    If you lug four bags of groceries, over 300 pounds of free weights, door mounted chin up bar, push up stands, P90X DVDs, weight bands, food scale, digital floor scale, three jugs of protein powders, a weighted vest, an 8 pound medicine ball, your P90X workout book, a printer (to print workout sheets), and enough workout clothes to keep your routine intact on a two week business trip..you might just be addicted to MFP, P90X, and being fit and healthy in general!!!

    I even logged my burn for hauling all of that $H1T into my hotel...

    If one of your main goals in life is to log 365 straight days on MFP...you might be addicted to MFP!

    When you found your soulmate (like I did) on a diet and exercise site...you might be addicted to MFP!

    When you try to explain what an NSV is to a non-MFPer...you might be addicted to MFP!

    When you play with the new bar code scanner on the iPhone app just to see it work...you might be addicted to MFP...

    I could go on and on and on...LOL!!!

    When you're on a non-date and your MFP friends are still suggesting ways to sneak away (in case he's a creeper) well into the date, you might be addicted to MFP.

    *Thanks friends! I had to actually explain MFP to him and he (at first) thought it was something...um, hinky. Which....it can be ;) *

    When you can eyeball the weight of any food item to the tenth of a gram.

    When "cycling" is associated with calorie intake, instead of a recreational sport or leisure activity.

    When seeing the term "starvation mode" makes you cringe in severe testicular/ovarian pain.

    When you use http://shouldieatmyexercisecalories.com on sight as an automatic answer to any thread [un]deserving of The URL.

    When the forums quake when taso42 answers in his usual fashion.

    When the boards start invoking anubis609 to bless a thread with his presence.

    When nut butter threads become the topics of legend.

    When you log in your night of drinking at 5 AM, while having "the spins" laying in bed before passing out.

    You might be addicted to MFP when you, your husband, aunt, uncle, and two co-workers have joined because of you!

    You might be addicted to MFP if the first thing you do in the morning is check the news feeds and comment on people's successes and the last thing before bed is check the news feeds to comment successes!

    When you think you've been on MFP for 10 minutes and instead, 2 hours have gone by and you look down and your dog is giving you this crazy, glossy eyed, impatient mad look.

    When you smash your iphone and your main concern is how you will be able to access the MFP app and then you sign up to a ridiculous contract so you can afford a new one sooner and get the reassurance of having MFP in your pocket back - you might be addicted to MFP

    When you are at a restaurant and you order something with no cheese and dressing on the side, or you head out for a run in the rain and all you friends roll their eyes at you and you think "my mfp friends will understand" - you might be addicted to MFP

    YES! The lady at my local coffee shop now knows I am a counter and every day when I go in she fires "how much is in the muffin?", "how many in 2 poached eggs and a piece of toast?" at me, like I'm on a quiz show. I always know the answer so I think I - might be addicted to MFP :P
