I knew I was hooked when I went on vacation less a little over a month after joining and I was logging the grilled chicken and avocado sandwich I had for lunch at Disneyland while sitting at the table eating it.

I knew I was hooked when I made some of the most amazing and inspiring friends I've ever had online.

I knew I was hooked when I didn't stop logging when I started to get sick.

I knew I was hooked when I had my husband log me in to update my friends while I was in the ICU after brain surgery in February.

I knew I was hooked when I started logging my food again 10 days after having my surgery.

When were you hooked? :smile:

    Is it freakish that I remember that I ate a grilled chicken and avocado sandwich at Disneyland over 2 years ago?

    I knew I was hooked when I've went all day without logging and feel really guilty about it and anxious at the same time to sit still at the computer or grab my phone to post my meals and water intake.

    There is a lot decent to eat there, the problem is they don't publish their nutritional information so you have to guess.

    It's not sad. It's awesome that they have decent options and that you can go on vacation and not go totally nutbags over food.

    I knew I was hooked when I turned down going to lunch because I couldn't find a good enough representation of the food I'd eat in the database and couldn't take the chance that it had more calories than I'd expect.

    I knew I was hooked when I made strategic plans during vacay to manipulate hubby into hooking up wifi at every stop in time to login at least once each day so as not to lose my "Logged in for X days" status. I was suspicious when i struggled to make myself invisible during this time fearing the worst paleo/vacation/frustration posts but spent an hour doing so in a way that let me logon daily without anyone seeing any of my other status updates so as not to invite conversations that might lead to rants.

    Yeah^ way too much though/analysis/neurosis for just a little "hobby" right?

    When I started remembering in my sleep something I forgot to log so I wake up in the middle of the night or with the first ray of sunshine to add it.
    When I halved my shoe budget so I could add to my fitness budget instead
    When I wake up on weigh in day SIKED to weigh AND log my NEW weight.
    When I met some of the most inspiring people online I've ever had the blessing to get to know
