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?

My "Top 5": 5. You spend half of your day Sunday preparing single servings of low calorie snacks so the week's lunch prep will be easy. Those 10 almonds will make such a lovely snack on Tuesday afternoon! 4. When frozen unsweetened cherries taste at least as good as ice cream and you're convinced that a mashed banana tastes just like pudding once it's spent 30 seconds in the microwave. 3. When you get annoyed at last-minute dinner invitations because you front-loaded the days calories at lunch and at rainy days because now you have to make up the 45 minutes of biking you'd planned on. 2. When you're happy to be the designated driver because you only have enough calories left for one beer anyway. 1. When a thread likes this inspires you to sign up for a CC account because you've finally found other people who "get it"

When you know how much your pee weighs.

When you actually create a thread like this, and if you didn't create it, you sit and read through all five pages of it, laughing your behind off while going "yep, yep, I've done that!"

When you have wonky holes in your belts from creating your own notches with a hole punch (if only!)

when your first reaction to any mention of food is to spout off the calorie content, fat grams, and amount of sugar in said food. when your idea of flavor is a sandwich with spinach, green pepper, and cucumber on it. when your boyfriend buys the chocolate cookies you swore never to buy again and you wait to eat one until he's asleep. and you don't even like them that much. when you spend your entire workday on cc reading and posting in these forums (hey, i had nothing to do today anyway).

When you decide to take a day off from exercising, and are cranky for the rest of said day. Or you take a day off from exercising, realize there's nothing else to do and head for the gym anyway!

you know you have been dieting to long when look at the world in calories- "I wonder how much calories is in dog food"-do dogs need to count calories anyway" One grape is 4 calories-that means one raisin is 4 calories- if this energy bar is 200 calories that means half of it is 100 calories and a quarter is 50 calories and 1/8 is 25 calories and 1/16th is 12.5 calories and 1/32th is 6.25 calories and 1/64th is roughly 3 calories and then half of that is about the size of a sand grain and if I eat it by that ratio I will burn many many more calories..my god..!

When you used to eat a ton of calories but have days where you actually have to figure out "what else can I eat so that I at least get my minimum calories in?"

when people say start bulking!
#95	athenad121	May 21 2008 15:21
When your Saturday night cocktail splurge is Crystal Light mixed with Vodka and you swear it tastes just like a real cosmopolitan/vodka cran/screwdriver/seabreeze/lemon drop or whatever depending on what flavor Crystal Light it is... Sad, I know...

The taste of regular sodas makes you sick, literally sick, and you crave the specific diet taste and its aftertaste you have come to love.
#97	startreadingstopeating	May 21 2008 18:05
One more. When you had your first boca/gardenburger meat like patty, you felt your eyes about to tear because you were just THAT happy that you could finally have a "hamburger" without guilt. After all, it WAS your first burger in six months.

OMG - these are all hilarious - LOL! Sorry if someone else has mentioned this one: when it takes forever to finish one #%@$&*! half-gallon of milk because you now drink it in ACTUAL one-cup or half-cup servings!!!!!
#99	10bysummer	May 22 2008 04:35
When you know that there is a 2 calorie difference per serving between the "old" extra gum packs and the "new" ones.....

when you dream EVERY night, invariably, about eating tons of terrible food. and then wake up in a panic.
