    When you give your dog a little extra scoop of food so that he can eat back his exercise calories after taking a jog with you....



    LOL!

    I just started yesterday and I am already logging stuff before I eat it to see where I will be in 5 weeks lol. It really makes you think twice and luckily I love water, your bathroom becomes your new best friend lol.:flowerforyou:

    You know how many calories most of your favorite places and can make split decisions of what to get if going out to lunch or dinner is sprung on you. You already know how many calories you had set for that meal and what you could get to be close to that.

    We all have so much in common lol

    When your co-workers have brought a huge container of cookies, and the first thing you do is look at the caloric content of one cookie and figure out that 7 cookies equal ALL THE CALORIES FOR ONE DAY, put them down, and walk away.

    Agree!!! just did that this morning, in fact!

    Today i totally stuffed an empty protein bar wrapper in my pocket so i could add it to my food log when I got home...



    I do this ALL the time..my handbag/pockets has food labels inside that I have cut or torn off and saved so I can log it properly when I get home *hangs head in shame*

    I take pictures of it, then log later. No need to carry wrappers if I have the picture ;)

    Know what bump means and do it because the screen on your phone is too small to read all the comments

    You dig through the garbage to find the exact name of the food you just ate.

    I just did this last night, except I actually went to the outside garbage can in the garage, not just the one in the kitchen. Haha.

    But did you count your steps to the garbage, log the calories, and then eat them back?

    Oh, God, yes! I'm ashamed to admit it... but yes.

    Also, my contribution: When you make sure you suck EVERY last crumb/drop out of that package, cuz you paid for those calories, dammit!


    LOL! I just increased my water this week (yeah, I know it's about time). I hear you on this one!
    yes to both of these!!

    before you go anywhere outside of your house/work, you say, do i need to pee before i go? will i make it the 10/20/30 or so minutes outside without need to find a bush on the side of the road? will there be toilets where i am going? - this is so true for me ever since one evening when i drank 3 pints of water around dinner, peed twice in the following half hour without drinking anything else, walked to Tescos and had to hop about the aisles looking for someone who worked there to see if there were any toilets! thank god there was one down on parking level or i never would have survived! and then i needed to go once more when i got home. :laugh:

    its gotten to the point where its a running joke with my roommate. when i excuse myself from the kitchen for a minute she always knows. "going to pee jade?" "you know me so well....:blushing: "

    When people around you either start thinking about a diet because it's all you ever talk about when you're around them, or they purposely try to sabotage you by eating your favorite foods right in front of you

    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.

    OH YEAH! This weekend I had so much work to catch up on had to let my husband mow the back yard and I was so jealous! At least I got to mow the front and the vacant house next door first ! Love those lawnmower calories!

    LOL! I'm glad I'm not the only one addicted to mowing lawn. I have a lawn tractor, but it's broken. I am almost thinking of NOT fixing it, since mowing is my only 1000+ calorie workout!

    When you research your restaurant choice to find out what you're going to eat before you go. I have my order at Moe's memorized.

    I do that all the time!

    I've done that too.

    I've done the above for the last two days! I was really shocked when I saw that others were as well.

    Logging food on your phone...whilst eating it :blushing:

    LMAO! that drives my family crazy. i'll be sitting at the dinner table, destroying food with my face and once i've logged it in and figured out how much i've already eaten... the fork drops, the leftovers are rationed out between my husband and my son and the plate goes into the sink. hahaha.

    You see any number and relate it to calories.

    If I see a number like 1066 or 1492 I don't see history, I see calories!

    When you are at work and you'd rather be on MFP all day and aren't as productive as you should be. The updates are more interesting than your own work anyway! Lol
