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.
When you decide that you want a burger and fries, and then feel ill afterwards. Not because you wanted to but because your body is totally rejecting the food.

- when you take an extra 45 minutes at the grocery store b/c you have to read all the labels
it takes me FOREVER on a grocery trip. other people actually hate going with me because i look at ingredients, nutritional content, weight and price to compare with other items of everything i buy.

When you start reciting how many calories everyone else is stuffing into their mugs. My sister hates me for it!
Yeah, I'd hate you for that too.
when you realize you replaced your afternoon sandwich with trailmix and yogurt.
When you have your first coke in a month and throw it out after a few sips because it tastes awful
when cottage cheese and yogurt tastes like the most wonderful, sugary thing in the world.
when you get fast food for the first time in years and realize how awful it is (not only the taste of the food but the sight of the food as well. looks like vomit to me!)
people look at you weird when you say one of your favorite things in the world is edamame.
when its no longer a diet, its a way of life!

i know what u mean! anything from fast food and i feel gross afterwards...
When you bring your own bread to the dining hall for your sandwich because you know its half as many calories as the bread they have there, which means you can have a whole sandwich, not an open-faced one.
When you count out your croutons because you only budgeted for 12. Then get mad when the dining hall changes the size and seasoning of the croutons, so you have to go look them up on calorie count...again!
When I no longer remember the taste of fried chicken.
Haha!
When a cup boiled of Brussels sprouts is a great treat.....
When a 2000 calorie day seems like a splurge....

you think about drinking something other than water and then decide not to because you are well on your way to a world record for how long it's been since you had anything but water. ugh.
I've been surviving on tea. It's my "exciting change" to water.....
When you open the freezer and go straight for the blueberries. Completely ignoring the ice cream.
When you know how much fiber is in every item in the house
Your favorite guilty pleasure is ranch cottage cheese dip that you make yourself with celery. Which is barely over 100kcal
Cereal and greek yogurt is your favorite morning food.
Apples are too sweet for dessert
your dog starts begging for lettuce
everyone you know asks you for advice on losing weight.
you could teach a class in nutrition.
your brain is better than an encyclopedia when it comes to knowing how many calories are in everything on the table.
you forget what fast food tastes like.
you get actual CRAVINGS for salad after a day or two of eating unhealthy.
you have pairs of jeans from all the sizes in between and are disgusted with how much money you spent on all the clothes that barely fit you long enough to get good use of it.
you sometimes wish you could go back to being a little kid when you ate whatever you wanted and got exercise from playing outside.
hah... I guess that means I've def been at this too long...

You got that right XD I don't even know why I try to track my fiber intake - I get like 40-50g every day regardless of what I try to eat haha
You get excited when fresh asparagus goes on sale!
When you as a carnivore eat more servings of fruits and vegetables on average the your vegetarian friends.

1. You have the Calorie Counter on your Blackberry
2. You feel uttery guilty when you have one more tablespoon of chocolate cool whip.
3. When you don't weigh yourself when its that time of the month (since you know... water weight!)
4. People come to your house and see nothing but Flaxseeds, nuts, and veggies.
5. You have a cheat day, and you feel like your going to vomit just because you can't handle cr@p food anymore.
6. You don't sweat when you work out, even though u have just burned 1000 cals and its on the highest resistance.
Will I lose weight if I eat the same food over and over?
You can lose weight despite eating the same food day-after-day as long as you eat fewer calories than you burn. In fact, eating the... Read more
