...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.

    Serious about losing weight when...
    No sugared soda has entered this house in a month (diet exists still for consumption by my lovemuffin.)
    The treadmill does not get closed up and instead gets used several times a day.
    There are 5lbs hand weights on my breakfast table. xD
    "Wheat germ" is starting to sound less disgusting.

    When...
    ... offered a snack late night, I decline.
    ... do not finish my children's food if they can't eat it.
    ... go shopping without eating terrible at the food court
    ... slamming water like a mad woman!

    You look up a menu online before going out and decide not to go there.
    You know that semen has not only calories but nutritional value
    You wear your heart rate monitor to do everything just for fun. But only log actual exercise.
    You donate your "fat" clothes instead of packing them up for a later use.

    ....You buy a set of digital kitchen scales so that you can log your food correctly.
    ....You feel guilty and your day is not complete if you haven't gotten a good workout.

    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:

    hahahahahaha!

    -when your kids ask for desert and you give them carrot sticks
    - when your husband loses 5lbs just because you stopped buying potato chips
    - when you seriously consider exercising with a fever of 102!!!!
