You do math in your head when you are offered food
You haven't been in an elevator in months
You do ab contractions while in a meeting
You put on sneakers (not slippers) when you wake up in the morning
Your work starts a 9 AM but you wake up at 5 AM
You have a water bottle near you as you read this
You know the calorie count in most common foods
You have used the words glucose and fructose in casual conversation
You have to slow yourself down when walking with normal people
You have a fitness app (MFP maybe) on your smart phone that you use more than Facebook
You have used baby powder on yourself
When you go for checkup you anticipate the moment when the doctor looks at your vitals and is impressed
Feel free to share you own.

Someone says a food is yummy and your answer is "yes and it's only got ... calories and ...grams of protein/carbs/fat"
People tell you you walk fast and you randomly give them an estimate of mph your walking.
You take food scales on holiday much to the horror of your family.
The list of apps in your phone contains pedometers, timers, mfp, macro counters, and not much else.
You speak a language no one else seems understand.

You always say no to the free starbucks your employer offers each week because you refuse to waste 400+ of your daily calories.0

You walk around your kitchen at the end of the day till you hit 10,000 steps
You start to panic when you run out of protien powder
Cant just run 8.5 km, you add on that extra 1.5 to make a clean 10 km run.
You pee every 20 min from all the water you are drinking during the day.
Your running shoes are the most expensive pair of shoes you own0 -

Do you mean a holiday as in Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. or holiday as in vacation? Either way, that's pretty hardcore. You have me beat there. [/quote]

Yes and yes! My running shoes are by FAR my most expensive. Some of my workout clothes are more expensive than my fancy clothes as well.
Also, you start to view the weight everything (children, groceries, packages) in numbers of plates instead of pounds0 -
I've definitely never used the words glucose or fructose in any casual conversation, because I'm not a diabetic, so who cares? Give me all the sugar...as long as it fits into my carb goal.
Here's a few...
Your first thought when you feel a cold coming on isn't that you'll miss work, get other people sick, or be miserable for a week. It's, "oh no, what if I can't work out?" Same goes for any other health condition, medical procedure, or injury.
You have a mini panic attack when you realize you're running low on Quest bars.
You spend more of your day thinking about working out and eating than work.
You pre-log your meals for the day (or in my case, the week or even month) and get really excited when you hit your macros perfectly.
It amazes and annoys you that most people are so clueless about fitness and nutrition, and you secretly laugh at friends and co-workers who talk about how bad carbs are for you and how they're thinking about going paleo/raw/gluten-free/etc. in order to lose weight.0 -

Yes! Getting paid to work out or talk about working out or food would be the sweetest gig ever. But they're paid crap money, which pretty much eliminates the chance I'd ever actually try to break into the field.
There's always the dream of being a fitness YouTuber. Those lucky jerks seem to be paid awfully well.0 -
Stay in bed, eat bacon and drink cream.0
