  21. When the spouse starts taking pictures of meals for you ... Husband did that last week. It tripped me out.

  22. Sadly, I will never have a problem with:
    •You ask your doctor if he can give you something for “blogger’s block”?

    I can always chatter about something--and do.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Random everyday occurrences prompt your spouse to ask, "You're not going to put this on the internet, are you?"

  28. Ha ha!!!! So true, I probably need blog addiction therapy, although, I fear my case is likely hopeless ;)

    ReplyDelete
  29. WOW... this is hillarious. I love it. I think the scariest of them all is that I know what six random people ate for not only breakfast, but for lunch, dinner, snacks, and desserts. I think I have a problem... thanks for pointing it out :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hilarious! And I'm sooooo guilty of some of these!

    ReplyDelete
  37. That's me to a T! I'm forever making notes about things to blog and tweet about!

    ReplyDelete
  38. It's especially bad when you refer to other weight loss bloggers as your "friends". As in, while telling a story to other people about something, you grab an example from a blogger and refer to them as your friend.

    I gotta stop that.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I must say, I am happy to know I am not the only blogger that is completely addicted to other peoples dieting blogs. I am addicted to weight loss and I think I need help! :)

  40. Weight loss is no joke. It's everywhere. Everyone wants to do it. And everyone's talking about it. Weight loss is the "in" thing. I think :P

  41. Oh my heck! I've done a bunch of these!
