You know you've been dieting too long when ...

[SteelWeaver]

1) You're hard-boiled vegetarian, but you find yourself slowing and stopping to look at the pics outside the KFC, then you realise you're salivating.
2) You look forward to your next 10 egg whites.
3) Your morning oatmeal, the only carbs in your diet, taste absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious!
4) NOBODY invites you out.
5) NOBODY even offers you snacks etc, anymore.
6) A diet coke is the day's treat, after the oatmeal.
7) You automatically double the estimated time it takes to walk anywhere.
8) You absolutely simply WILL NOT get up and give an old lady your seat on the train.
9) You waste hours in the supermarket just reading the nutritional labels of foods you can't eat, picking them up, reading them, putting them back.

What else ya got, ladies?

 

[SteelWeaver]

Oh, I forgot:

10) Your NIGHTMARES are FILLED with food, food, food. You wake up still with the smell of fresh-baked bread in your nostrils.
11) Food is MUCH MUCH more interesting than sex.

12) You're thinking about food while your having sex!!??

 

[new@gettinbig]

13. You bake some delicious food, and satisfied just watching someone eating it.

 

[vixenbabe]

14) You lick the remains of a Snicker's Flurry from your little girl's face rather than using a wash cloth!(Yes, I admit to this one)

 

[Iron Queen]

14. As you are writing down your daily food intake in your log (for ex. in a contest prep situation) you start pasting pictures in the front and back of the log book of all the types of food that you will have after you compete! lol lol (sad, but what I did for my last show! hahaha!)

IQ

 

[Sassy69]

You pass on a movie date so you can make sure to get your food packed for the next day's meals.


You realize you don't know how to eat without a meal plan and a total calorie count & p/f/c ratio for the day.

 

[SteelWeaver]

LMAO! Some good stuff here.

Here's another - not as graphic as IQ, but I kept a written list of everything I intended to eat after my contest, and added to it almost every day in the last few weeks. Boy, was that list long!

Also, the local supermarket clerks clear the way to the egg shelf when they see you walk into the store.

Ha ha, new@ - yeah, getting other people to eat what you can't!

 

[hooper2]

When your friends answer for you "she can't eat that" when you are around new people who don't know you are dieting.

 

[tripleV]

i agree with spatts up top.....going to bed at 7 pm hungry cause u just cant deal with it anymore....

 

[VooDoo Lady]

Your mouth waters uncontrollably at the mere THOUGHT of a Pure Protein Chewy Chocolate Chip protein bar *drool*

 

[Sassy69]

... when your taste buds stop working.

 

[magdelana]

Diet?

For me low cal is only eating half the cow at a time.

1) You're hard-boiled vegetarian, but you find yourself slowing and stopping to look at the pics outside the KFC, then you realise you're salivating.
What else ya got, ladies?

there is a kfc right next to my gym..i hate fried food...but the smell is UNbelieveable..and totally unfair when ure about to do cardio FTITM on an empty stomach

 

[Arioch]

For me low cal is only eating half the cow at a time.

Do you need a coach?

 

[SteelWeaver]

Yeah. OMG, I gotta see more of this woman. Give us more than your legs Mags!

So the Georgians have converted you to carnivorism? I bet the chickens are sighing in relief!

 

[Wombat]

You take a bit of a brownie or something just to spit it all out----

You stop going to see a movie just so you don't get tempted by the popcorn

You go through 150 plastic baggies in less then 2 weeks----

The clock becomes your bible(and you even begin to watch the second hands)

If you miss a meal even by just 15min----you feel your whole day is fucked up

You cook "real" food just to smell it and then to throw it out

You realize that every fucking TV commerical is about food and beer

You wonder how in the hell if your with someone thats eating something really good that they could leave it on their plate just to get thrown out

the bakery in the supermarket becomes your 2nd home just for the smell

 

[Sumo'sBaby]

When you tell your friends steamed chicken breasts is an acquired taste.

 

[SteelWeaver]

You realize that every fucking TV commerical is about food and beer

Ha ha. You realise that no matter WHERE you go, there is some food there that's not on your diet. Even in a clothing store, you'll see some kid eating an ice-cream or something.

 

[Cheetarah]

9) You waste hours in the supermarket just reading the nutritional labels of foods you can't eat, picking them up, reading them, putting them back.

I can SOO relate to #9!

 

[dieslgrl]

you know you have been dieting too long when...

#1. your favorite TV program is " Cooking Live with Emeril"

#2. you read cooking magazines and cut out recipes that you may never ever make

#3. you bake cookies and make everyone around you eat them

#4. you get in nearly ten fender-benders in one day

#5. you lost your keys for the tenth time in one day

#6. you walk into the gym in the morning, and the person on "your bike" gets off when they see you coming

#7. People stop saying hello in the gym.

ok, I have been dieting since January.. who can beat that?

dg

 

[SteelWeaver]

I empathise with you DG - I WAS dieting since January until last week, when I started eating, and eating, and eating ...

But went back on a nice clean diet today - for MASS GAIN. <chew, chew, chew> lol

You just did one show, right? And the next is soon?

Hang in there!

[BrickGirl]

I have been reading this thread laughing all week, well, my kid who is 3 years old, finally gave me one to post he said

"Mommy, can I please have that coloring book, pretty please with sugar on top, no, wait, I mean with rice and a big steak!"

I shit you not, that is what he said. I have for sure been dieting too long when my 3 year old knows better.

OMG, BrickGirl - THAT is the funniest thing I've heard in a while. LMAO! You must have just doubled over when you heard that.

 

[Ceebs]

Bumping an oldie but goodie. @#$^% I HATE DIETING!

 

[w84me]

You tell your kids to go scrape their plates in to the dog bowl because you don't trust yourself to do it.

Then your jealous of the dog!

 

[w84me]

1. Never eat more than you can lift.

2. If you are what you eat, then I'm fast, cheap and easy.

3. Veni, Vedi, Vegi . . . I came, I saw, I had a salad.

 

[JJFigure]

You keep bowls of s/f jello in the fridge in case you get up in the middle of the night needing to eat something...anything.

You throw away a whole jar of peanut butter because you can't trust yourself around it.

You get excited when you get to refeed on cream of wheat.

Your coworkers warn people about your mood swings.

 

[Fonz]

What a Mommy! Does your license plate read, "MILF 2B?"

Spatts has been watching American Pie again.....

Fonz

 

[princess]

you almost start thinking of black coffee with an equal as a dessert because it will satisy your "sweet" craving...
