    Hahahaha...brilliant post!!!!!

    the only thing i'd add is

    - you're gutted when you realise you've left your phone at home, not because you don't want to miss any calls or texts but because you won't be able to log your food the second after (or even before) you put it in your mouth!!

    ...when you log 0 calorie condiments just for the sodium content to be added into your diary...

    When you and your spouse make inside jokes about forum topics during daily communication.

    ...when you start competing with your MFP friends' calorie burns...
    ...when you weigh yourself after solid waste has passed so that it adds to the amount of pounds lost...
    ...when you refresh for status updates so much, you almost forget to eat...
    ...when you're refreshing status updates while you're eating...
    ...when you have your laptop in the kitchen as you're cooking...
    ...when there's a food scale next to your laptop like an add-on accessory...

    These are TOTALLY me. My laptop is in the kitchen with me the second I wake up in the morning while I make my breakfast and follows me again in the evening while I make my dinner. I don't have a smartphone so no app for me. Which means I don't eat out very often. WHEN/IF I do, I log it before I leave!! And the second I get home I am back on again in case I missed something!!!

    ...when you secretly use the MFP app to look up the amount of calories of your friends' meals when you're out with them...
    ...when you quietly start muttering healthy alternative ingredient replacements to your friends' meals...

    What do you mean quietly?!? I just flat out tell em! Hey, you know if you had gotten green beans instead of mashed potatoes it would have been much healthier for you, right? ROFL!
    I am still fairly new so I haven't met ALL the requirements for being an addict, but there is a huge YET at the end of that statement! I LOVE MFP!

    - You check MFP in the morning, before any other website.
    - Your friends on facebook are wondering where you've been.
    - You suspect that you're burning significant calories just from hitting the reload button.
    - You avoid eating something because you think it will be too complicated to log.
    - You have an amazing knack for estimating the calories in a plate just by looking at it.
    - You work out extra hard just so your "____ burned ____ calories" post will be impressive.
    - You do a happy dance when your friends lose weight (or gain, depending on goals).
    - Someone asks you how much you weigh in regular conversation and your answer is accurate to the tenth of a lb.
    - You've engaged in a passionate discussion exploring alternatives to mayonaisse.
    - You've engaged in an online flame-war around the topics of nutrition and exercise.
    - You roll your eyes when you see a "should I eat my exercise calories" post appear in recent activity (which is to say, several times a day)
    - You weigh yourself before and after daily activities, such as shaving, just to see if there was a difference.
    - During sex you find yourself wishing you wore your HRM.

    I'm sure ya'll can add to this list :bigsmile:


    Check, check. check, check........ Yep that about covers them. Yea I can cover every one of them. :tongue:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...this one was my favourite: "You roll your eyes when you see a "should I eat my exercise calories" post appear in recent activity (which is to say, several times a day)"...lol...soooooo true...the neverending debate that is on MFP over and over and over again...lol.

    LMAO to this one but I fear I can relate to most of them!

    Thanks for sharing!

    I've got another one ..... and I just did this....

    When you close out the previous nights diary under goal with all intentions of only having one beer ... but had more and wake up to adjust yesterdays diary because those kudos from your MFPals weren't warranted and you feel guilty!

    ... You find yourself frequently refreshing MFP and scrolling to your mailbox tab at the same time to make sure no one left a comment on your profile ...
    ... Your predominant reason for checking e-mail is to know what people think of your most recent update ...
    ... You find yourself bored if nothing's going on here and wondering what else to use the internet for ...
    ... It's 5 am and you've been intending to go to bed for the past four hours but you just ... can't ... stop ... pressing "refresh" and checking the new topics, or where your friends have posted ...

    Oh, hi asteroid. :p

    Edit:

    Oh, yeah, and ... you find yourself taking pictures of your latest meal to show to your friends ...
