    I have a couple...

    When you can add up calories of common foods in your head and be almost exactly right when you log it

    When friends and coworkers ask you how many calories various foods have before they eat them because you'll probably know.

    When you see commercials for the latest and greatest lose weight quick scam I mean pill and you just yell NO and dread the threads that will follow

    So true... I yell at those damn HCG commericals on the radio. They piss me off.

    I don't get why HCG is still on the radio, I could have swore I seen on the news one day it was banned by the FDA. but Sensa is having to pay off A Lot of people they falsely advertised to and they are still advertising the exact thing they were sued for on the radio. diet pills booooo.

    When you'd rather stay home instead of going to that awesome restaurant just because they don't give nutrition info.

    Good one!

    I wish some of the local mom & pop's would have their nutrition info posted.

    When you get a gold fish turkey sandwich kids meal at Disney World, so you can have an Mickey Soft Pretzel!! :wink:

    Also when you know where all the bathrooms are at Disney World (we have annual passes and go once or twice a month)!! :laugh:

    We have APs too! But we can only go twice a year since we live in WI. Boo!

    We just got back a few days ago. I spent a lot of time going from bathroom to bathroom. My husband was like "You JUST went!" Uh, yeah. You trying drinking a liter of water and only peeing once.

    you fight with people who say "muscle weights more than fat" (although most likely you know what they really mean)

    When you don't eat something because you are not sure what it's called or how to log it.

    You look at a 6 inch snowfall as a weight workout and strap on your HRM before starting to shovel.

    You know what the terms BMR, BMI, TDEE, NSV, HRM and 3-2-1 cake mean.

    When you see a newbie on the forum ask if 700 calories a day will let her/him loose 20 pounds in a month you roll your eyes.

    you save that snack for after midnight to stay in the green.

    As above. I enter what I'm *going to* eat before I do & then decide if I'm willing to invest the cals (or carbs or what-have-You) or make a different choice that will leave me more for later!

    I do that all the time.

    I like this thread. I see I'm not the only obsessed one out there :smile:

    When you can cut up your favourite foods and guess their weight to the gram before weighing them to check.

    When you ask a friend who shared an ethnic dish to write the name down for you, so you can find it in the database.

    P.S. It was there!

    Also, when you plan what you'll eat if you get up in the middle of the night feeling hungry.

    You know you are on MFP when... the employees at the grocery store fuss at you for putting something decadent in your cart, because you've repeatedly told them about MFP and your food diary :blushing: .

    When you judge people in the supermarket check out lane because of all the unhealthy stuff they're buying.

    No - when I envy the people in the supermarket check out lane because of all the yummy stuff they're buying. (have you ever wiped actual drool off your mouth at the sight of Oreo cookies in someone else's cart? cuz I sure have!)

    When you look at the calories before you look at the price on food at restaurants

    LOL, I do this
    you save that snack for after midnight to stay in the green.

    and this
    ...when you don't eat all week so that you can get hammered on the weekend.

    for me, it is saving up so that I can have a black and white sundae from dewars creamery
