour trainers(sneakers) / tracksuit bottoms / inner calves all have slight grease stains from the chain ring of your bike.

    You know that TSA considers peanut butter is a liquid, becuase you cried and were very upset when they took it from you.
    They just didn't understand that you "need" that more than "anything"


    The other girls in the office invite you to lunch, but don't offer a menu ( because they know you have packed your own)


    5:30 am is your favorite time of day, becuase that is cardo :-) -- and your co-workers can tell when you miss a workout and literally avoid you.
