You know that semen has not only calories but nutritional value
You wear your heart rate monitor to do everything just for fun. But only log actual exercise.

When you know exactally how much you weigh , not that number you pretend you have been for the past 10 years.
This - at the doctor's yesterday I was asked how much I weighed and told them down to the last 100grams!! The nurse looked at me as though I was mad!0 -
When you're laying in bed waiting to fall asleep and you catch yourself doing crunches.0

You sit outside a fast food restaurant for ten minutes with a laptop finding free wifi so you can look up the macros, then drive down the street to actually order it.
You carry a bag of about $50 of groceries around with you, because you spend so long at work and you do most of your cooking there.
You argue about a protein cabinet... yes.. devoting a whole cabinet to protein.
You go to a Subway, order a sandwich without half the normal stuff like cheese and sauces... just to put it on yourself at home (of course, to more precisely measure your macros).0 -
You do upper body circuits while nursing a leg injury...dang this one is too real right now...

You make oatmeal at 11pm cause you need to eat some calories and the crap in the cupboard does not appeal to you.0

LOL Love it.0 -
use a food scale so you get every gram of food and not one more.
you use a HRM so you can log the exact calories burned and not guestimate.
when you get a scale that tells you body fat, visceral fat, BMI, skeletal muscle, resting metabolism, body age, and body weight.0 -
I'm the one that never learned how to cook..Why would I, there are tons of restaurants to go eat at!
So,
I started cooking - breakfast, lunch and dinner (sometimes I have cereal) but still
I bought measuring cups and spoons
I look for healthy recipes0 -

.... When you have to wash your measuring cups and spoons daily
.... When you work out a couple times a week and you HAAAAATTTTEEEEE working out. Did I mention I really hate it?
.... When you want to tell EVERYONE about MFP!
.... When you cook 2 meals on some days so you can eat healthy and you pass up the delicious meal you made for your significant other (even though it looks delicious)
.... You stop being addicted to Pinterest but instead are addicted to MFP (a couple people said something similar but I hate to add it)
.... When you can't wait to reach your weigh date because you KNOW you've had a great week!0 -

-You are STARVING and the closest place is Mickey D's..you go in, stand around looking at the menu for 5 minutes before ordering a unsweet ice tea and then high tell it out of there to drive 15 miles to Subway to order your usual salad for lunch. (I know McD's has salad but I couldnt trust myself)
-You walk into subway and the artist asks you if you are going to have the usual salad today

...you get annoyed that the so-called "1 hour" exercise DVD really has a play time of 53 minutes and the actual program is only 40 minutes of workout + 5 minutes warm up/cool down/stretch.0
