Obsessed

I totally agree. I can't imagine ever not doing this in the future. I often prelog items that are guaranteed items for the day, so that I can look at my ratios and make smarter lunch choices. I have to know what I am eating and what effect it will have on my day, before I eat it. If I don't like what it does to my log, I omit the item and pick something else. I watch my macros and ratios like a hawk. I love being aware of everything and its content. I can't believe I flew blind for so long, thinking something was healthly that wasn't, et cetria. I know I am obsessed, but I know it is a really good obsessed. Its the first, most basic step to ensuring this is an overall lifestyle change and health improvement. Being dedicated with logging is the best way for me personally to stay commmitted and successful.0

You know it's bad when your thinking of taking your slim line digital scales with you in your hand bag. Uh oh0

I love doing it. Its become part of my day. I check things out before i cook them so i can choose the healthiest option.0

Does anyone else feel absolutely obsessed with logging their foods?
I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with the logging of foods so much as I am with my weight loss. I'm really motivated to get it done and if I have to walk to gym at 2am I'll do it rather than miss it.0 -
I have moments where i'm obsessed with it. I'd say 95% of the time I have to log right before I eat something. But i find it keeps me honest and in check to I do what I gotta do. LOL must get healthy(skinny)0

I love, love love this site . this is the first time I've had to hold my self accountable for what i ate because its all in front of me. really makes me more aware of what i'm eating and always checking calories now before i even consider eating it.
^this^! :bigsmile:0 -
Yes!!! I am the same way and if I don't record my food I have a nagging feeling like I've forgotten something. I figure this is going to have to be a way of life for me from now on cuz its incredible the amount of "stuff" goes into my mouth if I don't record it. I love this site!0

my friends yell at me because I lie to my phone.. I don't log EVERYTHING... well, recently i have been.. so maybe I am...but when I started,meh.. i skipped stuff and figured if i was still losing, so what..0

I am 20 days in to my diet and I am already getting a feel for portion sizes and what I should and shouldn't be eating.
I don't feel like it is necessary for me to log every day, planning the next few meals. ahead is critical for me though.
I don't think I have ever been so organized with meal plans or given so much thought to food before0 -
I'm seriously obsessed!
I even dreamt about calories last night, honestly!
Though, I am far happier now I am in control of my eating habits than I was before so I don't mind too much.0 -
I have logged over 165 days in a row and I would be such a stressed out mess if I didn't. I would have never lost all the weight I did without this site, but yes somethings I feel like it a slight obsession.0

Yes!!! Omg I will prepare myself a meal and sit at the table and log it before I even have a bite! I count calories in my head before I decide what I am going to eat, yesterday at work the first thing I did when I got off my shift was log what I ate for lunch...I'm obsessed!!! I've been counting calories for three years and I find myself counting other peoples calories!0

Haha I love telling my boyfriend how many calories are in his food. He doesn't watch what he eats at all (he's 6 ft, 148 lbs, with the world's fastest metabolism) so his meals easily go over 1000 calories in one sitting.0 -
When I first started MFP back in February, I logged EVERYTHING. I have been a little lax with logging my food lately, but I am still losing. I am more obsessed with working out and I feel extremly guilty if I don't workout every single day. I love this site and I have learned so much from it.0

I'm pretty obsessed with it, I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks....I'll won't be able to log for a week, I'm already stressing about it.0
-
I can only do it one way. Totally committed to exercise, totally committed to what I eat. Obsessed no doubt. I am a calorie bore!0
-
I totally understand where you guys are coming from!! haha I think I'm obsessed as well. Ah well, the way I see it - I could be obsesed/addicted to much worse so if healthy eating and exercise are the only thing I'm doing good in my opinion! Good luck everyone!!0

I am totally obsessed with logging but it has taught me so much about my habits, weaknesses and strengths. Totally an obsession I can live with x0

i love logging everything. I was so far off with how many calories i THOUGHT i was eating during the day. I couldn't understand why I wasn't losing weight until I started logging everything and really realized I was not eating as great as I thought I was. Now I"m totally motivated to work out and burn those calories so that I can have a treat at the end of the day :-)0

I have to eat out a lot so I spend quite a bit of time researching online menus and dishes I might want to eat just so I can prelog and make everything work. Being able to use the app really takes the compulsion to the next level I think. Not a bad one, but one nonetheless.0
