- when you try it again a few months after that and think, hey, this is pretty good!

- when you try it again, you are actually thinking 'oh boy, I can have X...."

When you don't care who sees you licking out your lunch bowl.
When you realize you have walked around all afternoon with dried pudding/soup/drink in the side of your mouth from licking your lunch bowl.
When you later realize you missed the dried dot of pudding/soup/drink on your nose when you get home from licking your lunch bowl.
When you wonder 'WHAT HAPPENED TO WUV!' after 1 day of no posting!

Yea...we miss you WUV when you are out having fun! NO...we are NOT a bunch of STALKERS...just the crazy IP folks that love to hear your take on it all!

You know you are addicted to IP when...your stash of IP food starts to rival the clinic's stockroom...After all, you never know when a FREAK April snowstorm will keep you from getting your order!

You dont care that all your coworkers make fun of you for eating broccoli for lunch... and that it smells up the whole room for 5 minutes. I got excited today because I roasted my broccoli instead of sauteeing it and they laughed.. I dont care!

LOL!!

Was feeling a little down today for non-IP reasons, so I read over my collection of posts from this thread (I cut & pasted favorites into a sep word doc). Thought others would like to see it again.

Enjoy and add to it!

When I call my Chocolate Muscle Milk Lite, cold pressed flavored coffee, over ice a "MOCHA" and my friends laugh :)

When you brag to your spouse how awesome your IP chocolate drink is so he's tempted to taste and tells you how gross it tastes!

When you forget your WF dressing at home and lemon juice on your salad tastes amazing.

you've been so positive about the IP diet that your friends ask you "is that diet hard" (because you make it sound so easy & fun)

when your IP coach tells you he wishes he had more clients like you, because you are so thrilled with the diet, the journey and results!

When you start "seeing" the carbs people are wearing :)

Agree with pp about feeling guilty about taking communion at church :). I also wear the exact same outfit every week for weigh in!
