  • You know you are doing great on Atkins when..

    You can't keep the refrigerator stocked up on veggies.

    You don't remember the last time you had a beverage other than water.

    You're underwear fall off as soon as you put them on (I just got new ones)

    Your husband looks at you with a whole new admiration!!!!

    You don't remember going this long without feeling hungry in your entire life.

    You actually feel like you can weigh the same as you did in high school.



    Ok everyone keep it going....

    ...You actually look forward to weighing yourself

    ...You have to remind yourself that it's okay NOT to wear the big sweatshirts that you think hide your stomach a little better

    ...you don't have to hold your breath when going through turnstyles or putting the seatbelt on in an airplane

        You pick up your scale and drop it a few times just to make sure it isn't broken and it was right about the loss

        You are able to bake brownies and sniffing them is your happiest reward

        You are getting rid of your fat clothes faster than you can buy new ones

        You found your hip bones and bruise yourself from poking them too much just to make sure they're still there

        You feel your neck all the time because you have a jawbone again

        Your skin is clearer than it had been in years

        You have a board like ADBB for support and encouragement~

          This made me LMAO. I do this all the time now. It's a fun little game now. Let me see how many bones I can feel. Oh, that didn't come out right. Now I am really LOL.

            Thanks mom-to-four!

            I am LOL about feeling the bones, I have been rubbing my neck a lot lately as well, since I discovered my long lost collar bone!

              I second the collar bone thing!!!

              ...there's space between your stomach and the steering wheel.

              ...You can actually look for clothes in the "ladies" section instead of the "womans" section.

              ...You keep holding your hand up to admire your slimmer wrist.

              lol

                You spend your time dreaming about Johnny Depp rather than Johnny Cakes.

                  ...catching a glance of yourself naked in the mirror isn't immediately followed by nausea or vomiting.
