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 much1 -

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.

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 you whip out a notebook and pen at the buffet to log all of your food choices.0

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 -
