spotted a low carber at the store

The pork rinds gave it away. . .saw those and then looked in the cart. ..eggs, cheese, salald. .. by the time I was done assessing the cart contents the owner of the art had walked up and I pratically hugged her saying "Your low carbing aren't you?" Yes she and her dh were starting that week. . .oh wow a low carb virgin! WOOHOO!!! Well you can be sure I gave her an earfull of info. . .and everytime I saw her in the store I remembered something else to say. .. I began to worry that she would think I was stalking her. redawn

"Low carb virgin" - excellent!

My sister just started low carbing this week, too. Before this, I really tried NOT to push anything lc - actually, I swung the other way and totally avoided talking about anything low carb at all.

Now, I have been just talking here ear off about lc - she's gonna really get sick of me soon!

My cashier at the grocery store on Sunday looked at my groceries and told me she had lost over 100 pounds on Atkins! We had a nice chat and she told me about a local lowcarb store I didn't even know existed. I haven't had a chance to go there yet, but I plan to check it out next weekend.

My hubby has been doing the shopping lately, he got in the habbit after our youngest was born, and I never encouraged him to give it up

He says the other day a cashier told him she had seen LOTS of people with carts full of the same stuff he had. She wondered what was going on. He smiled and explained about lowcarbing. Then the other day when he went, him and another lady were reaching for the porkrinds together... they looked at eachothers carts and smiled... they were both full of lowcarb stuff. They had a long talk about lowcarbing. He also directed her to this website/fourm... so hopefully she'll find her way here.

I think it's become a big trend where I live, because the Mayor of our city announced about a month ago that he'd lost 50lbs on Atkins. hehe I wonder if the store managers know what's going on, and why they keep running out of porkrinds.

Another thing, I saw an advertisment for Atkins LowCarb products on TV the other day. Was very cool, now that more of the mainstream market is being exposed to it, there should be more and more products out there to give us more variety.
