.... when you pan fry your pork chop in butter instead of manically grilling it then slicing off every sliver of fat

Your 5 year old son gets peanut M&M's after a soccer game. He tries to offer them to your 15 month old grandson and you tell him, "No, the baby can't have those." Your 5 year old replies, "Why, because they got too much carbs?" LOL

Too cute!!

......when chilidog casserole is good for you and allowed on induction.

ROFLMAO.......Great post! Thanks so much for the laugh.......

*looking sheepish because last night I had a HUGE t-bone steak with green beans and a side of steak*

Oops, almost forgot......You have spaghetti for dinner but there's no pasta to be found anywhere on your plate!........LOL

When you check your handbag and discover that you always carry at least one tin of sardines and six sachets of full fat mayonaise.

When you order a meal out, and ask for extra chili oil on everything.

When you quite look forward to stepping on the scales.

When you know every shop in the city that sells coconut oil and 99% chocolate.

When you know every cafe in the city that has coffee with real cream.

When you think steak is the ideal breakfast.

When your young children give you lectures about how too much sugar causes diabetes, and why fat is good for you.

When someone handbakes a special birthday cake for you, and you wonder how do you get out of eating it, it just tastes far too sweet.

When your children bakes themselves snacks, and they never involve wheat or sugar.

When your mother greets you with "How's the diet going, any kidney or liver failure yet?"

... your breath smells like you've been on an all night drunk

This is a true story..it happened today to me...

You know your on Atkins when you eat your dinner of pork steak fried in olive oil w/ oil to dip it in, then your cleaning the dishes up and your husband says..."You might want to wipe that oil off your chin"..that could have been embarrasing..I didn't feel a thing and needed to go to the grocery store for more eggs soooo glad he saw that!

You know you are on Atkins when:

you go to an all you can eat buffet and ask for the piece of meat with all the fat... <love that>

you are sitting a table savoring your piece of fatty meat and have some snippy old lady come by and explain to you that what you are eating is makeing you fat! <yep, has happened several times>

when you are on a road trip and stop by a Quick trip. You use the bathroom, buy a bottle of water, bag of pork rinds and some beef jerky!

Your set-it and forget it rotissouri never gets turned off...

You use your Mickey Mouse waffle maker to make your eggs look like Mickey Mouse!

Why??? What buisiness is that of theirs?
I don't get it why other people feel the need to openly judge, or worse, chide or scold you for stuff like that. Are you hurting THEM in any way?
IT'S NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS!!!

When you know every cafe in the city that has coffee with real cream.

I know every coffee shop in town that has heavy cream AND doesn't put sugar/syrup in it

Your dog is horrified by your breath.

You are contemplating divorce because your husband keeps bringing Girl Scout cookies home.

You find out your kids will eat veggies if you cook them.

You actually know what kale is.

You are considering raising and slaughtering your own cows to save grocery money.

You are as excitied to go to Sam's Club/Cosco as your kids are to go to Toys R Us.

True Story:

You wonder if Chickens could survive the Vegas summer so you can save some money and harvest their eggs.

You keep sugar free chewing gum and mints in your drawer at work in case a colleague has to sit with you and get a whiff of your breath

Have to eat lunch alone at work because your lunch box always includes egg salad or tinned sardines

You don’t wash the frying pan up after cooking bacon, because the fat is so yummy you can use it later to fry your dinner

You use coconut oil around your sore nose when you have a cold

You avoid throat sweets when you can hardly speak because they all contain sugar ( does anyone have a solution to this?)

On a meal out with friends you are the only one who orders extra veg or salad & Mayo, instead of the fries. Then orders the cheeseboard and just eats the cheese and leaves the crackers

Can’t wait to jump out of bed, go to the loo, strip naked and jump on the scale.(always before your first sip of water for the day)

You can take your jeans off without undoing the button!

You avoid coffee all day at work and have a 2 litre bottle of water on your desk,

There’s a charity food trolley and everyone donates cakes and cookies – you always contribute sausages on sticks
