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?

You know you're obsessed when this site is all you can think about and you're always wondering if someone has replied to your last post and then you get an email notification and your excited to see what they said.

You find yourself using your cell phone more for the mobile version than you use it to actually talk on it. LOL

You are always diggin in the trash when your boyfriend cooks you something so you can see the calories that were in the food after he's thrown the box away. LOL!!!

I too keep this site open while I'm at work and I do more work on it than I actuall do at work! LOL!!!

I'm addicted...but what better place to have an addiction than a health/calorie counting site!!!

I have totally done so many of these things!

 - I've calculated every single bite of something, even a bite out of a cookie!

 - I've totally dug food boxes out of the trash before!

Hahaha...there are some great responses on here!
So nice to know I'm so not alone. Ha!

I could use the line
"when you post multiple times to this thread because you keep thinking of things" LOL

But instead....
You know you are addicted when you recruit new people, post about them in your journal, and ask your CC buddies  to say hello to them and share their praises of CC.

You know you are addicted when you debate getting something you want to eat really badly, but you know how many calories over your daily goal it will put you and you can't bear to see your "eat meter" number higher than your "burn meter".

You know your addicted when

- you repeatedly break promises to yourself about only spending a certain amount of time here or break deals with yourself, procrastinating when to leave the site

- you fear members will read your post history and see how much of your personal time you spend here

- you find yourself posting throughout a 3 page thread about a specific piece of food or dieting theory

When you want to play hookey from work so you can play with your c-c friends all day.

... not to be confused with being fired from work because you play with your c-c friends all day.

Gets frustrated because is unable to acces c-c at work and very jealous of those who can.

1. I'm definitely guilty of digging boxes out of the trash to look at the nutrition facts!! :)

2. I'm also guilty of coming home from the gym and immediately getting online to log my calories burned before I even shower!

And one last one..

3. I'm guilty of working an entire 12 hour night shift and spending more hours on CC than actually working...

Hoooo haha heeeeee ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!   Haaaaaaaa haaaaa hoooohoooooo heeeee haaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa! AAAAAAAAAAhhh haha ha heeeeeee ha ha!  Ho ha ha heeeeeeeeeeeeeah ha ha ha!  hahahahahahahahahahaha heeeeeeeeeeaha ha ha! 

Can anyone tell me exactly how many calories I just burned by a 15.3 second complete belly laugh??!??

"You are always diggin in the trash when your boyfriend cooks you something so you can see the calories that were in the food after he's thrown the box away."

Oh no! I am addicted lol!

You know you're addicted if...you call your boyfriend to ask what is for dinner so you can log it and decide how many cals you have left for snack...instead of working.

Or how about being on cc when I could be exercising?

Bahahahahaha I laughed for like 10 minutes when I read that. 

Whenever anyone else cooks for me, I ask a million questions about what went into it and how they made it...like..oh you used olive oil?  About how much would you say you used?  And then I usually add about 20-50% to whatever they say, because I'm assuming they don't really know how to estimate amounts.  I also ask irrelevant things (like what temperature did you bake it at?) so that it sounds like maybe I'm planning to make it myself someday.

You know you're addicted... when your family stops asking you to bring a dish to family dinners because they KNOW it will be a fat free, low cal version.

*waggles his eyebrows*

You know you're addicted to Calorie-Count.. when you keep reading this thread, nodding going "Yep, that's me too."

.

... when you see an email in you inbox from hungrygirl and know that its not porn spam.

Indeed - I keep reading this thread, going "yeah...sigh...(reads more)....yeah that's me....sigh...."

I'll be positive and say it's kind of comforting that we share these things.

(goes to dig side dish packaging from last night's meal that hubby forgot  - gasp, yeah forgot - to leave out on the counter for me....)

......when you don't want to take a day off work because that is your only internet access and you can't bear to get behind in your journal reading or a day of chat. :D

when you talk about CC constantly, even tho not everyone (like your dentist, or the checkout clerk) is as interested as you think they are.

When most of your conversations with reallife ppl include "on CC we yada yada"

You get up at 7:30 and find that at 11:15 you are STILL on CC.

You're afraid to leave the computer because the only other thing you would be doing is ......eating.  Sitting here is safe  :)

1)  you keep checking the last few threads you posted to, to see if anyone else has responded so you can read what they said

2) you notice you're the last poster, and you posted a while ago, and you silently wonder if everyone else on the site stopped being a slacker and went back to work. meanwhile, you don't get off the site

.......when you find yourself in a public bathroom writing down the foods you just ate at a lunch with your boss so you don't forget!

..............when you turned down a FREE cookie because you splurged on a creamy cup of mushroom soup and you already know what you'll be entering when you get back to work (this is happening right now as we speak btw).

....when you can finally look at any food as...well....food.....and not an emotional void-filler. And you learned this yourself by coming to CC. Thanks everyone!!
