You get irrationally annoyed if someone steals a morsel off your plate or some of the grated cheese you have carefully set aside. I already weighed that!!!! It's MINE!!!!!
I had to sit down and explain this to my boyfriend. "Listen honey. I no longer share stuff, ok? Please don't expect me to offer and please do not grab something if I don't".
By the same token, don't offer me stuff. I don't want a lick or a taste of anything that is not mine, EVER. I am surprised at how often this annoys people.36 -
When you know what you are eating the next day.. or at least some of it and log it the night before :P20

(this one is awkward, so if you are a prude look away now)
You wonder at the caloric implications of err.. certain bedroom activities...26 -

I weigh the water for my coffee, but I make mine in a French press and only make half a pot and it doesn't have any markings. I'm sort of bleary eyed in the morning. Weighing is easier than eyeballing it for me to get just the right amount of water to make the perfect cup. Yes, my one cup of coffee is big enough to take up half the French press.
My husband prefers to use the drip maker because he likes a whole pot and drinks a different kind of coffee than I do. Philistine.3 -

Last time we had steak, my poor fiance tried to toss my meat scraps before I'd weighed and subtracted them

YES YES YES YES!! My kids (3yo and 1.5yo) steal my food and my husband laughs while I sulk. I logged it and now I'm going to starve!6 -

When you get overly excited when you chop a hunk of say cucumber off for a snack before weighing it, put it on the scale and it read 100g even. I think I actually yell "YES!!!!" haha.
That I try to see how accurate my guesswork is before looking at the scale...hmmm looks like so and so many grams...okay, let's see!22 -

We were at Disney World and I about to hit my highest steps ever, 40,000 steps, by the time we got back the truck, I only had a few (can't remember) steps left, so I walked around the truck a few times to hit 40,000 steps, lol. My hubby laughed at me.
When peanut butter comes out exact amount of grams you need and yell, I am awesome, lol.11 -

Kinda feel like I'm from the dark ages without all the awesome tools available, but it's still science! LOL
Actually, that's how I found out how far it was to walk in my neighborhood. Just slightly over a mile, so I log it as one mile. My doxie loves going for walks, and until I got him, I never just walked around aimlessly! Now it's fun!1 -

I don't use a pedometer and have driven all the routes I take in my neighborhood to total the mileage. I know the exact length of every street.maggiemay530 wrote: »Anybody ever done this one?

When you go to a salad bar you create said salad in little piles of ingredients in the container so you can go home and weigh each and log before eating. Even though you've just worked out and are so ravenous you could also eat said container.5

When you click on the "complete this entry" button right after logging dinner so that you're not tempted to snack in the evening. (I'm too embarrassed to add a snack after I've finished logging for the day, and refuse to cheat, so it's cut out my evening nibbles entirely!)20
