1-When going to the grocery store and reading all the ingredients on the package and moving along.
2-Being asked for dinner and going to their website to see what I can fit in
3-Not eating ice cream every night.0 -
I feel unbalanced if I don’t have a portion of dark, leafy greens every day. I don’t beat myself up for eating some dark chocolate and red wine once in a while. I haven’t bought beer in 5 months… and I don’t care!0

The day you work out in the morning because you know you're going out to a restaurant for a friend's birthday.
Also, the day you look at the menu of said restaurant and pick your meal ahead of time so you know exactly how many calories you need to burn on your workout.0 -
When I tell my 4 year old son that we need to run his brother to school, and he thinks that you literally mean running, in which situation he would get to ride in the jogging stroller, which he loves. But no, we took the car this morning :bigsmile:
When I got mad that I couldn't run because I had shin splints, not mad that I had a painful injury.
When MFP becomes the home screen of my web browser.
When I'm not afraid to tell someone what I weigh, even though I still have a long way to go. 237 right now!
When water is nearly the only source of liquid hydration used. (1 cup of coffee every morning, occasionally have a glass of milk, otherwise it's water and lots of it!)
When I'm willing to spend $120 on a pair of running shoes.
When clothes shopping consists of looking for sports bras and running pants.
When my husband offers to bring me home a Blizzard, and I say no thank you. And he brings one home for himself, and I don't ask for a bite.
When I switched from nonfat milk to 1% milk. Yes, fat in the diet is a good thing!
I could keep going, but these are the things that come easily to mind today!0 -
This is fun...I've got another one.
The night I became a buzz kill at a bar because I told my friends that I didn't want to drink that night because it was too many empty calories.0 -
When I started ordering my meals with a 'to go' box at restaraunts. I halve the portion that put in front of me and take the rest home for lunch the next day.0

I love reading all these responses while nodding and thinking, "me too!"
I noticed things have really changed when I drove by a fast food restaurant and could smell the food and felt sick. I was on my way to Zumba, another lifestyle change :happy:
Finding "clean eating" recipes and noticing healthier burger options and realizing that I don't even WANT to make healthy burgers!0 -

when I calculate the amount of calories my husband consumes while snacking late at night instead of joining in
when I spend more time on MFP than Facebook
when I knew what Macros, TDEE, BMR, and all the other lingo meant
I can't wait to do my weigh-in and measurement on Saturday morning to see how well I've done0 -
When I ate salad for Thanksgiving, & everyone else had Thanksgiving dinner.
However, I feel cursed around these skinny mini people who can be athletic & I am loaded with arthritis (before I was even fat).0 -
When I looked up the calories of my favorite winter lager and - appalled, only drank half the bottle and handed the rest to my SO to finish.0
