    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.

    Totally.

    ...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:)

    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. B) lol Like that was any better.

    When I lick the yogurt off the pull off foil lid.

    Those are my calories and if I have to log them...I'm going to eat every last one of them.

    I do that!

    And when I have a steak I weigh it cooked, then weigh the stuff I trim off and subtract it

    Que Monty Python: "every calories sacred, every calories great. When a calorie's wasted, I get quite irate'"

    I will never be able to get that song out of my head now! :)

    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 :smile:

    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.

    (Me today! :s )

    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.html

    When you take everything out out a "take home" salad box and weigh it to be sure you are counting it right...

    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.

    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. B)

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

    When you take pictures of your plate at an unfamiliar restaurant so you can reconstruct the contents later.
