    Soda burns when you drink it because it has been so long. (Does anyone else experience this or am I just broken? lol )

    Yes! That happens to me too! I stopped drinking soda 1 1/2 years ago and now it burns my throat when I drink it and upsets my stomach!

    Oh my! Been there, done that. Hubbie laughs at my measuring spoon "basket" and measuring cup "basket" collections. And yes, the tbsp. one is used the most along with the 1/2 cup.

    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!)
    WOW...this is always me...LOL and I get pissed if any one uses my measuring spoons and measuring cup.

    You regard the bun that your chicken arrived is in as an 'indulgence'.

    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.

    I do these 4 :laugh:

    When you shake a little bit out of the measuring cup so it's below the amount you want so you don't get the full 150 calories -_-

    when you feel sad and hungry all the time and look at ur food scale with contempt

    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!

    I love my food scale. It's the most used item in my house. :drinker:

    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.

    i do this all the time.
    Heck, I have dug it out of the trash before...my husband thinks I am insane. Google is also my best friend.

    Also sometimes when I am going out to dinner, if I know where then I will check the menu in advance to see what they have and what I want and to be prepared to make a good choice. So, when we get to the restaurant I often know what I want before looking at the menu or after a quick look, even if I've never been there. My husband says, "Wow, you always know so much about the restaurants".

    LOL! I ALWAYS do my research before we go out to a restaurant!!!

    You go out to eat at a Mexican restaurant with your coworkers and you're quietly keeping a tally on a napkin of the number of chips you ate.

    The app is my best friend. My moms like "want a piece of gum?" And I'm like how many calories are in it? Lol

    My typical dining out experience with my husband and 14yo teenager. Hubby's typical statement, "What's good for my little Rosie?" Of course fish entree, I reply. I order first always. Salad dressing on the side in order for me to dip the fork for every salad bite. "How is your fish prepared?" Make that low-fat and low calories, no oils and no butter. Got that. Thank you and you smile away. One more thing, please no grains or starches on my entree but can they add extra vegetables? Feel free to charge me extra for the vegetables. No extra charges on vegetables! Move the basket bread away from me, start talking and let hubby and son munch on the bread. Every dining experience is a success as I do not go over calories!

    when you put something back such as a cracker if the serving calls for 9 crackers and you get 10
    when your hubby just shakes his head and says, you had a lick of that peanut butter that fell on your finger from making the 4 year old his pb and j sandwich, are you going to log that. :laugh:

    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. :|

    Just ate toast! lol!

    you workout longer just so you can have that cookie and be under your calories.

    You become really good at adding fractions because you dig through a chopped salad and start putting together quarters of cherry tomatoes, fifths of black olives and julienned carrots.

    You're allowed 24 chips as a treat, but you seek out the largest ones in the bag.

    Haha i do this!

    When you're losing track of where you are in the cooking steps for something you've made a gazillion times before without thinking because you're scanning and writing down everything for a new My Recipe here on MFP!

    I did that tonight. Totally forgot to preheat my oven, and almost overcooked the pasta because the barcode didn't want to cooperate on the soup can! haha

    You email Burger King for the nutritional information of the Bomb Burger you just saw on the telly, because you can't find it on their website.

    And then wait more than a day for the reply before you decide whether to to go and buy one or not...

    (Yes, I did this :blushing: But it worked - I no longer wanted it when I found out the calories!)

    This sounds good! So, share the info., please, so I can nix it from my "To Eat" list.

    It was a while back now, but I think it was around 500-600 or so calories. I remember thinking it wasn't so bad compared to some of the other burgers, but then realised it was almost half my daily allowance! I think I even worked out how much 'good' food I'd be able to have for the same calories - another 'counting calories' thing to do!

    When your husband brings an Arby's Molten Chocolate Lava cake to you at work and the first thing you say is, "Are you flipping crazy???? What the hell is wrong with you???" =-/
