.......you take a bite of your child's peas with butter and they taste as sweet as candy!!! (And you feel like you are cheating!!!) LOL

...the kitchen smells like a beach (coconut oil).

Great prompt!

When the taste in your mouth is enough to make you not hungry!

...you eat a steak, served with a side of steak, and you feel no guilt!

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*

for me it's "when you try to add splenda to everything cause you are craving sweets"!!! lol Some of the concoctions I've came up with lately. hehe

Also when you find yourself actually licking the plate clean to something that was a carb treat. Done that!! lol

this thread seems familiar...

- when you talk about redecorating the house in ketostix colors (trace pink on the walls with a moderate to large trim).

- when you realize the center aisles of the grocery store are irrelevant.

- when you name your firstborn "DANDR".

- when groceries are low, you realize your pets are lowcarb.

- when you think a rotisserie chicken is the best birthday cake ever.

- when you can wax poetic about the joys of heavy cream for hours on end.

- when you can turn a ketostix pink just by breathing on it.

this is my personal favorite--made me LOL. Lots of funny stuff here though. Good thread.

Isn't that one of Santa's reindeer?



Another church story-- where we used to go was a really small congregation, and the pastor used one of those big, sweet round loaves of Hawaiin bread and gave all of us a big chunk! Then used very sweet wine.

When you wake up after an operation, and they offer you tea and toast, and you say "Don't you have any eggs?"

You know you're on Atkins when you order the salad with no croutons and extra, extra dressing on the side. Then if the meat is not seasoned to your liking, you dip it in the salad dressing (ignoring the other diners' steely glances). Also, when you can hear your mother's voice from the grave saying, "Oh honey, all that meat and fat and no fruit just can't be good for you..."

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?"

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 all your grocery list consist of is:

5 Dozen Eggs
Heavy Cream
Cream Cheese
Baby Spinach, Cabbage, Califlower, & Brocolli


...and when you consider 3 slices of bacon as dinner.

I love these...

YOU MIGHT BE ON ATKINS IF YOUVE...

....ever had a nightmare about mindlessly eating an ice cream cone and then jumping off a cliff

...had dreams about heaven and its a deep freezer filled with ribs and wings

...gone to a party, they order pizza and you packed a cooler with chicken breast, celery sticks and hard boiled eggs

...breathed on someone and they said "argh" and you say "thanks"

...come out of the bathroom jumping for joy and rambling about the color purple
