    You forgot "don't log <bag of candy / half stick of butter / cup of dog food> because my MFP friends might yell at me".

    Oh NONONO! Lying to our friends is the kind where YOU KNOW YOU ARE LYING! That's not the right kind of lying! If you KNOW you are lying you'll eventually start to feel guilty and shamed and responsible then start not lying.

    We want to avoid that kind of lying and stick to the kind where we can be pompous and good and then post on MFP moaning the fact we can't get past our plateau/1200 cal/genetics and can straight faced ignore basic thermodynamics.

    @desweds I stand corrected. I feel so guilty not even being able to lie correctly. This MFP thing is hard.

    Lol the bacon grease!!! I seriously had an argument with myself about if I could away with not counting the bacon grease to cook my hash browns in since I already counted the bacon. I was so sad to pour out the grease and use a spray of Pam instead lol 1 quick spray not 1/3 of the can lol

    Don't do that! Cook those eggs in the grease - just count the calories is all.

    @desweds how did you know??? I am lmao .
    Verified, schmerified? Too true. Depending on whether I am within calories for the day or going overboard I will chose one items or another in the DB :D

    Another one:
    Tasting doesn't have calories. I only dipped my finger once, or twice... or "tasted" with a serving spoon; so its not THAT many calories!

    Lol Funny but hey I do a lot of those and still lose weight. It is about knowing your comfort zone, being honest with yourself and knowing your body. I know when I have been extra active, that I lose weight on more calories than most people my size and that the 100calories of oil I used are nothing compared to the entire 18" pizza I had a few days before lol so I feel it isnt that necessary sometimes to log it. It depends on my mood. :) If it works for me, that's what matters to me. Also, I have found I actually do measure almost everything perfectly by eye. I checked with a scale. I did think I could eat a lot less pasta though so I was kind of missing out before lol

    If you do all those things, then isn't that not being honest with yourself? Which was kind of the whole point of the post?
