You can tell you've been dieting too long when... (just for fun!)

You can tell you've been dieting too long when you're eating a diet coke cake with blueberries and think, "I love the crust that using coke gives it.  It's so much nicer than real cake!"

You accidentally buy the 1% milk at the store rather than the non-fat, and you drink the 1% and it seems soooooo rich and decadent!  :)

You can walk through the grocery store and rattle off the calories in everything

 ABSOLUTELY!! haha. Or you can't imagine a meal without a huge salad accompaning it as opposed to potato/pasta/rice enter starchy (EVIL) carb of choice!!

When you start mixing regular coke with diet coke for a "touch" of sugar-overload

haha! This is fun!!

I was watching a movie with my sister last night, and the main character was giving birth. I said, "Man... do you have any idea how many calories she is burning by going through labor?"

LOL

When you stop craving chocolate and start craving lima beans (true story). LOL

When you think you are cheating when you measure a teaspoon of sugar and put it in your iced tea.

 Recipe please!!!

You start counting the calories other people are eating to "compare".  I do this at work all the time!

You don't eat something at a buffet lunch because it will be too hard to figure out how to enter it in your food log (happened today at a lunch where I am sure I had the calories available for the pasta side dish but didn't take it).

You start to type "ice cube" on calorie count... duh!

1 box cake mix.

1 can diet coke.

Mix.

Ignore all directions on cake box except for "bake at XXX for XXXX minutes."

When you start craving water instead of diet soda.

Yup, I crave water.

You know you have been dieting too long when your 11 year old son reads the nutritional information on a can and says "If I have the diet coke, I can have ice cream later"  lol

When you laugh for 10 minutes solid at your own ineptness of trying to figure out this site AND THEN go to the activities list to see if "laughing" is there! (True story also!)

That sounds yummy! I just dug out a box of mix from my pre calorie count days.  Can't wait- does this mean I've been dieting too long ?  : )

When you find yourself engaged in a discussion with your husband whether sex that morning was "general" or "vigorous" so you can enter the proper 5 minutes activity into your log.

when somebody buys you a vodka with full fat coke instead of diet, and you fall out with them.

when you no longer need a scale to weigh your fruit and you can tell the number of calories just by holding it in your hand.
