quick question

[loana]

I am in my 4th day of induction and down 6 lbs... Hubby and I got a gift certificate for Cheesecake Factory for our anniversary.. I'd like to wait until after the first 14 days but what will happen if I went and ate one meal? will I have to get back on day one of induction after that one meal? I know I probably will gain a couple of pounds but we never get to go out alone and he has never been there so we like to go sometime in the next week or two... what will I need to change? and hwta if I like go careless that one meal? I mean I know this will be a change of lifestyle but..what happens when you get a slip? you just get back up and work hard again right?

Why don't you go and eat an Atkins friendly meal instead? At most restaurants (including Italian ones), you can get a meal with Atkins friendly items---grilled or roasted meat, steamed or sauteed vegetable or a salad.

Here's a link to their menu:

Ask them to substitute the starchy side dish with another helping of the veggie. I do that at restaurants all the time and they don't mind the change.
