.......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!

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.

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

...when you strip naked because you're convinced that two socks and a pair of undies is causing your scale to read six pounds heavier.

someone gushes on and on about how great you look. They ask how you did it, you tell them, Atkins, and they still roll thier eyes.

Your dh brings your ds home from McDonald's and says he peeled the breading off his nuggets...........

when pork rinds make the best french toast

you might be on atkins if:

you accidentally ate a piece of popcorn and tested three times before bed to see if you were still in ketosis.

you have ever framed a ketostick under glass

call your friends with "great news" only to discuss how much wt you have lost

look years younger

recently threw out all of your pain medicine

get sick just looking at bread

consider a hotdog as "good for you"

I also find the bread aisle at the grocery store smells toxic...it actually gives me a headache!!

...when very overweight people tell you that Atkins is bad for you (like my 2 sisters do allllll the time)
