When the words, "correlation vs causation???" make me want to slap a fool.1

When you can't sleep at night and find yourself reading MFP forums instead of your usual book+snack3

When you view all food as calorie spend. How much do I have to spend? Sitting in a resturant/cafe calculating your total spend, entering it in to your diary then when you ask for the bill your mind thinks veggie breakfast 194 + extra egg 93 + pot of tea 11 = 298 and the waitress says that's £6.50 please. You double take and think no £2.98. Then realise you never look at the price or take it in all food costs calorie spend.6

A friend of mine told me about her favourite ice cream and I said "ooooh...that's expensive!" Lol!7 -
When logging a meal you can't find in the database, you mentally "dissect" the different parts of the meal to more accurately log it... "there were 2 slices of tomato.... and about half a cucumber... 3 olives... 4 Craisins..."7

When you log before you eat6

You're glad that you didn't like the cookies, that you tried; so it's 1 less trigger food!2

No, I am, everyday! So you don't eat after 6 pm? I do!!! Ooooh so you lost all your weight because you're young. Wtf??!! When I try to explain basic cico they blank out. So I just take deep breath and end the conversation.
Sorry, that's completely offtopic, I needed to pour my frustration somewhere.
My mother in law is the same way, my wife and I have both lost weight on mpf and we tell her its easy as cico, then goes on to say it doesn't work and she couldn't do it because its too hard, and counting calories didn't work when she tried it. !#$@#$@#$ so frustrating, I get your pain, better to just converse about the weather.4 -
When you say 'screw it' and have pizza over the holiday weekend when you only have 100 cals left. Then you push those 3 pieces of pizza onto next week's diary so you can compensate for them.
Extra 720 cal deficit this week? Yay.6 -
..you finish the whole pizza because you only have gram measurements for the whole thing and you want to make sure you are logging accurately.8

You're making an at home face scrub with olive oil and brown sugar and you go to log the ingredients...7

You're ecstatic that your single serving food, was less calories; than the package states but then're angry because it was, a financial rip off!2

Absolutely - but then you never quite get round to writing the letter of complaint (too busy concentrating on your fitness goals!)
edited to manage typo1 -
When you exercise after you've already "complete diary"... Because you just can't bear to be over your calorie goal for the day4
-
You get mad at yourself for forgetting to weigh the dish when making a pie, even though you've carefully weighed everything. sigh.7

When Pop Tarts aren't individually wrapped & so you either avoid buying them, so you don't have to consume both (since it's impossible to unwrap it, in such a way; that the wrapping'll continue to be useful) or you have to sandwich baggie 1, which's inconvenient!5

When you think that apetamin is the best way to gain weight...................3
-
When your mum says she will save you some of the lasagna she is making, but you know she isnt weighing any ingredients and you cant have it. Even if it is the "good" mince from the butcher. I'm more worried about the other things in it lol3
