    when after sex your spouse asks you if you're going to record it on your exercise log (actually was asked that the other night! - told him I consider it "bonus" and don't record it :laugh:)

    Or when you skip a workout and right before bed feel guilty and attack your spouse just so you can burn calories!

    I with everyone else... I don't even log into fb anymore. I find myself on here while at work, close the window as someone walks by and then pull it back open. I also agree with Fesse, I care more about my friends here on MFP than in RL. There is no judgement here and people aren't afraid to call out when you are slacking, these are true friends!

    You know your addicted to mfp when you set your watch at work for 30 minutes, just so you're not on MFP all morning!! Also you know your addicted to mfp when you're working out or running and think about how many calories your MFP's burned yesterday and push yourself harder!!:tongue:

    When you never log out and is it always up on your computer.

    I open MFP up in Chrome and leave it open. I do everything else in Firefox. I also check it on my phone if I'm out somewhere with nothing else to do (doctor's appointments and stuff).

    When you have the app on your phone and you type in every food ever minute you eat it even at work.

    I have to log it straight away else I forget what I've had!

    I live in Arkansas and though not as severe I share in your pain. What happened in Alabama was tragic. We are now fighting floods. You know it rained a lot when portions of Interstate I-40 has been closed for a week.

    I have only been here for a month and now have my first 2 day trip scheduled next week and am already figuring how to log my food. Taking the wife's laptop and staying at a wireless friendly motel is my goal.

    I am so happy to hear I am not the only one with this addiction while at work. I love Fridays because my supervisor is off and I have a little more freedom :laugh:

    I will add that sometimes I log on to log food and exercise and end up responding to messages, adding comments to threads, etc and log off and *whack* myself in the head because I meant to log the food...and then I log back on and log the food and exercise and then spend the next hour goofing on the forums...I don't have enough "real" people in my life supporting me on my journey...I gotta hang with the folks that know what I am going through. I work a lot and travel a lot, so the only thing I really have been doing with my free time during the week is workout, eat right, and hang on MFP. Weekends are another story...it is play time with the kiddies (plus mow that pesky lawn).

    This made me laugh - are you sure you're not talking about me?

    lol That's me. My alarm goes off at 5:45 am. I call my daughter to make sure she's awake and getting ready for school. Then I lie there for an hour checking MFP on my Droid.

    ... you won't eat something unless you can find it in the database (or you can add it to the database)
    ... you are telling everyone you know who even so much as mentions weight loss, fitness goals etc. about "this great site" you use.
    ... you are constantly sneaking peeks at the site when you should be doing other things
    ... you start wondering how many calories you might be burning typing your responses on the message boards and laughing at the posts

    When you start telling your RL family and friends about your MFP friends and they look at you like you are crazy because you really dont 'know' these people :embarassed:
