    When you go on vacations and stress out because you have to eat out for 10 days and you have no idea what the nutrition info is.
    When the thought 'if only there was nutrition info available, it would be easier to choose' has crossed your mind at said restaurants.
    When you always set dishes on the scale in the kitchen, even if it's to make your kids something.
    When you leave ridiculously small amounts of ice cream/meat/cheese in the package because it won't fit your calories.

    Totally agree with 'DON'T YOU DARE TAKE SOMETHING OFF MY PLATE'/

    When you keep a kitchen scale in your kitchen AND another one on your desk at work.

    I work in multiple different healthcare facilities and have actually considered finding a decent portable one I can inconspicuously travel with since I can't just leave it on my desk! Otherwise I'd have to buy 4.

    You have an IDGAF non-logging day and you're still weighing stuff :huh:

    Or you go back the next day and log everything you can remember...

    You have an internal temper tantrum when dinner plans change because you prelogged.

    YES! This!

    One time husband and I had planned on dinner at this one local restaurant. I had gone online, looked at their menu, picked out what I wanted. Get to the place, it was closed for the evening due to private party. Grr.

    When you've decided what you are going to eat at the restaurant by using their website menu, only to find they no longer have the dish available, and every other non-fried or healthier option is made with ingredients that you are allergic to. Grrr!

    When you leave a measuring cup out for liquids (like milk for your cereal) for your housemates...and they just pour it in the bowl like "normal" people!

    Anybody ever done this one? My old pedometer is out of commission / don't have a fitbit, so on day 1 of walking I took the car on that exact route to get my mileage... I began to go a bit further and I counted each step in my head! (hey 100 steps is 100 steps!) Now I'm mainly just timing it & not worried about distance. Kinda feel like I'm from the dark ages without all the awesome tools available, but it's still science! LOL

    I have been there. Just ignored the stares I got.

    (this one is awkward, so if you are a prude look away now)

    You wonder at the caloric implications of err.. certain bedroom activities...

    I *may* have had this thought before. hehe ;)

    Indeed. Additionally, forgetting to wear your Fitbit seems like a tragedy of epic proportions.

    I get all twitchy when I forget mine! All those steps not accounted for.

    When you put a few pieces of rice back so that you can get exactly 100 grams.

    When you decide to have a little binge at night and not worry about logging it, but then log it the next day anyway so that it doesn't mess up your numbers.

    Yep!!! I love this thread, I'm like yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep ,yep lol
