It was hard not to laugh....

Last night at work they were talking about the company meeting Saturday morning before the store opens, they are serving bagels, and donuts, coffee. I figured out in my head I'd bring a lc egg salad sandwich on lc bread, and told a friend, then this really large girl says "Oh are you doing Atkins" and I said "Yes", and she said "oh all that fat can't be good for you".....I took one look at her and it was really hard for me to just smile, when I wanted to crack up right in her face!

I was w/ a friends and I bought my ds pretzel sticks./ Jesse asked, "mom, am i torchuring you?" I said, yes, they smell so good. The very overweight/obese cashier replied, "yes, they are good, I eat them all day"

I wanted to tell her about Atkins but I was new to it at the time. I feel really bad tht I didn't.

Well, I have to admit that a few years ago this guy at work went on Atkins to get ready for his destination wedding in Mexico. I didn't say anything to him but a coworker and I were talking about what he was eating and I said he's crazy--what the heck is he eating, cutting out food groups can't be good for you....yada, yada, yada. NOW, I'm eating crow (naturally LC :p ) and doing the same plan he was and somebody is talking about how crazy I am.... :lol: :lol:

love the cartoon as well :)
don't have a funny story but i was at a health food store the other day and met a guy who lost 100 lb on atkins. He still was fairly overweight, but was so committed to the program--kept analyzing the labels, told me how sugar alcohols cause stalls. It was so motivational! :)

marchbaby-- just wondering, your plan is Atkins nutritionals? does that differ from just atkins?...how so?

I've either seen it called that on the atkins website or on an Atkins product. When I find it, I'll post. Either way, it's Atkins as you know it.
