Thought it would be fun to make a list of the EM2WL characteristics. Just quote and keep only the list to add to so we can end up with a cumulative list. I'll start.
You know you EM2WL when:
You jump out of bed in the morning and instead of rushing to the scale, you rush to the mirror and flex

You can eat halloumi! I'd never have allowed myself to eat it when on VLCDs but have just rediscovered it and realised it's a super source of protein as well as totally delicious 0

...your girlfriends set up a girls' weekend at a cabin, & while they're talking about how healthy they're going to eat with you around, you're fantasizing about eating ALL THE FOOD. And going for a nice long run in the mornings so you can come back & go for a walk with everyone else. :bigsmile:0

You often find yourself saying, "I need to eat more."0

Your food diary looks like a book instead of a few random thoughts0

I usually follow that up with "I need to eat more protein"
When I look at the message boards and the topic is "help I can't lose weight" I'm 99% sure they're eating 1200 cals and working out 7 days a week for 2 hours. I've stopped opening them.0 -
You can't help but feel extremely irritated when you realize you won't be able to fit in a good workout.0

When you plan your meals, not to make sure you don't go over on calories, but so you use up your calories and you get enough protein.0

When you are not mean & cranky from not eating AND you don't celebrate "sticking to your diet" by eating a whole kiwi vs. just a slice.
Yes ...there was a poor soul who posted her celebratory eating of a whole kiwi. Sigh.0 -
You live your life. You choose to be healthy and work out and EAT....
And you are much more pleasant to be around because you are not always on a diet and denying yourself stuff....
My favorite takeway from EM2WL is this "what foods are restricted" "none". Thank you Lucia & Kiki!0 -
When the guys at work (I'm the only girl there) say "wow.......you're always eating, but your butt looks smaller."0

*When you are out grocery shopping, with a fully loaded cart, and your pants start to flap in the breeze and then proceed with a downward shimmy to land dangerously low on your hips, just a hair's breadth away from public embarrassment. (If you can't tell, I need new clothes.
:laugh: 
)
*People do a triple take between you and your overloaded grocery cart.0 -
