    Measuring out your wine in a measuring jug before pouring it into the glass...must get every last drop.

    Wasting precious drops! Drink it straight from the measuring cup.

    You have a pair of headphones in your backpack, purse, gym bag, and coat pocket, because you know that you simply cannot workout without them.

    Measuring 1.5 ounces of water, pouring it into a glass, marking the glass, then pouring vodka in to the mark . . . must get every drop for that Bloody Mary!! :D

    When you are feeding the cat and grab your phone to scan the bar code. I stopped in time but I wonder what it would have said.

    Hahah ok. Now I have to know... is it in the system? :smiley:

    When your husband asks for a bite of your food, you say yes, but you try to measure the portion that's now gone.

    When you bring the food scale out to a place like Panda Express because you know estimating the size of portions is totally useless.

    Or you could just pour the vodka first...

    The database is down and you're like OMG HOW AM I GOING TO KNOW HOW MUCH TO EAT NOW, and annoyed that you can't prelog dinner.

    When you see someone with one of those huge fountain drinks from the gas station and can't believe you used to drink those before mfp. Now you couldn't imagine drinking that many calories.

    When your family thinks you're crazy for "taking pictures" of all your food lol.

    When you are reading this forum and taking notes of certain tips to help with reaching goals lol.

    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 yield

    I took my scale to my moms for dinner Sunday, she was like why did you bring that, I said to weigh my meat, she was like I have one here. Then... I left it there by accident! Thankfully my brother brought it to me the next morning.

    When you have a notebook next to your digital scale with all kinds of mathematical equations written on it.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I used to use the notepads from hotels and I finally caved and bought a little 3x5 wire bound notebook

    I was doing that until my husband complained about the notes. Now I have a small whiteboard with magnets attached to it so it's always on the fridge. It means I can also write passive-aggressive notes to him when he eats my yoghurt.

    I just said yesterday that I was going to do this! Lol. Whiteboard for the weights of serving sizes of the stuff cooked in the fridge just seems oh so right!

    When you weight yourself three times in a row to make sure the loss is real and the digital scale isn't malfunctioning.

    When it takes twice as long in the grocery checkout because the checker doesn't know the codes for all the weird fruits and vegetables in your cart.

    When a friend asked you to open packaging and the first thing you do is look for the barcode so you can open it in such a way, the barcode can still be scanned with the app. Even though the friend in question has never even heard of MFP. And doing this every damn time someone asks me to open things.

    I have also cut the barcode out of the box of my favourite snack multi-pack as the individual wrappers are just clear cellophane. That way I can scan the barcode if I eat the snack in my bag while at uni as it is the fastest way. The lecturer gave me very weird look when I took it out my pencil case and scanned it mid-lecture.

    Having to wait until you know that your food scale, is bone dry; after cleaning it & before using it because you don't want any moisture, to potentially add a gram; to what you weigh next. Even though you're starving!
