...you throw half a sheet of perfectly delicious cake down the garbage disposal instead of stuffing it in the back of the freezer to be devoured in a moment of weakness
...you develop an odd craving for green tea instead of snickers bars
...you begin to dream about salads instead of George Clooney
...you're more addicted to MFP than you are to Twitter
...you know the difference between a small, medium and large apple
Feel free to add to this list!! Kind of a fun way to add some humor to our weight loss journey!

Haha ^^ I have been spending way more time on MFP than Twitter! It's hard not behaving the same way here though. o.O I'm far more "myself" on Twitter.

When you really commit to the "it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle" philosophy....
When your <1200 calorie day doesn't consist of coffee for breakfast, 700 calories of fast food for lunch, and 400 calories of snacks for dinner. :bigsmile:0 -

...you know what a small, medium. and large banana, orange, and apple look like0 -
...when you eat something that isn't exactly healthy your body reminds you in not so subtle ways.
...when you get really frustrated at missing out on exercise instead of finding excuses not to do it.
...you wonder how many oz or grams are in the _____ you just ate, and then wonder if you'd get weird looks sneaking a food scale into a restaurant.
...you aren't too embarrassed to ask the server for the nutritional info, and then get irritated if they don't provide it.
(which leads to...)
...you tell your friends they have to decide where dinner will be before going out so you can go online and pre-plan what you'll order.
Yes, my friends think I have lost it.
And my favorite...
...you spend so much time on MFP your husband starts to wonder if you are on a dating site and looking to replace him. haha0 -
You pass on the oreo cookies after dinner because it would put you over your calorie goal for the day...even when you know you're going to workout an hour later!0

.....your friends are sick of you talking about boot camp (this is inspired by my friend)

You come home from a long, frustrating, exhausting, terrible day at work....

You do upper body circuits while nursing a leg injury...dang this one is too real right now...

...you know the difference between a small, medium and large apple
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This cracked me up!
Seriously, I can now look at fruit and estimate pretty damn accurately how much calories is in it now.... in the 'before-times', a banana was a freaking banana. Now... not so much
I say you know you're serious about losing weight when you look forward to your next workout and begin mentally preparing your next activity, instead of putting it off and winging it when you're there.0
