    when you cook a new recipe from scratch and then sit down with about 10 packages/containers around you and your computer to "enter a new recipe" .... then you meticulously divide said recipe into your portion sizes before eating
    lol...I do that all the time...
    I ask my son for his laptop and he automatically tells me "oh mom, u going to put your recipe information in MFP, let me log you in" he has it in his favorites list just for me...

    You google a restaurant's nutrition facts DAYS before you go. :D

    For example, I'm going to Benihana tuesday, and I'm already stressing about what I can afford to eat.


    Also, when you say you can't afford to eat something, you mean CALORIES, not money. :D

    Guilty..! :blushing:

    When you start wishing there was a chat feature on MFP because you're on it more than you are FB!

    ....When your co-workers think you're a nice guy (or girl) because you brought in treats for everyone... but in reality, you needed to get that crap out of your pantry because it was wreaking havoc on your log totals.

    OMG yes! Or, you have that friend who can eat everything he/she wants and never gain a single pound and they just mutter the words "I'm hungry." and your like "Oh, I have snacks you can have. 3rd cabinet on the left. Everything on the middle shelf is for grabs!" (Then you secretly glare at them envious that they can sit there and consume exactly 1,365 calories of crap. And you know you probably calculated those cals correctly.)

    Yes Ma'am! I have a small crap area on one of my shelves just for guests... otherwise I'd only be able to offer up my precious supplements and cardboard flavored snacks. But I'm a little selfish with my snacks and hate sharing them

    haha me too...one of my new staples that cures my sweet tooth are the fiber one oats and caramel or oats and strawberries. I will tell everyone "You're welcome to whatever, but I'll shank you for my fiber bars." (and my string cheese...that is instant death)

    ... You have to get a back-up battery for your iPhone
    ... You judge how good a real friend is by how tolerant they are of your calorie counting

    your 6 yr old child asks you "how many grams does that weigh?" and "how many calories did you burn today, Mommy?"

    I have another one.

    when you're pissed that your dad mowed the entire lawn without you because you could have used the exercise calories.
