        Ok here is one..

        When you go to the movies, and smuggle in a bag of pork rinds, then realise you forgot the water and pay $3.50 for a SMALL bottles water.. instead of getting the diet pop

            You know you are on atkins when you are dancing around cause you have to go, but run back to drink more of your water before you run out the door, and then you hum a little ditty, out damn fat out! And you realize you ENJOY having to go so much cause it could mean a swooshy!

            You know you are on atkins when you use your water bottle as a shield by hugging it when people start talking about this delicious (insert name here) dinner they had which was soooo not atkins friendly.

            You know you are on Atkins when a spontaneous invite to lunch or dinner out comes up and you automatically look up the menu on the internet so you can plan what you can have.

            You know you are on atkins when you bring your own water bottle to restuarants and ask for an empty glass so you can keep track of how much you are drinking.

              Oh, so very true! And then look up the iffy menu items in Fitday!

              You know you are on Atkins when you know recipes for such things as mock danish, whooshie pie and clouds.

                Sorry if these have already been posted, but:

                -You believe in the Whooshie Fairy
                -You know DANDR isn't something in cat hair, WOE isn't being sad, and WOL isn't an enclosement
                -You have to pee more than your very elderly grandparents
                -You find yourself explaining to coworkers, family, friends, etc. for the HUNDREDTH time that day how fat is actually good for you
                -You've been accused of being "crazy" or a "conspiracy theorist" because of your views on the food pyramid


                I'm VERY guilty of peeking into other people's carts at the grocery store too! It's a guilty pleasure of mine.

                  You know you are on Atkins when:

                  There's a bottle of water by your bed, on your desk, by the couch, on the dining room table, in your bag, in your car, in the bathroom ...........

                  You think of fizzy water as champagne

                    This is a great thread!!

                    You know you are on Atkins when:

                    - You look in the mirror and feel surprised at how much your skin is clear and glowing
                    - Never having to take the skin off of roast chicken feels so guilty!
                    - People who live with you have a hard time keeping up with your boundless newfound energy (hehe especially when you're married to an older man )
                    - When rifling through your closet feels so good, looking for things to wear (that you haven't fit into & worn for years) unlike before when it would be aaaarghh!!!! I can't fit into anything!
                    - When you fall asleep at night you are not dreaming of food lol

                            -You're at a pot-luck at work and don't even want the desserts or non-Atkins friendly food.

                            -You watch your coworkers go crazy looking for candy when their afternoon sugar craving kicks in and you're happy sitting there with your water and string cheese.

                            -You loose 15 pounds in 2 months and your calorie watching buddy GAINS 4.

                            -Heavy cream replaces bread as a staple on your grocery list.

                            -You can make cookies for your kid's class and not even want to lick the bowl or spoon.

                            -You seriously consider writing to your favorite resturant for them to create a chicken skin appetizer instead of potato skins.

                            -You watch someone eat McDonald's and are disgusted and the smell makes you nauseas.

                            -You are very judgemental of other peoples' eating habits and the groceries they buy.

                            I too look into people's shopping carts. I tend to analyze other peoples' groceries and sometimes I'm just amazed at how much processed junk food people buy. A few days ago, this lady had a cart FULL of crackers, cookies, chips, FOUR 12pks of soda, and many other trash foods. She was in front of me in line and there was only one produce item and it was an onion.

                                You know your on Atkins when..

                                you measure yourself by 'handfuls'.. (grabbing your fat rolls to see if they have shrunk today)

                                you are deeply offended when people offer you illegal items when they KNOW you are on Atkins.. (even though they probably don't know whats illegal)

                                You stop thinking of food as 'fun'

                                When you eat, your counting.. carbs, calories from fat, etc all in your mind without effort, and mostly just for fun.

                                You look at your fat, lazy, good for nothing cat and wonder of the atkins diet would work on him/her.

                                You secretly start feeding your family the atkins diet because they're all fat and need to lose a bit, and since they can't cook they don't know any better.

                                Munchies? I've heard of this... something to do with short people right? (confused)

                                You hide the water bill because hubby doesn't know that you ordered a case of bottled water with your jugs, and you don't wanna share.

                                The bed is getting bigger, and bigger. Or is it that your getting smaller?

                                You have to remind yourself that you FIT INSIDE a regular bathroom stall now.

                                You keep forgetting how much you weigh because everytime you check it's different/less.

                                Nothing in your closet fits anymore. Not a darn thing. Even your undies are like parachutes.

                                You don't sleep anymore because you have ENERGY!! and being awake burns more calories.
