When you find yourself arguing with labels while shopping (you can't be a protein bar if you have more carbs than protein!)
When one of the drawers in the refrigerator is dedicated to cheese!
I'll beat that! Lol
When your cheese drawer breaks because it's so heavy and you have to order a replacement on Amazon.
LOL No way!
My dedicated cheese drawer in the fridge was not big enough and was getting raided so I have aded to the fridge a large plastic tub just for extra supplies of cheeses and sausages dedicated to me.
There are mutterings about the number of cream cartons in the fridge.
I can see that the only outcome to please all will be self exile to using my own fridge.2 -

So true....My cheese drawer had to become a cheese shelf....Butter and sour cream included on that too!
Also....When you're burgers aren't fatty enough for you so you add a pat of butter on top while you're cooking them so it can melt into the meat....Seriously....it makes them soooo yummy!0 -
...when your dance partner tells you that she's been politely not mentioning the fact that your breath smells like nail polish remover for the past few weeks!9

On bbqpitboys.com, they have a recipe for a butter burger where they put a pat of butter inside the patty prior to grilling. I have been meaning to try this. Of course they completely mess it up by putting it on a bun, but I think a nice lettuce or swiss chard wrap would do nicely instead.2 -

When you get a sale notification from Amazon based on a wish list item of yours: Pickle Shots. Not only that, but apparently, you can purchase pickle juice by the gallon, or in the premium version, in smaller quantity. A full page email list of nothing but variations on pickle juice. BWAH HA HA HA!6

You find a new brand of pickles with less carbs and get overexcited and immediately buy several jars.4

I have 2 examples today.
Went for lunch with friends to a Mexican joint; ordered an al pastor burrito. I opened it up to eat the innards with a spoon and found rice and beans inside it. "That's strange, we're not in California." I thought to myself as I pitched it into the garbage. So it was an intermittent fast day inadvertently.
Came home from work tonight, 5 strips of bacon, 3 eggs, half an avocado, 8 jalapeno stuffed olives, 12 pepperonis, 2 slices of sharp cheddar... and when I was finished I licked the remaining bacon fat off of my plate because grams.
Still have 450 kcals left if I want that keto cheesecake I bought ingredients for.10 -
When searching restaurants.com you are upset that you can't filter by Keto . Had to just look for BBQ and Steak houses.3

When you're going to make chicken or tuna salad out of a can and you drink the salty liquid instead of draining it off. I may or may not also lick the congealed chicken fat off the lid of the can.1

When you've "re-appropriated" some salt packets from the gas station to keep in various places in case you feel your electrolytes going wonky, but then you spend time wondering whether they're a quarter of a teaspoon, or half. How much sodium am I getting???1

Bwahahah, or you choose the expensive Italian canned tuna because it's packed in olive oil you don't have to drain off! Plus it tastes waaaaay better.3 -
When you cry from happiness that, while the dietitian didn't know about keto, the gal working in the Healthfood section of Hy-Vee knew EXACTLY what the products you were talking about were and was able get you hooked up with the best options for the best prices.5
