    When you take a 1-hour exercise class (that used to take forever but now just flies by) and get kinda sad when it ends.

    When you bring a huge tote bag of food to work with you full of veggies, protein snacks & fruit so you KNOW you won't hit the snack bar

    This ^^^^^...LOL! When you can't get the music to your favorite workout DVD (turbo fire) out of your head.
    -When you randomly do zumba moves with your feet while sitting at your desk at work.
    -When you even bring your own food to meetings at Panera bread.

    - when you make dinner and proudly announce "This has __ calories in it! ___ has more then ___ calories in it!"
    - when your family asks YOU what is healthier to eat
    - when you go out dancing and incorporate zumba moves
    - when you figure out the amount of calories sex burns

    you pass up donuts sitting on the breakroom table at work

    you're glad the "food day" at work is scheduled on your day off.

    you count how many hershey kisses you can have.

    you count how many m&m's you can have

    you count out the number of nuts you can have for a snack....
    you no longer say I don't have time to work out...you just find the time to work out....
    you plan out your whole day on your food journal before 9am.....
    you talk to your mfpals more than your other friends...
    your mfpals become your best friends....

    ......When you know how many calories a product has without having to check, and your family gives you weird looks because you voice it out loud.

    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.

    :noway: :embarassed:

    OK I had to re-read the "semen" item a couple times to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Initially this made my jaw drop, then I just laughed out loud to the amusement of my co-workers!

    Thank you - I needed that. :wink:

    -You pass on free cupcakes
    -You make up an excuse not to go to The Melting Pot for dinner
    -You have an AWFUL day and are left alone to your own devices and you still eat healthy and go to the gym.

    I hope 'it' isn't listed in the MFP database. If so my hubby will try to put it on my menu. LOL

    You get pissed at the grocery store when they ran out of whole wheat grain bagels
    When the taste of Soda makes you sick
    You actually look forward to going to the gym
    When you're kids tell you that they can't lay on your tummy anymore b/c its not soft

    the trunk of your car looks like the laundromat due to haiving 5 days of workout clothes in it everyday (no excuses for skipping)

    This is me.

    -When you won't go out to eat at place that isn't in MFP's database.
    -When you may be the one responsible for eventually getting MFP blocked at work
    -When you realize you have to balance your diet just like you balance your checkbook!

    ...you truly eat only one "serving" of Cadbury Mini-Eggs. :(

    I do this now, and it also makes me sad. But at least I spend the time to savor them now! :smile:

    - you actually start looking forward to getting up and hitting the gym at 5:30
    - you pack your gym bag the night before with everything you need for work
    - you sleep in your gym clothes for the next day
    - you start looking for any way to be active, and try recruiting friends and family
    - you feel let down when others aren't as excited to be active
    - you choke down foods that you never ate before because you know they are "superfoods"

    ...The thought of going back to eating the way you did before MFP scares the hell out of you
    ...You think about food all the time but it is what you will be cooking for your meals AND its all healthy!
    ...Never feeling guilty when you mess up because you know you will be able to work it off
    ...Someone asks you if you are losing weight because they actually noticed
    ...You begin to sleep well at night because the guilt about eating is gone
