    When you're out with a friend at a Mexican restaurant and you order the fajitas sans the tortillas and no rice or beans. She orders a huge chimichanga platter w/ rice and refried beans w/ extra tortilla chips.

    Then she looks at me and says "ya know all the meat you're eating will kill you and aren't ya worried about having a heart attack." I told her there's more veges on my plate than meat. So she just gave me this disgusted look and said "yeah well I guess I'll be visting you in the hospital."

    My response was "yeah well, opinions are like *kitten* everyone has one, but some holes just talk more than others!"

    I just can't stand it when people think they know what's better for you than you do!!

    When you have 7 bags of non-wheat-flour flour-y looking products all stashed in your freezer, including "guar gum".

    1. You order a hamburger without the bun.
    2. You ask the waitress to substitute vegetables in place of the rice or potatos.
    3. Your vegan wife thinks you are trying to kill yourself because you are eating meat -- despite that fact you have lost almost 60lbs and all the bio-markers were great on the last blood test.

    When you say "sorry I'm on a diet, can we go somewhere I can have bacon and eggs or a big meaty hamburger?"

    when...
    you laugh at the little message after you click "complete this entry" on your MFP food journal and it says- "If every day were like today..." and it tells you you'd gain weight, but the scale keeps going down!:laugh:

    Is it wrong to feel sorry for the poor saps that are starving and eating rice-cakes and apples all day as I dig into my 8oz ribeye & broccoli smothered in butter?

    ... you think a V8 vegetable juice is insanely sweet.

    Mind, I still can't drink coffee without sweetener...

    When you order a medium pizza all for yourself and scoop up all the toppings and put onto your little pizza plate in a giant gooey pile and dig in!

    Then the waitress looks at the entire pizza dough crust empty and you are certain she is thinking you are crazy.

    ...when you go to subway, ask for the philly cheesesteak on a salad, and the lady looks at you like you have 3 heads. :laugh:

    Really though, they have to charge me $2 extra to ditch the bread?! :huh:

    know carb count before calorie count....

    look at the label and go to the carbs before anything else.....

    This is me! Who cares how many calories it has if the carbs are too high?

    Me too! Right there with ya!

    ...and me!

    OMG I can't even count the number of times that I want a coffee and when I ask about heavy cream they look at me like I'm some sort of psychopath. But of course they have non-fat milk, 1%, 2%, half and half, and soy milk....

    Ummm, pretty much all of that is crap IMO and doesn't taste as good as rich creamy heavy whipping cream in a nice quality cup of coffee.

    You know you are low carb when:

    You're eating your steak and vegtable lunch while your co workers look on enviously while eating their rice cakes and other high carb fare. Of course when asked you just say you're cutting out junk otherwise you'll get "The Speech" about how that steak and veggies will kill you and/or make you fat (when you've lost more weight than the rest of them combined last year). :laugh:
