    It's quite a comfort to know I'm not alone in this borderline OCD and nutty behavior.

    True story...hear on the car radio about a local mexican restaurant having a special on fish tacos. It's funny all over again. As soon as you get home, you make it your status update so all your friends can think it's funny again, too.

    HAHAHAHAH!!!

    You REALLY want to correct the 17 people in this thread who used the word THEN, when they should have used THAN, but you realize you'll get backlash for correcting them when "you know what i mean". and then a :grumble: face.

    Also - when MFP rivals your porn addiction, and you have both windows up at once, just in case something more important than porn happens on here.

    And i agree with the anonymous thing... i would never admit my porn addiction to anyone but you guys.... a bunch of random strangers I "know" really well.

    Or, when you see someone in public, and think, "Hey, i think that looks like (fill in the blank with mfp friend's name), but then you realize, "Oh, it can't be (name), because they're from Houston, and just posted a few minutes ago they're heading out for their run. There's no way she can be done and at Target already... Unless she's lying... I'd better ask her just in case."

    When you stand on top of a picnic table at a camping site...jumping up and down to get logged into your phone...so your consecutive day streak doesn't come to an end ;-)

    AND/OR

    When your ordering the jerk raspberry flatbread at the Greene Turtle and you tell them to hold the raspberry sauce. And you PROUDLY inform the waitress, "It's not worth the 350 calories."

    ha! The other night I ordered a ceaser steak wrap with the dressing on the side. My buddy was like "okkkaayyyy Sally" (Harry Met Sally)

    yup, guilty of the logging in to keep from breaking the days logged in streak!
    Also guilty of looking stuff up on MFP before ordering something when out to dinner or even before fixing myplate at home....I have even gotten up from the table to see what my calorie count was just so I could see if I would still be under if I had just one more......

    I am so bad about reading labels that my daughter went to a friends house and had the mom laughing because she read the label of her snack before she ate it complete with "oh my gosh you DON"T EVEN wanna know how many carbs and sugar are in these!" The mom and I are really close frineds so she totally gets it and called to tell me about it.

    you get on just to log your calories and three hours later you're still here :blushing:
    Or better yet, you finally log off after 3 hours, and realize that you never even got around to logging your calories.

    my 10-year old daughter knows ALL about MFP. In fact, when she's with me, SHE'S usually the one talking to my friends on my wall.... smh.

    Ya. It was a few weeks ago, but, she updated a couple of my statuses one night. You would have known it was her, though. She said things like "mommy said..." or "I Hopey..." The people she talked to knew. She was just being silly with my phone.

    Checking out MFP on your mobile device every now and then, posting support messages to each and everyone of your group lol :smile: A very long list!

    You think to yourself I will just have a sneaky little bar of something yummy and then resolve that you would have to log it so it's not worth it!

    I know! I was actually thinking about skipping the stuffing at Thanksgiving dinner because I don't know how many calories it has & I won't know how to log it!

    When you feel closer to your MFP friends than your real life friends, because you have fitness in common and all your other friends want to go eat fast food.
  • sandrinamsilva

    you log in drive thru and drive away deciding the calories aren't worth it

    I have done this

    when you spend the time you should be spending working out, reading threads and posting comments...

    Amen! And somehow justifying that reading about fitness equates to actually taking part in fitness...

    I have done this
    One day I went to TWO different drive thru's. Ended up with nothing. I argue with McDonalds people all the time about Sugar Free vanilla syrup.

    You could finish remodeling the basement because you are unemployed, but have still made no progress on either endeavor.

    Yep, both of these.

    Or, when you were as sad as you were happy that you finally, after 3 months, got 2 jobs within the same week. Happy because you will have money, but sad because you will miss a lot on MFP :laugh:

    You guys are all making me feel a bit better!

    I know of a healthy stuffing that was in one of my Hungry Girl books. If you want it, let me know. It lists serving sizes and nutrion facts, too.
