I ended up doing that multiple times a week and the other day had to get a banana peel out of trash because I forgot to weigh it.MsJulesRenee wrote: »When you pick a wrapper out of the garbage cause you forgot to scan it...I did that this morning. Actually done it several times in the past...

When you weigh out 50g of sweet and salty popcorn (250 cals, 15 g fat) for your treat while your husband (who has had twice that amount, not weighed) reaches in an steals a pinch of my popcorn. I gave him the death stare and yelled "Don't touch my popcorn! I just weighed out 50grams!" His response was okay, change it to 39 gram! (lol). I'm like GASP. No way, I want my 50g!!!3

when you weigh your cherries, eat them, and then weigh the leftover stems and seeds because the calories for the extra 5 grams is very important.7

...when you carefully cut and measure all of the vegetables and ingredients for a week's worth of salad lunches and then proceed to pack all accompanying dressings and other lunch items and label them (oh, and put in the day's snacks as well). AND log the week's lunches too:)3

or when you seriously log the "samples" you ate at Sam's or the Farmers Market6

I couldn't make myself weigh the cherry debris so I'd weigh out my portion and then add an extra cherry to account for the pits instead.
lol Like that was any better. 0 -

I have completely given up my "no cell phone" rule when I'm around other people. I always hated our society's obsession with their phones-and have never given into it. Until MFP. Logging was enough, but once I discovered the forums I officially became one of them.
Actually the reverse happened to me. Part of why I feel comfortable with logging my food now is because I use my phone a lot more often. The thought of pulling out my phone and someone seeing that i was keeping track of how many calories I was eating terrified me. Now I just don't give a *kitten*. Well I kinda still do, just not nearly as much 1 -
When your food scale breaks and you get irrationally sad and annoyed that you won't be able to log accurately for two days until Amazon delivers the new one you ordered.

Cherry/Olive pitter saved me this summer. I'm not into useless kitchen gadgets that collect dust, I use this all the time! Stem and pitt the cherry/olive, then weigh.
Not the exact one I have but close: bedbathandbeyond.com/1/1/42072-oxo-good-grips-cherry-olive-pitter.html0 -

Baha, I do that with my boyfriend's leftovers that he leaves me from his work lunches. I'll take apart the tacos and weigh the meat and cheese or gyro meat, whatever.0 -
When you can't make a cake, bake a pan of brownies, rasberry streusal tarts, cupcakes, casseroles, or a 16qt batch of italian sauce without weighing & recipe calculating every.single.ingredient pre-cooked and post-cooked and logging it into the recipe section of your food log. 4

when there's a stack of empty food wrappers next to the trash, because your partner didn't know which barcodes you needed to scan in for recipes before throwing them away.
when all your favorite recipes have grams scribbled in next to the pre-printed ingredients for quick prep work.6 -
