Ditto. My toddler likes to "share". Meaning that I end up giving her some of MY calories . . . and yes, I do resent it, until she gives me her very cheeky grin

When you can't believe you threw out the #%$&ing box with the nutrition label, and the pudding baggie is just sitting there by itself in the cupboard. I mean who the hell does that?!?
When you're seriously considering buying office supplies for your portioning and logging. Labels, that cute stapler that I lost is making a come back, pens/sharpies and more

When you not only weigh the dish before you eat but also the utensil & both after as well, so that you don't count; the residue left on them because you didn't actually consume them.0

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
My husband runs and doesn't always trust his tracker. I can't tell you how many times I had to drive his run so he could figure out the correct mileage.

One morning I had my fitbit on the charger downstairs, and went upstairs without it. That evening, I asked my wife to walk up the stairs with my fitbit so I could get the credit back. She did it, but the look she gave me said a) "you are a lunatic" and b) "just this once".7

I read this post yesterday, realized that I'd not yet had to charge my FB, switched over to email, and saw I'd just received a message saying it needed to be charged. So I put it on the charger and took a nap.0 -
When you sometimes select your meal because it's something you ate recently or eat frequently and therefore it's in "Recent' or "Frequent" foods and is easy to enter.2

When you are about to go to bed, but you notice one of your Fitbit friends has just passed you, so you pace about the house until you are tops of the leader board again.
