Dieting Weirdo - I cannot be alone in this.....

What are the strangest dieting things that you do?

1. I eat out of measuring cups :wink: .

2. I carry my Salter digital food scale in my purse to restaurants :blushing: .

3. I have named my belly rolls and visualize their death as I exercise :laugh:

    I sometimes eat out of a measuring cup.

    I get excited by working out, or the chance to try a new work out.

    I too eat out of measuring cups! Since i cook my own meals, I have to still sometimes cook things like mash potatos or mac & cheese for the family.. so i picked up a set of baby spoons for tasting, instead of regular spoons!

    I also eat out of toddler plates.. looks like more on there!

    You are hilarious! it's true, dieting makes you do weird things. I order a pitcher of water for myself at restaurants now since I drink a lot of water with dinner and I hate having to keep bugging the waiter to refill my cup. lol

    I look for parking spaces furthest from a store entrance so I can get in an extra calorie burn from walking (bonus burn if I am carrying heavy items :-)

    [...]

    WHAT!?!?!?! If I did that I wouldn't get every last little bit of whatever I measured...I'd be left hungry. No, no...I use a bowl...a nice round bottom bowl. Preferably one big enough for me to get my head in and clean like my dog would! :laugh:
