1. When you eat standing up
2. When you eat off someone else's plate
3. When MFP has no listing for the restaraunt (that god, b/c I love those mom and pop, hole in the wall restaraunts)
4. When it is your birthday

Please, add your own!

    I know one more!

    I know someone who just passed away. Tomorrow we will be holding a Life Celebration in her honor. It's going to be a big cookout and lots of handmade food.

    Needless to say: I won't be counting my Calories tomorrow (Maybe I'll just eat standing up to make this two rules in one!)

    So mine is:

    When it is a life celebration.

    Bachelorette Party calories don't count. What happens at the bachelorette party stays at the bachelorette party, including the calories.

    Although sometimes the photos end up on Facebook.... :blushing:

    The celery you eat while eating buffalo wings, the negative calories in the celery take away the calories in the wings.

    When you eat past midnight bc you're a night owl but you don't count it on the next day bc it's not technically the next day yet...does that make sense?? LOL

    When you said, "when you eat standing up," that was funny. I was gonna say: when you eat the highest calorie food while you walk. Hahaa!!

    Or how about:

    When you devour all the fattening, juicy food in your dreams & wake up nibbling on the pillow.
    Stand upside down to eat.
    Trying samples at the mall.
    Sharing a meal.
    Special occasions (birthday, wedding, funeral...)
    Being spontaneous by trying a completely new food.

    Hahaa!! That's all I came up with.

    It made me sick to read. I can't douse my pancakes in syrup or butter. I just use like a tablespoon of syrup per like 2 pancakes!
