When you walk around the house with your laptop in the hands to make sure your Fitbit (that is on charge) continue to track your steps.
Ithis so much. I've been debating with myself on getting a laptop to replace my desktop when it finally dies and this may have just decided for me.
When you drink directly from the measuring cup to make sure not a drop is wasted.
I do this. I also drink water from it, after I come in from working out. I like to make sure I drink in 8 oz increments (so I can log it) so this makes it easy. I just leave it in the drainboard for quick access.robingmurphy wrote: »When you go a little over your calorie goal for the day, so you take the dog on an extra walk so you can log the extra exercise and be right at/slightly under your goal. I hate going over my goal by a little bit! It's one thing if I've committed to a higher calorie day and I know I'm going over by a few hundred. I just hate missing it by, say 50 calories.
I bet your dog is in his/her best shapeI too, hate going over my calorie goal by a little. Same as I hate missing my 10K Fitbit steps by a small margin. I'd rather be at 9000, then 9800.

You still have an unopened box of some of your favorite cookies that your mom brought 5 months ago because you just can't find room in your days for them (90 calories a cookie)... when 3 years ago the package would have been gone in 2 days.2

When you have all your stuff logged before you get out of the checkout lane at the grocery store. Or when you start singing "Another One Bites the Dust" to yourself when you log your last food for the day.1

You can't stop making mental notes about how characters in TV shows manage to stay so fit by eating so much junk (*cough* Dean Winchester *cough*) and doing so little exercise (like, spending so much time driving!).
Then you see a female character finally eat more than a salad and you think 'that makes more sense, she's so active, she must burn a lot of calories'.
Because Dean Winchester's sexiness makes him burn calories faster than us.2 -
Your kid assumes that mashed potatoes are mashed cauliflower.2

Ordering off the kid's menu at restaurants (even though your kid already ate/ doesn't eat solids yet) because that's the only meal on there that's below 1000 calories:)0

RIGHT???!!! I never top off my coffee anymore. I pour the cold leftovers into a decanter and make a whole new cup until the decanter amount is equal to a cup, then reheat, to log it easier0 -
When you now the lawn not because it's long but because it means less time on the treadmill later.1

You no longer understand how people can eat "normally" with no idea of the calorie content of what they're eating!2

You're behind someone in the checkout lane and mentally add up the calorie count of what they're buying.1

When I get annoyed when someone takes food off my plate because I LOGGED THOSE CALORIES AND I WANT THEM.3

When you take your food scale to your mom's place to weigh her ingredients are she cooks because she cooks this amazing dish without a recipe and you want to know exactly how many calories it contains
When you are appalled when people cook without a recipe weighed in grams and don't know the exact number of portions it will yield0 -
Not eating a snack because somewhere in the back of your mind you think: "and how am I going to log that?"
(and that's after three weeks of using mfp... what's it going to be like in a year?)0
