man i miss this thread.
When you prioritize your binge XD I bought so much stuff today had some of it all and then forced self to give away all but the best. Im going to eat delicious food and be well above my calories, But if its not amazingly fantastic it can go somewhere else.
My friends have become my junk garbages, And iv recently been given 3 large protein shake containers they bought and didnt like.
So your in the zone when you become a health food garbage for your friend xD5 -

Pull a wrapper out of my jacket pocket last week and had to figure out what day it was from and if I logged it or not.

Vanilla almond butter sounds delicious!0 -
When you know your favorite bowl is 178 grams from memory because you've tared it so many times on the food scale.
When you don't have to worry about talking with your online friends about weight loss because all of them are from MFP.
When you describe food as "expensive" in terms of calories rather than monetary cost.
When people start referencing posts you made throughout the forums and you realize people actually recognize and remember you because you post so much.7 -
When you have notes like this scattered around the kitchen table:
45/170 ~ 100/X ~ X=377.75 -

When you count out how many pieces of pasta you’re putting in your bowl, because you weighed it dry and know how many pieces are in one serving (21 for Barilla rigatoni).
When, instead of asking you how big of a glass of wine you’d like, your spouse instead asks, “how many ounces?” while heading towards the food scale.
When you’re secretly happy that your restaurant dinner plans got canceled, because now you can have your own MFP-calculated, lower-calorie, lower-sodium meal at home.5 -
When you feel the panic rising once you realize your food scale is saying it’s “Lo” on battery.8

When your OH always asks if you've logged it before throwing the wrapper out
When eating at work is easy because you did all your weighing and logging before you left the house that morning. (Seriously, I got out of minuting a 2+ hour meeting this morning and just grabbed something pre-logged and dug in, ridiculously happy that it was already sorted.)2 -
Wow, several of you have well trained spouses/OH!0

Mine is on the way to becoming one! He joined MFP literally yesterday to start tracking his food and work on body reccomposition, and I’ve spent the last two days answering questions like ”what kind of yoghurt did we put in that food?” and ”how big was that yoghurt container?” (he did the cooking while I was cleaning the kitchen) and he even texted me at work about how he should log the restaurant lunch he had at work. What I wanted to ask was how tf would I know when his question was about logging ”nepalese food” without any specifics and I didn’t see even a picture of it to eyeball portion size. Instead, I politely instructed him to look for entries for rice, naan bread and any sauces he had separately. We have a food scale, maybe one day he’ll turn to that and reading the packaging instead of just asking me everything.
Clearly my husband at least thinks I’m in the zone.5
