true story

you might be an atikineer if you take your family out to lunch and...

...eat a 14 oz steak, 10 spicy wings in ranch , a huge serving of broccoli, two cheese burgers and two diet pepsis...and a day later you are a lb lighter!!!...

(yeah, the two cheeseburgers were what my kids didnt eat...they just ate their fries and rolls and left the burgers for me...nice of them)

wowsers thats alot of food!

You might be on Atkins if your house smells like bacon all the time. lol

...if you have a copy of every edition of DANDR, including 1972 (before it was the "NEW" diet revolution.)

...if Fitday is your default homepage, or bookmarked at least.

...if you have stinky pee.

OMG this made me laugh out loud but it's SOOOOO true!

when you think nothing of leaving the grocery store with 16 chickens, a giant package of 2" thick pork chops, 2 packages of giant top sirloin steaks, a 6.5lb package of ground beef, and consider the bulk of your grocery shopping "done".

...If the grocery store runs a "buy one get on free" special on meat packages every time you are out of town for a week. I swear that happens in our small town....if i dont buy all the meat it just goes bad.

You know you are on Atkins when....
You wake your husband up to show him how purple your stick just turned!

You hesitate to throw away the stick when it's dark purple.

You have a horrible cough but refuse to eat any cough drops because the only ones in the house are full of sugar!

Oh yeah....done that!! LOL

Me too - same goes for Tums or Rolaids when you have heartburn! Actually, Mallox (sp?) tablets have 1 carb each. I had to rip off the outside paper to see the nutritional information - that is pathetic!

When you have to sell candy bars for a school fund raiser, and have no one to sell them to so you have to keep them. But --- you don't eat them!!!! $52.00 in candy. Can you believe it?

when, as a teacher, a bunch of students give you candy/cookies/cup cakes just before christmas break and you decide "they really dont like me"...

This is the list of your favorite movies:

The Color Purple

Cool Hand Luke

Hamburger Hill

Meat The Parents

Your favorite Christmas character:

Olive, the Other Reindeer

Joe

When your favorite breakfast is cold, leftover roasted chicken wings and you just can't wait to eat them.

You know you're on Atkin's when your perfume is au de George Forman grill.

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.
