I have an account at the butcher's now.

I never did pre-Atkins!

Re: You know you're on Atkins when

You shop the outsides of the store now for the healthy foods and forget to buy shampoo in aisle 13 and the dog's food.

LOL That is so true!

Re: You know you're on Atkins when

When you keep a tally of every staircase you climb, every mile you walk, and every minute you spend exercising.

When you panic on seing that your water jug is empty.

When you take your own food with you, even when invited to eat with someone.

I got yelled at for that one! LMAO! I brought dessert to my brother's bday party in a restaurant...and Tim "yelled" at me about it!

When you see a really pretty blouse and they have it in your size but decide not to buy it because soon you will be a size smaller and it will be too big. This was a first for me the shopaholic. LOL

Re: You know you're on Atkins when

When you forget to buy mineral water in a place where tap water isn't suitable for drinking... and the shops are closed!

This thread should get awards for comic value. I think I'm going to nominate it for an Academy Award!

Re: You know you're on Atkins when

when..

You wanna brag to your husband about going to the bathroom. (sorry)

You start accusing others of 'stealing' your water.. I KNOW IT WAS YOU!!!

You have 5 sets of measuring cups, and think you need to go to the store tomorrow and get some more cause they're always in the washingmachine...

You buy belts instead of smaller pants cause sure enough soon as you fork over $50 for a pair of jeans they are baggy and falling off.

Suspenders seem like a smart buy

You stop thinking of yourself as a fat person, and now think of yourself as a person in control of yourself/your weight..

You spit out the whip cream your hubby tediously whipped for you because he put in 2 packs of stevia instead of one and IT'S LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO KILL YA, IT WAS SO SWEET.

The cat loved to smell your breathe.. mmm.. bacon...

You stop having to lean sideways to get closer to the counter in your kitchen when preparing food.. you can actually get close enough straight on!

ooooh I could go on..

Re: You know you're on Atkins when

You know when you're on Atkins when:

When you think of making a wrap, you get the lettuce out
You panic when you run out of water (tap water is undrinkable here)
You get up 6 times a night to pee and you don't have any trouble getting back to sleep
You stop while bouncing around your kitchen and wonder, where did all this energy come from when before it was all you could do to get you a** of the couch!

Great thread, I could go on for hours!

Re: You know you're on Atkins when

You know you're on Atkins when your anti-Atkins doctor, having previously warned you that your cholesterol and triglycerides would be sky-high, furrows his brow in disbelief when your bood work has actually improved since you started the diet!

Re: You know you're on Atkins when

Kitty momma, I laughed at "You start accusing people of stealing your water." This happened the other day. I had a bottle of water open, left it on the table to go do something and when I came back my husband was drinking it. I said "What are you doing!!!" (Probably a little more dramatically than I needed to, but come on! That stuff is liquid gold!) Get your own bottle, man! How am I supposed to keep track of what I'm drinking if you're always drinking from my bottle. Dang.

Re: You know you're on Atkins when

You know you're on Atkins when:

You won't buy anything without first checking the label for carbohydrate content.

You feel nekked without your pedometer on.

You automatically describe your special recipes in terms of net carbs as well as measurements in cups.

You haven't a clue what's new on aisles 5-9 at the grocery store.

There are no split pants in your mending pile.

You never forget to "go" before leaving.

Architectural decor of all sizes with reflective surfaces double as mirrors wherever you go.

Your cookie jar sports a houseplant.
