    ...there are weights listed in grams on the frozen food in baggies in your freezer. Hmmm...do I have room for the 168 gram steak, or should I go with the 143?

    I always go with the most 1st because as I lose weight, I also lose my calorie allowance!

    You put calorie dense food on the shelves that you can't reach, without a stepladder; so that you have to work for it or so that if you're too lazy to deal with the stepladder, you'll substitute; for something healthier!

    You have an IDGAF non-logging day and you're still weighing stuff :huh:

    Me. Today. "I'm going to eat this whole tube of chips and I don't care!" Logs chips, only eats half because I can't bring myself to even eat at maintenance. Someone save me!

    Me! :) Oh so good not to feel a lonely freak :)

    When you go to a salad bar you create said salad in little piles of ingredients in the container so you can go home and weigh each and log before eating. Even though you've just worked out and are so ravenous you could also eat said container.

    I tend to use more than one container.

    Steak doesn't last that long around here ;) It mostly depends on what I eat earlier in the day.

    someone mistakes your dirty plate, for a clean 1 & puts it in the cupboard because you literally, cleaned your plate!

    When you secretly delight that your calorie count is actually much lower because you let your dog eat the last 1/2 teaspoon of your yogurt or banana.

    I give my baby a bite of every.thing.I.log. :wink:

    You know you're already at maintenance, so you make a light dinner (marinated chicken breast and veggies kebabs) and you get pissed at your husband because he pours more marinade over everything... and that's an extra 70 calories, probably...

    When you ask your husband to grill the last few chicken breasts... and he adds a ton of bbq sauce on them.

    So you end up putting them in the trash later because he didn't take them to work, and you wouldn't eat them. Sigh.

    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.

    You mean not everyone does this?:)

    When you keeping seeing endless "person above you" posts!

    Oh! Yeah, those person above you posts . . . What's with that? Is it common in forums like mfp's. I have not seen this meme anywhere else. But then I don't get around much. I'd really like it if someone could explain.

    When you think the most romantic thing in the world is when your husband cooks you dinner while you're not feeling good then brings you a sticky note with everything weighed out in grams so I don't have to get up to weigh your own food. True love right there! lol :D<3

    Ahhh it's so nice to hear I'm not alone with all my ridiculous that I do to maintain a deficit lol My family & friends think I'm weird. Except my husband... he gets me <3


    That's true love for sure!!

    When you're eating out with people and you saved calories all week for this meal. Someone makes a comment about your metabolism and you laugh because you don't realise they're being serious.

    You mentally calculate the calories in everybody's plate at your table during a dinner party
