  • You know you're doing Atkins when....

    We had a similar thread quite some time ago, and many of the members came up some very clever additions. I'll get you started, and then let's see how creative we all can be!

    You know you're doing Atkins when

    1. You have at least seven kinds of cheeses in your refrigerator.

    2. You spent more on heavy cream last month than entertainment.

    3. You regularly buy salad greens that you had never heard of a year ago.

    4. You keep a large bottle of liquid stevia at work and another at home.

    5. You measure your daily supplements by the pound.

    6. Meat sales throw you into a buying frenzy.

    7. You not only know what Jicama is, you can pronounce it properly.

    8. Your frying pan stays permanently on the stove.

    9. You regularly put things on a salad that in the past only went between bread slices.

    10. You read the nutrition label on every item before putting it in the cart.

    11. ????

      13. You buy stock in pork rinds.

      14. You pack celery and cucumber slices and sneak them into the movies.

      15. You walk down stairs and your pants fall down. Ok, so I was wearing a skirt and my underwear started creeping down...so sue me...I made the most graceful exit possible while holding my knees together!

        16. When you join a board that includes people walking down stairs with their pants falling down!

        17. When people proudly tell you that your eating eggs for breakfast, salad for lunch and a steak w/cooked vegetable for dinner is not only SINFUL but UNHEALTHY compared to their granola with syrup.

        18. When the pound are coming but inches are going.

        19. When you smash your scale because the color of the strips and the fit of your clothes are right and IT is DEAD WRONG!

        20. When you're dragging your butt in front of the Squat **** EVERY single day and learn to grimace with style.

        21. When you think about what you're having for dinner then picture serving it with bread and say: EEEEWWWWWWW and instead serve yourself a second helping of fried cheddar .

          When the bottle you carry is full of water, and filled numerous times a day!

          When you say "no thanks I'm full", and mean it!

          When you don't have to chomp on antiacids to relieve heartburn

          When you eat full fat 'whatever' and enjoy it!

            You've given so many "fat" clothes to Goodwill that they send you a written thank you.

            People on the running trail recognize you.

            You get an email from the running shoe factory reminding you its time for another new pair.

            You have the menu memorized at all the steakhouses.

            People stop offering you junk food at work.

            There's always a bottle of water in your hand.

            You can't even remember what they sell in the middle aisles of the grocery store.

            When the smell of McDonalds nauseates you.

            When the server doesn't even offer you appetizers or dessert any more.

              When you cry in dressing rooms because clothes fit and look good!

              People start asking you for advice on weight loss.

              You haven't needed a nap since pre-Atkins.

              Your rings have to be sized every few months.

              Parts of your body shrunk that you didn't even know were fat. (fingers, feet)

                You wonder if you losing weight from the Atkins plan or if you are really losing it from all the running to the bathroom to pee!
