    For me MFP is a great diversion from eating (junk) and a reminder to keep on track with my weight/health goals.

    Yeah, with my decreased motivation at work I find myself on this website every day, and for way too long each day. Oh well, they haven't fired me yet.

    I fully expect to be unemployed once the IT department traces back to me...

    I legitimately have this fear!! Funny how it still doesn't stop me though...

    I don't have anything to do at work so I'm here all the time. They can yell at me if they want, but what else am I supposed to do?

    Right there with you. I've had to turn off my second monitor to keep from checking what's going on while I'm waiting for files to load.

    I'm an addict, too. I've become obsessed with this site. I spend way more time here than I do on Facebook. My *friends who I know in real life* probably wonder where I've gone. lol

    I wouldn't say it wears off, I've been doing it for almost 2 years now, I think you'll find moderation though. When I need motivation, I will find myself looking for before and afters more and I do check my friends daily but it will all even out eventually. =D WELCOME ABOARD!!!!

    The conversation that goes through my head when I envision IT catching up to me:

    Me: "No I do work!"
    Them: "Um, on 8/24/12 you went to myfitnesspal.com/ 237 times, and myfitnesspal.com/chrisrs87 194 times, not to mention the numerous visits to a page called 'Tell me what is sexy about myself'. Yeah sorry, we're gonna have to let you go."
    Me: "But it's fitness and wellness related, I'm trying to reduce your health insurance premiums by staying healthy!"
    Them: "Judging by the amount of time lapsed on this website, we think it's fair to estimate you only did actual work for about, 110 minutes, GTFO"

    Same boat here! I spend a lot of time on here everyday while at work and at home.

    Yep. On here way too much, and then on my iPhone to log. I confess though that my favorite threads are the "in before the lock" trainwrecks for their entertainment value. I don't comment on them often, but I'll read the entire dozen-page thread.

    oh yeah, Im on here too much. I check in every meal, and cruise the forums a bit in the evening too. On the other hand, if Im doing that Im not eating or doing other things that waste time in much worse ways, so I think I'll stick with it.

    I spend waaay too much time here reading through the posts. I sometimes wonder how thin I would be if I spent the time exercising instead.

    ^--This. If I'm on here reading about people trying to be healthy and lose weight, the chance I'm going to go eat a cookie drops dramatically. :P So I consider my addiction a healthy one. ;)
