You know you're hooked on Atkins when

[cleochatra]

1. You refer to Dr Atkins as your doctor

2. You now lick the spoatula after making devilled eggs with the same relish you used to have with chocolate frosting

3. You can't WAIT to get on the scale in the morning

4. You have to remind yourself to eat because you're just not hungry

5. You exercise because Atkins works so well, you're needing to shape all the excess wobbly bits from so much weight loss!

6. You bring the veggie tray everywhere you go, and nobody would ever guess you were even on Atkins.

7. You watch your friends starve at lunch because they're on a diet. Meanwhile you order your double bacon cheeseburger (sans bun) and their jaws drop. They tell you you're going to get fat. You smile.

8. You know words like "lipolysis", "whooshie" and "glycemic indexes".
