You Know You Are Obsessed With CC When.......... (healthy obsession of course)
You Know You Are Obsessed With CC When.......
1. You buy groceries that you know are in the CC food database already.
2. Your conversations with friends about food includes lines such as "I had 130 grams of yogurt with 1/4 cup granola and 12 oz of water this morning.
3. You almost don't want to use Dance Dance Revolution as an exercise because you're not sure what to log it as in the database (but it's sooooo fun!).
4. You have no problem avoiding most fast food anymore because it's just plain disgusting!!! (and you want to eat at least two other meals today)
5. You're at a restaurant for breakfast and you ask the server how many eggs were in your omelet and what size they were.
6. You've googled *enter food brand/restaurant here* Nutritional Information more times than you can remember.
7. You're getting really good at math. I mean REALLY good.
8. You get Hungry Girl's daily emails now. And use them!
9. You log into CC at work more times than you'd like to admit (I'm doing this right now!!).
10.................any others?
Reason: Moved to the Lounge since this is a fun topic and will get greater response there. (CC Plus is more for technical issues) Thanks!
2. You recommend it to all your friends, even people you just met (who might not appreciate the connotation that they might have a weight issue :)
3. Your 8 yr old son tells your friends "Mom was on CC last night and when she posted her analyis in her journal I noticed her protein was low" (YES, this has happened to me...he is far too observant/nosy sometimes :)
4. Your boss asks you to check the calories in something when he isn't really supposed to know you are logged into CC
This is fun.......
The first thing you do after waking up and the last thing you do before going to bed is check the site to see if your friends are on.
Before going to a resturant you post a poll to see what other members would choose to eat.
More members on c-c know your weight than the members of your own family.
...when you check your cc mailbox more than you check your real inbox.
hoho! this is a funny thread. :D
Before you eat anything, you think about how you'll figure out the cals if it's not in the database already.
You see something to eat and avoid it for no other reason than you don't feel like updating your food log.
1. Words like "BMR" and "calorie intake" and "expenditure" become part of your daily conversation, causing other people to stare at you blankly. 
2. You can't binge properly anymore, because you log everything, and you can't bear the thought of what that chocolate is going to do to your eat meter. (This happened last night. I really wanted to be bad, but everything had such high calories, I settled for an extra serving of almonds and a small glass of wine, and still ended up under maintenance.)
And I too have been guilty of buying food I know are in the database. I also give blatant preference to items I've already tagged.
When you start doing rough estimates for the stats of people around you...and then getting them to follow them.
Hmmm, I'm 5'5", female, 33, active, you're 6' male, active, 30s...Add 300 for male, another 300 for height, and another 200 for male active = you should be eating 800 more calories a day than I do in order to LOSE weight...and you're within about 200 calories on the calculations.
Evaluate potential boyfriends on whether or not they would object if you wore a heart rate monitor in the bedroom. Discard any that wouldn't surpass the CC calorie burn for sexual activity.
You know you are addicted when you run to your computer still chewing the last bite of the meal you just ate to log it in. Sometimes you might even log it in before you have actually eaten it !
Or..you come home from the gym and log your activities in BEFORE you hit the shower.
And, I do log ahead of time...
....and buy groceries for my tagged items...
*****Ahem! My name is DAIZY and I am ADDICTED to CC.****
-You check your BMI often, just to see if it's changed!
-You calculate your daily burn just to see the numbers.
-People think you have OCD because you're ALWAYS spaced out and counting under your breath when you get the menu at restaurants.
-You favor prepacked food just for the nutrition label.
-You ONLY cook with very simple ingredients, or ingredients with nutrition labels.
-You mentally calculate the calories in the meals of everyone else around you.
-You've complimented someone on what a lowcalorie/highprotein/highfiber/lowsodium meal they are having.
-And then tried to explain it.
-And then converted someone to a calorie counter.
-And then shown them the website and convinced them to join.
1) You become so aware of eating healthy foods that your morning cereal is beginning to resemble the stuff you use to feed to the hamster you had when you were a kid.
2) you mindlessly eat a grape while walking through the kitchen and you don't break stride to get to your computer to log it in on your calorie count.
*bump*
I SO agree. That's ME :)
You know you are obsessed when you are in maintenance mode and you still get bummed because you don't have even a 20 calorie deficit.
(old habits die hard :)
