    ... A man invites you out to dinner. You invite him for a jog.

    ... You find yourself flexing your abs whenever you sit down, and wonder why people think your "constipated face" is weird.

    ... Instead of drinking games, you try work out games. (Especially Harry Potter ones! However many points each house scores, that's how many jumping jacks you do. Try it. It's nuts).

    ... You know what fitspo is.

    ... You are a label-reading extraordinaire.

    ... Things like fat people eating cake make you ANGRY.

    ... You know granola bars are really just candy bars... with oats.

    ... No tablespoon measure?! No peanut butter.

    -When you get mad because someone wants to stop you while walking to talk to you.
    - When you can tell the exact amount of calories in any food to anyone.

    -The word calorie is the number one word out of your mouth (and your 5 yr old tells you this)
    Hahaha, my 4-year-old knows all about calories-in, calories-out now. He picks up one of my hand weights and says, Momma, I'm burning calories. And he asks, Momma, where do the calories go? LOL. Good question. I had to google it.

    when...
    ...you pass up birthday cake at work--this happened today :)
    ...you throw your child's uneaten cupcake in the trash instead of eating it--this happened tonight :)
    ...you work out even though you don't feel like it, and then you are so glad you did--this happened tonight :)

    I woke up on my birthday and I knew that if I didn't go for a run, I wouldn't have the best day ever. So I ran on my birthday. This would have been LAUGHABLE a year ago!

    ... your hubby asks you to bring home some McDonald's meal when you're done @ the gym, and you do so, but only buy food for hubby, not for yourself.
    I can relate. I brought home Wendy's for my husband last night but didn't get anything for myself. He looked at me like I was crazy. By the way, I was STARVING, and had to drive for 2 miles alone in the car with those french fries. Not even a nibble! I kept chanting, do not eat the french fry. Almost home. Made it. Ha!

    - your work colleagues give you a fresh fruit platter for your birthday instead of cake.
    - you consider what sexual positions will work off more calories. :bigsmile:
    - you do a squat or two or three.. if you have to pick up something off the floor.
    - try an beat your time going up and down the stairs every time you have to go to the loo at work.

    When you eat just one hershey kiss
    When you can't wait to wake up, run to the bathroom, get naked and weigh yourself
    When your husband makes secret stashes in your house for all the food that used to be in your fridge.
    When cheating on your diet consists of fresh veggies and dip.
    When you find people hiding in your bathroom eating pizza rolls

    When you give a girl scout that look like "if you ask me if I want to buy a box of cookies I will give you the People's Elbow in from of this WalMart"
    Awww! The Peoples Elbow
    ...When your significant other (currently deployed) tells you he’d rather hear how your day actually was than what/when you ate/worked out.
    ...When you actually send those pictures he’s been asking for!
    ...When you respond to ANYONE else’s pain in workout terms (Pain is temporary!)
    ...When you have a “crush” on guys at the gym because they can lift more than you.
    ...When MFP on your phone is too hard while running sprints so you text yourself the times to track immediately after you’re finished.
    ...When you can’t decide if you want a sports bra or running shoes with your bday/Christmas money.
    When you realize you have to balance your diet just like you balance your checkbook!
    AMEN
    ...When Rachel Ray suggests you add a mile or two to your run and you *know* it’ll take at least 5 miles to burn off all the cheese/bacon she just added.
    ...Wfter two glasses of wine (preplanned of course) you & your bff have a squat contest and you win. At 147. Without falling down dead.
    ...When you have the day off and can only think about working in a run. A long run.

    ... I say no to a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting.

    Frankly though, that could be a sign of serious illness.

    your boss gives you gourmet chocolates and you give them away without eating one.

    you don't like to eat anything without knowing the nutrition information and referring to MFP to see how it fits into your day..you also insist on weigh out portions before you eat.

    your coworkers start being apologetic when they invite you to go out to lunch because they know you're trying to lose weight and feel like they're tempting you, but don't want to exclude you either.

    you have multiple conversations daily about exercise and nutrition with people who aren't on MFP.

    you catch yourself tallying other people's calories when you eat with them.

    you bought running shoes and workout clothes with your Christmas and birthday money.

    * when you pick your 8 year old up after school and her first questions are "what's for dinner? & What's our exercise today?"

    * when same 8 year old knows how to bag up her own snacks from a big bag and count out a proper serving size

    * when you just can't bear to "drink" your calories, 140 calories of juice or food, i'm going with food every.single.time!

    * when your s/o is mad cause you buy your own seperate 100- calorie snacks (for my sweet tooth) that are off limits to them because they eat 2 to 3 packs a sitting instead of the one

    * you carry crystal light packets in your purse to add to your water when you eat out

    * you recite the calorie count on something everytime someone offers you something unhealthy

    When you look forward to the weekend, not just because it's time off work, but it's also more time to spend in the gym

    When you avoid seeing friends as you know whatever you do with them with revolve around high fat food!

    When you put off uni work to go to the gym.

    - you wake up early knowing you have to work a 12 hour shift just to go to the gym

    - you actually measure out a serving size of everything you eat

    - you have the will power to say no to your favorite unhealthy food.

    ....you vacuum out your car and discover candy and french fries.... and realize you haven't touched any of that stuff in over 2 months! :noway: (Maybe my car will stay clean now?)
    ...you dream about eating junk food, and wake up in a cold sweat because in your dream you went over your calorie limit!

    Your son says "Mommy I can put my arms around you" or he asks " do you have any calories left" or "are you still on the elliptical"

    You ask your other co-worker who is also using MFP - "why dont they bring in platters of fruits instead of donuts and danishes"

    You have MFP bookmarked on your computer, downloaded to your Ipad 2 and as an Android app on your cell phone. I was sitting at a basketball game and was entering in my calories..lol

    Your current 'Wish List' consists of a HRM, a nutritional food scale, a blender & a medicine ball :)

    Your partner walks into the room, looks at the TV that is frozen & has a message on it stating 'You have reached the end of the recording' & says "Ummm, your show is over" cause you were working out along with the instructor on TV but didn't feel that you got enough out of it so were still on the floor doing bicycle crunches :D

    You inform the children that when purchasing Easter chocolate for Mummy this year, quality over quantity please, as Mummy can't have much so it had better be good ;)
