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

    Ok I know we've had a thread like this before but a new one would be fun.

    Add yours too

    You know you're doing Atkins when:

    1) You can cook a cooked breakfast (typically eggs and bacon) to total perfection and think having it outside the home never matches up

    2) If you wash up in the sink, things can be kinda greasy...eww.

    3) You've nearly killed yourself falling on stairs because of tripping on the hem of overly large trousers/pyjamas

    4) When you go food shopping half to a third of the checkout is covered in green stuff and there is only one processed thing and it's not for you

    5) You are used to people predicting your imminent death and brush it off

    6) You REALLY appreciate mayo

    7) Ditto cheese

    If a friend asks you to eat out you are skilled at steering them towards a place with salad or steaks

    9) You know how long a boiled egg can be at room temperature before it goes grey or goes off and becomes a health hazard

    10) You realise it is fun to see the reactions of people you haven't seen in a while when they note your slimness.

    11) For the ladies You really need a whole load of new bras, admit it!

    12) You realize that butter is your ambrosia.

    13) Your thongs have become granny panties.

    14) You think nothing of drinking a gallon of water.

    15) You get strange looks at the grocery store--people can't figure out if you're a vegetarian or a cannibal-once-removed.

      If your breath can clear the room yet its your saving grace because it never lets you to forget to drink all of your water, lol

      you feel pregnant again having to pee every 15 minutes because of all the water you drink

      your new favorite place is the walmart dressing room discovering new sizes you can wear.

        Alexa, your number 8 is ~ If a friend asks you to eat out you are skilled at steering them towards a place with salad or steaks. Funny cause mine is to steering to places with fish and veggies. If it doesn't have fish or veggies I don't want to go there.

          You know your on Atkins when....

          1. you wake up in the morning and can tell that you lost another pound.

          2. People blink when you refuse to drink diet soda because it's unhealthy and then consume a prime rib before their eyes.

          3. When your nails stop breaking and your hair gets shinier.

          4. When you get e-mail attachments from your friends daily discussing the evils of fat.

          5. When you go clothes shopping and one month later, the clothes are baggy

          6. when you realize that EVERYTHING can be wrapped in lettuce,

          7. when a combination of bacon, cream cheese, and lettuce sounds like a normal light snack.

          8. when you gain a pound for LOOKING at french bread.

                everyone wants to know HOW TO DO ATKINS and you try to give a verbal crash course to them and find yourself exhausted by the end of telling them.

                flax is now a word you know.

                you avoid the bakery section of the market with a passion

                no need to lift 5 pound bags of sugar into your shopping cart anymore or white flour too

                you know splenda well if you have any sweet tooth

                eggs, your buying more eggs then you ever have
