You know you have been dieting too long when...
When wasa crackers taste like a treat.
When the actual taste of real butter is a long lost memory.
When your fantasies no longer include Johnny Depp but instead, Little Debbie!
and yours?
Reason: 5/15/08: Stickied; 5/27/08: Unstickied.
--or not long enough
when you fall off the exercise ball & crack your noggin on something, and your first thought is: I bet that used a lot of calories!
you children are hilarious! I wish I knew what
1<333 means (I think I wish to know...)
and when the biggest part of the calories in your lunch is half the fragment of cheese you have been saving in the fridge for a week.
When foods too high in sugar or fat give you a headache for the rest of the day.
I think it's great that our bodies become adjusted to healthy foods and punish us for eating unhealthy foods... but man, after eating healthy for a month or two, it would be nice to "splurg" and eat one unhealthy meal without having a terrible headache for the rest of the day.
When you know the caloric content of every single item you eat and can recite them to your friends whenever they request your help trying to calculate how much they have eaten that day.
Psh. When just plain potato chips sound disgusting, greasy and salty.
Ughh. -shudders- My mom offered me potato chips and I gagged. They sound gross.
When prawn toast tastes sooo good on your treat day that you have to stop yourself from making suspect noises.
When noodles and tuna seems a bit decadent for a snack...

I <3 = I love (turn it sideways and it looks like a heart)
Andy! LOVE your idea..but I want you all to vote! (you can't fool me, I know you have read, and reread each one!)
SO, give me the post # and reference the particulars of your top favorites!
*thud* the sound of an idea hitting the empty floor.
When you have your DVD workouts memorized and KNOW exactly where rep mistakes are made...
For example, today I was doing a workout and the instructor says, "Give me 4 more!" and I'm just like, "Whatever dummy we're gonna do 6 more..."
I know exactly what to expect =P
When you not only talk back to the instructor on the exercise DVD (as previously mentioned)… but actually get ahead of the video and have to stop to let it catch up
When you actually count out the number of M&M’s you are “allowed” to eat
When you know that you can save 10 calories by eating three small peppermint patties throughout the day vs one large one
When someone offers you one of your favorite “bad” foods you actually say the words “no thank you, it’s just not worth it” as they are stuffing their mouth with it and staring at you
When the first thought in the morning is “I wonder how much I weigh today?” and the last thought at night is “I wonder what I’ll weigh tomorrow?”
When you splurge and have a piece of birthday cake at work... then proceed to have a giggle fit after getting your bra strap caught in your chair and almost falling out of it.
You know your coworker has been dieting too long the witness to this sugar-induced spazz-attack responds only with "I'm not supposed to have sugar either."
When you are at a party and someone gets up to get more drinks. They offer everyone wine coolers and beer and they offer you a protein bar.
*Yes this really happened and everyone laughed including me. I guess it is ok to be known as the healthy one. :) Of course they were kidding... I think.
u go to bed with thoughts of :
- reeses pieces
-chocolate
-lard
-chips
-bacon
-lard with mustard
-whale blubber
When you want veggies on a cheat day.
When fruit is considered a snack.
When you don’t think it’s weird to know the calorie count of foods.
When you have to buy new undies because the ones you own are all baggy from the weight you’ve lost!
When you go for a run at 8am because you want to go out for a meal in the evening (sad but true)
Looking at all the burgers and fries on the McDonald's website is on a par with porn...and you feel dirty and guilty looking at it.
And then you check all the nutritional values of all the burgers you just slobbered over.
...When you order a side salad with fat free dressing, get home, pour almost the entire packet over the salad, as you mouth is watering, and then realize it regular!....and throw the entire thing away, cause hey, that's a difference between 35 and 210 calories!
Funny enough, I read all of "Sybil" for my Psych final paper on a recumbent bike.

When you drop a spoonful of yogurt on your keyboard and the first thing you wonder is how many calories you just lost between the letters "o" and "p"... and then you hope that the yogurt didn't fry your keyboard so you can still get on CC....
I TOTALLY did that! Took forever to get the yogurt out from between the keys. Took some of the letters off, and lost the "k" for like a day because it bounced somewhere when I pryed it off.
When your calculator (and notepad) are permanently stored right next to your scale on your kitchen counter so you can calculatepartial portions and recipe calories without running upstairs to the computer.
-When you find yourself at the the same spot in the supermarket for the past 20 minutes, comparing calories
-When you would rather not have a sandwich than to eat white bread, which actually USED to be your favorite type
-When you start counting how many grapes you've eaten...one by one...
EDIT: One more!
-When you secretly sabotage your friends into eating more calories than you
-When you secretly chuckle inside every time your friends eat something very caloric
How can I make walking fun?
You have to find a way to make exercise fun or else you won't do it. If you walk indoors on a treadmill, I recommend moving outdoors into the fresh air... Read more
