How to tell when someone is dieting.

• They are never without a water bottle to sip on.


• They pee 17 times a day.


• They can smell chocolate from 200 yards away.


• Their farts smell like lettuce or their farts smell like fish. But then again, what's the difference?


• They notice body composition changes in everyone else.


• They weigh themselves in tenths of a pound.


• It takes them 20 minutes to figure out what to order at a restaurant and 4 minutes to actually order it. Then they send it back at least once.


• They are cranky. All. The. Time.


• They wonder how skinny people can eat so much and not be fat.


• They wonder how they eat so little and are not skinny.


• When they eat something not "healthy", they first look left and then right to see if anyone is watching.


• If someone is watching they will reflexively say, "this is only two points." Even if it is a Snickers bar. And even if they aren't on Weight Watchers. Then they will finish the rest of it in one bite. Even if it is king size.


• The guy at the salad store recognizes them and asks if they are having "the usual."


• Their family knows which Weight Watcher's desserts taste good and which don't.


• They chew each pretzel (in a 100 calorie pack of course) no less than 9 times.
  
• They wonder if any of the magic weight loss remedies actually work.


• They realize the magic doesn't work. It comes back to diet and exercise. Duh.


• They can't watch the food channel without salivating even if it is a food they normally don't like.


• They have mood swings on weigh-in day.

Today's weigh-in had me at losing 0.4 pounds. My mood is, you guessed it, grumpy/cranky.
