    You eat a filling and satisfying bfast every morning of an egg fried in butter, covered in provolone melted cheese, with a creamy coffee and your blood sugars barely budge!

    Carrots go from being a "health food" to an occasional "treat". I can't believe how sweet they taste now that I don't eat sugar!

    ... you can't read the general mfp forums without cringing the whole time... with some discussions being almost physically painful to read...

    Or you feel really bad for these "I'm under my calories but not losing, help!" threads. Then you see what they're eating and aren't surprised.

    Imagine my horror when I found out that my new family practice physician is vegan!! He otherwise seems quite reasonable and conservative and not a pill pusher so I'll stick with him, perhaps dabbing a little bacon grease on my pulse points before each visit, like the wicked temptress I am.

    ...you do not feel the slightest bit of guilt purchasing the half gallon of heavy whipping cream at CostCo.

    ...you use cherry tomatoes the way you used chocolate candy. Yum, how sweet and delicious... and you stop at 2 or 3, having satisfied that sweet craving.

    ... your sister-in-law tells you that on numerous occasions she has caught your 4-year-old niece eating sticks of butter, and you think, "that's my kind of girl!"

    When your argument with a 'weight-loss expert' at work goes something like this:
    Him: I got a degree in this and work with John Hopkins!
    You: So did the people recommending cigarettes in the 1950s. Here are some books, articles and research about this topic.
    Him: ...

    You cringe in horror when you take orders for a Starbucks run and everyone wants a skinny, non-fat latte!!!

    You want to cry when you see your mother-in-law bring out the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" spray for her bread. Oh I totally believe it's NOT butter.

    You want to slap people who suggest switching to low fat or skim milk with whole grain cereal for breakfast in order to be "healthy".

    When the freezer in your garage goes from:

    Top Shelf: Ice Cream and Popsicles -> Turkey and Pork
    Middle Shelf: Frozen pasta, gnocchi and potatoes -> Beef
    Bottom Shelf: Frozen corn, nasty freezer meals, random meat and more dessert type things -> Chicken

    The only other thing in my freezer besides meat at the moment is some frozen lobster bisque, seafood and a small package of no sugar added fudgecicles. Went to Costco for a meat haul this past weekend and it was fun!
