    - Anything more then 'no sugar added' foods become to sweet

    - You can discuss workouts and nutrition with your brother in the Army, but you're not enlisted at at all...

    - Greek yogurt becomes a staple instead of sour cream

    - Soda makes you ill and hell

    - People can physically see your efforts.

    You approach a random stranger in the locker room to take a picture of your back side for your "progress pics" portfolio. Yes, I did that this week! :laugh:

    You run 4 miles to the gym and dont track it

    You're constantly trying to find an exercise you're seriously inefficient at

    If you get dessert and it doesnt tastecompletely mind-blowingly amazing - you hand tit to a stranger- cause youre not wasting your calories on mediocre cheesecake.

    You think of calories as currency and do what you need to do to get more to spend, and decide what is and isnt worth spending them on.

    You start getting really quick at multiplication of decimals in your head, thanks to serving size calculations on labels

    People calling you an obsessed elitest fitness snob.... doest bother you.

    You are constantly trying new foods and you will spend hours in the kitchen trying to recreate something you saw on a food mag cover.

    You are so proud of what you eat, you have a whole album on facebook full of pictres of your own food, with flattering lighting and garnishes. Yes... you pretend you are on Top Chef... every time you cook.

    If you get back to the gym lockerroom after your workout, and you arent walking like you just got gangbanged, you turn around and do a couple more sets.

    Being soaked through with sweat is a serious turn-on.

    You take sexy pictures of your own body in the morning and watch all the changes slowly happening.

    You know you're awesome.

    ...your husband leaves you after 17 years, but you don't skip one day of eating right or miss a single workout.

    When you get up at 4 o'clock to do circuit training and tabata intervals in the living room for 20-30 minutes every morning without fail before going to work.....then going to the gym after work.

    ...you throw half a sheet of perfectly delicious cake down the garbage disposal instead of stuffing it in the back of the freezer to be devoured in a moment of weakness

    ...you develop an odd craving for green tea instead of snickers bars

    ...you begin to dream about salads instead of George Clooney

    ...you're more addicted to MFP than you are to Twitter

    ...you know the difference between a small, medium and large apple


    Feel free to add to this list!! Kind of a fun way to add some humor to our weight loss journey!

    .... you measure everything you eat to make sure it is exactly one serving.

    .... you get a pedomoter/ fitbit/ or other App to find out exactly how many calories that walk just burned.

    .... Water becomes the main drink in the house replacing pop and KoolAid

    When facebook ads have figured out that you're a fitness freak and starts changing their ads accordingly.

    Many foods now taste too sweet or too salty.

    Salads can be delicious.

    You get an epic cheat meal at a restaurant and not only are you a little disappointed that that kind of food just doesn't taste as good as it used to, but you feel like your stomach may fall right out of your butt afterward.

    Most of the things you want for Christmas are fitness related.

    ^^ Yes this, for sure. ^^

    When you wake up before everyone else on the weekend and head to the gym in 21 degree weather.

    I AGREE WITH FAST FOOD MAKING YOU NAUSEOUS. I had fast food the past couple of days bec my mom forgot to buy groceries :(( I need to cleanse.

    ... you go home early to workout instead of choosing to join your friends eating junk after class (my friends always get fast food lol)
    ...tupperware is your bestfriend, you pack your own lunch
    ...crave water when you're thirsty and not soda, occasionally fruit juices
    ...you push yourself to workout even if you're feeling lazy
    ...you walk instead of commute/drive
    ...you need a new wardrobe because your shirts are falling off your shoulders

    You complete your diary and realize you are 13 calories over your goal. You promptly get on floor and do 10 sit ups.
