Signs you’ve been here over 30 days....

You fight with your husband at a birthday dinner celebration because you have figured out EXACTLY what you are going to eat and worked out to have those calories...and he orders cheese fries! (The devil's creation!)

Ooooh and in the middle of the grocery store you're explaining to your 5 year old why you simply cannot buy the kind of popcorn HE wants because there are too many calories, fat and salt! Mind you...I'm showing him this with the nutritional facts!

^^^ This! Except, the "5-year old" is my husband. The man cannot wrap his mind around the fact that even if it's healthier it still can taste good. I can get him to eat something and he will love it until he sees the box and realizes it's lower calorie/healthy food. He also rolls his eyes at me when we cook dinner and I'm scanning all the ingredients with my MFP app. I make him keep everything separate so I can portion it myself. Yeah...

Also, definitely get tired of the "too scared to eat back exercise calories" and the "is it ok to eat more than 1,000 calories??????" posts.

And I talk about my MFP friends as if I just had lunch with them. Hubby is always confused about who I'm talking about. It makes me laugh. I love this website!

:laugh:

Signs you’ve been here over 30 days....


1) You’re consistently humming “Zumba” songs without even knowing.
2) Grocery shopping takes twice as long, because you’re reading labels.
3) You feel like you’re pregnant again, because you’re peeing with all the water you’re drinking.
4) You catch yourself doing butt lifts at the checkout.
5) You have names for your dumbbells.
6) You talk to your TV workout instructor.
7) Eating out is a thing of the past.
8) Sorry honey, not tonight, I have to exercise.
9) You carry a water bottle with you everywhere.
10) You don’t catch your Facebook or Twitter accounts anymore.


Everyone add on……

Hmmm....I guess since I identify with none of those, I don't belong here.

When my husband asks "Babe, I'm running to the store! Do you have enough calories left for a snack if I get you something?" (Cracks me up everytime)

Haha! My boyfriend says that all the time

You carefully record the calories from eating a breath mint without thinking twice.

You obsess guiltily over the possibility that you had 1.75 servings of something for breakfast when you only recorded 1.5.

You procrastinate by reading the MFP forum until you stumble across a post about working out that encourages you to go do your own workout.

You often know what you will weigh to the ounce before you get on the scale in the morning because of what you ate the day before, how much water you drank, and the workout you did.

If you see another TOM question, you think you might scream. Then you wonder if screaming burns calories.

How about......i'm at the office not getting work done because these posts are way too funny and addicting to pull myself from MFP!!!!

THIS! Right now!

My stories start with "the other day on mfp"

i will claim this one...

signs you've been here too long...Binary's scary clown face doesn't freak you out anymore...

...until you notice the white make up smudges outside your bedroom window.

oh, no....that just excites me.

I don't live that far from you. Just sayin.

i am well aware.

How about......i'm at the office not getting work done because these posts are way too funny and addicting to pull myself from MFP!!!!

Yes...right at this very moment!

How about:

Your acid reflux is even worse these days bc you're not eating bread/pasta/etc,
and instead you're eating meals with lots of tomato/onion/oranges/etc,
that irritate the crap out of your acid reflux... :grumble:

but it's WORTH it. :laugh:

u look at sweets and think is it worth it?
u log everything u are eating BEFORE you eat it
housework is less of a chore and more of a i just burned more cals!
u set the alarm before you have to get up to workout and if u dont you dont have the energy to get thru the day

^^^^^^^^ Definitely this!!!!

When your three yr old daughter is sitting next to you and says " I'm watching calories with mama", like it's a movie.

Also when you notice your shopping cart looks completely different because their isn't junk food in there any more. Yay!!

:laugh: Or when your 3 yr old is constantly asking how many calories you've burned since buying your new HRM! LOL

When your 4yr old tells anyone that will listen that shes given up juice because it has too much sugar and empty calories. Gotta love her. :smooched:

when you are so obsessed with losing your log in days you log in even when you're almost 10,000 miles from home (not kidding!) with just a message so you don't go back to zero! I will NOT go back to zero!

I definitely agree with starting stories with "this funny thing happened to someone on MFP the other day"
"this person on MFP"
"my MFP mate said...."

and you tell your MFP peeps more than you would your close friends. eg, you pooping activities and what colour, regularity and size etc. and yet you wouldn't dare tell someone on the bus that!

Also when you get home from the gym you tell your spouse how far/how many cals burned/ and then proceed to show him your soaking wet shirt and sports bra and get disappointed that he is not giddy with the same excitement you are!

This is so me!

...my laundry is always "in process" and full of sweats, sports bras and socks...

So funny because it's so true!
I'm also happy to see I'm not losing my mind as I too have talked back to people in workout DVDs (unless we're all losing our minds!).
