Confession. Sometimes when I measure things

like salad dressing out, I am compelled to lick the measuring spoon, if I'm counting the calories of the stuff stuck to the spoon you can be damn sure I'm going to eat them.

    Haha I'm the same way! I always lick my plate clean. I counted it, I'm going to eat it! All of it :D

    I definitely do this. There is no way that extra peanut butter or hummus is going to get wasted.

    I might have licked the dressing off my plate this time too. It's damn good and 160 calories a serving!

    Ha ha, Rae. I've been known to use my finger to get the last little crumb.

    Peanut Butter is my weakness when it comes to this.

    I put my PB in a little container to take to work and I get funny looks in the lunch room as I'm licking the lid of the little tupperware container but damn it, i counted it, and i'm going to eat it.

    plus not eating it would be like Peanut Butter Abuse.

    I get made fun of at work for doing this. Of course I'm going to get every last drop of salad dressing if I'm counting it!

    If I count it, I eat it!!! Not really but I do lick the spoon. I over count on stuff sometimes, eat less than I counted.

    And why does yoplait have that annoying little shelf around the top of the container? It's hard to scoop out the last bits with your finger.

    There is tons of licking going on here...

    My husband licked the salad dressing off his plate at our wedding reception. I was embarrassed and amused at the same time.

    I am not part of the clean plate club, so I don't really do this very often. I have been known to lick the mixing blades when I am baking though.
