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

[*Alexa*]

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.

When someone condemns your way of eating, and you just space them off! Because YOU KNOW!!!

#5 and 8 are exactly what I do, that's so funny.

I'll add....

When you keep string cheese and nuts in a ziploc baggie in your purse for "just in case" while you're out running errands.

When you know 101 ways to eat/cook cheese, cabbage, and zuchinni

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.

Fruit tastes better than it ever has before.

When you look at what other eat with amazement and even disgust.

when you pick up a chocolate bar in the check out isle and read the carb count and return it to its place in the box with not a second thought

AS I DID JUST YESTERDAY WITH A "KIT KAT"

[Labarum]

No No No

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

when you can do fitday in your head and never go to the site.
