    You know you've been doing Atkins for some time when...

    I remember a great post about 'you know you're on atkins when'. I think there are a whole new set for when you've been doing it a while.

    So, you you've been doing Atkins for some time when...

    1. You can chop a pepper with minimum seed disturbance.
    2. If you have cream in your (decaf) tea and someones asks why and you say 'because it's higher fat' without realising that they might think that's crazy.
    3. When you no longer have headaches.
    4. When your relatives stop buying you sweets and chocolate.
    5. When more than half of your clothes washing seems to be workout clothes.
    6. When you forget how to cook pasta.
    7. When you are no longer embarrassed about eating a salad in a public place out of a tupperware box.
    8. When going somewhere without water seems ridiculous.

    Add any others!

    When you're shopping the outer perimiter of your grocers where the fresh wholesome food is rather than in the inner isles where the processed food is.

          Lol, these are good ones!

          I thought of another today:

          When you find yourself saying to a new friend or colleague 'I used to be overweight' to explain something you've said.

            I have a few!

            You can do AMAZING things with eggs.

            Turning down sweets becomes an automatic reflex.

            Your dad gives you prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella for Valentine's Day instead of a box of chocolates.

              When you look at what other eat with amazement and even disgust.
              Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
              he said, 'Don't count calories.'

                  The long term Atkineer would not even look at the KitKat, never mind pick it up!

                              When you reply to someone that no, you're not on a diet, your on a woe for life---and you say it just like that, no explaination of the acronym. "woe" like "woa horsey".
