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?

When the 'diet' you were on in 1983 is back in vogue as the 'new Hollywood diet.' 

... You look up the calories for one Hershey's kiss (25), and decide it's not worth it...

... You can smell sugar from across the room ("Someone just ate a candy bar - I know it!")...

... You wake up smiling because today you get to have tea with a little honey in it...

(Obviously I have a sweet tooth!)

(Much earlier someone added, "When you can only eat half of your splurge meal" and I can SO relate to that!)

Not eating a drop of food for the day until you've carefully planned your day of meals and are sure your analysis will read A with balanced percetages of carbs, fats and protein.

 - When you count milk as a food, not a beverage (as far as I'm concerned, the only beverage is water!)

- When you weigh the bit of mayo left in your bowl after making chicken salad and deduct that from the amount you used (because you're not eating the scrapings!)

- When you have trouble eating your minimum daily intake because you ate so well during the day, but don't want to eat something like chocolate or ice cream to make it up.

- you mentally add your calories while eating dinner with family and have to keep yourself from leaving the table to log them into the computer

 lol- i totally do this! my colleagues find it odd to see me tapping about on my calculator at random intervals during the day, then logging it all in my little red diary.

i also fight the urge to carry around some kitchen scales with me wherever i go.

Ok, this is gross but happend to me this afternoon and I knew I HAD to add it to the thread at the risk of sounding mentally disturbed.

- when you accidently swallow an unknown insect while biking and your first thought is not "oh gross" but "calories and protein equivalents"

 

 I swear,it happend to me too

when you can tell someone the calorie content of any given meat depending on its cut
