You regard the bun that your chicken arrived is in as an 'indulgence'.
Your wine glass has ml and oz measurements Sharpie'd onto it.
You've had chocolate in your fridge for months that you can't quite bring yourself to 'spend' your calories on.
Your tastes have changed so much that you crave coleslaw more than fries.
You run up and down the stairs twice to get fitbit to give you enough calories to eat that last mince pie.
Your Pinterest 'Food and Drink' board is the stuff of dreams and fantasies.

I'm confused.
You say you have "chocolate in your fridge for months that you can't quite bring yourself to 'spend' your calories on."
What is this concept?0 -

Yes, totally this!! ^_^
Also:
Your boyfriend appears at the doorway, says, 'Hmm, one floor left, I'll just be a moment.' and walks upstairs.
Then comes back down and takes out his Fitbit Ultra, complains that it didn't register and tells it to 'Give me that blo*dy floor, you b*stard'.
Yes, this actually just happened.0 -
Lol! Love it!! Love it!! My sister got me a 2 lb snicker bar for Christmas, it's a best, I was dying to open it, so i did last night, had a small sliver, now i tell myself that it had to stay in the fridge till " that time of month"!! And the "measuring itt yourself with the measuring cups" i do that too0

You still have chocolate? GIMME0 -
You count everything you eat. I had to laugh at myself while counting crakcers last night!0

when you feel sad and hungry all the time and look at ur food scale with contempt0
-
It takes you 30 min longer to grocery shop because you're looking at every label.0
-
When you have five sets of measuring spoons but there never seems to be a clean tablespoon! (Seriously, it's my most used measuring device!)0
-
- It takes you an extra half-hour or so to do your weekly grocery shopping because you read the label (or compare labels) on everything you haven't purchased before.
- Meal planning involves a compass, a TI-80 graphic calculator, an Excel spreadsheet, and an astronomy chart0 -
When you see a new product the first thing you do is look at calories and gram of protein before buying it0

OMG this! I think I collect food. My mom knows I like gummie bears and swedish fish. I have some bags from September!!
I have chocolate in the fridge that I really don't like so am waiting to take them to a family member. Not worth eating them, I'll eat what I really like lol0 -
Counting every nut instead of counting the handfuls.0

Aw no, don't do that! Only people who are eating the wrong things or too few calories do that, in which case you're doing it wrong!0 -
When you innocently ask your friend, "what's the recipe for this? Did you use butter?"
Love the sharpie on wine glass idea!0 -

That made me laugh so hard that I spit out my mouthful of wine and wasted a good 10 mL!!!!! Golden!0 -
You allow yourself some toast as a treat. It puts you just over your calories for the day, but it's ok this once. You've had a hard week, after all.0

You weigh any meat, chicken or fish you have after it is cooked and when out can visually guesstimate calories/ounces.
You feel guilty if you go a little over your daily allowance of calories
You feel guilty because your life is so busy you had no time to workout. And yet, you probably ran around and burned lots of calories you know nothing about. Can't wear my HRM all day.0 -

The husband is taking his turn cooking, and presents your plate of food along with a sticky note with all ingredient amounts written down.
Now, that's romance.0 -
When you get home and go through your pockets for the wrapper of that protein bar/snackkie snack you bought that you need to log.0

I do that for mine! (Sometimes even with scannable barcodes handed to him.) He always smiles at me and tells me that he loves me for doing it, it's very sweet.0
