We buy a big jar of whatever "regular" PB is on sale and mark the lid with a sharpie "DOGGY PB". This is to warn visiting family that it might have a double dip with a knife/spoon filling a doggy kong. The "people" PB is in the fridge.
You know you're a SB junkie when you are constantly mentally or out loud adjusting recipes to make them SB friendly.
OK....my turn....
You know you're a SBD junkie when you have a menu spread sheet that you fill out every week to guarantee that you have planned your meals and snacks and that you are getting enough veggies and beans
When you feel deprived if you run out of frozen spinach to put in your morning protein shake.
When steel-cut oats, nonfat milk, and cinnamon tastes just exactly sweet enough.
When your husband says, "Let's have a dinner salad tonight, I'm feeling salad-deprived since we only had green beans and broccoli the last two nights."
When you pull 3 or 4 packages of fruits and vegetables out of your lunch cooler, put them on your desk, and beam happily at the bounty of food before you.
When your 7 year old son claims to actually like the broccoli you've just cooked, after months of gagging and whining!
When you have sugar-free vanilla ice cream in the freezer, and natural sugar-free fruit preserves to mix in to make a yummy fruit ice cream, and yet...you...just aren't that interested, because you're not hungry.
When the feeling of having an empty stomach is not all that bad, because your blood sugar is so stable now there's no crashing. So "hunger" doesn't mean desperation to eat.
All this stuff happened to me this past week. And has been happening. It's pretty amazing. Heck, my weight loss is pretty amazing to me, too. It feels like it shouldn't be this easy!
......when you make a big roast pork dinner for visitors and forget that they always want potatoes. We did have roasted broccoli and cauliflower, green beans, tomatoes with pesto and a spinach/mushroom/red pepper salad.
You know you're a SB junkie when you get strange looks from the guy x-raying your carry-on at the airport security because you have it filled with hardboiled eggs, string cheese, nuts, and packs of tuna.
When you look in your fridge and think "food aplenty" and your son comes over and looks in your fridge and comments "how do you do it? Not having any food in the house all the time?"

Very true - and my dogs don't seem to like it as much as the other! Please don't judge them!
