Great advice from everyone here - I am proud of you all

One thing not mentioned here is what I would do - contact the catering manager of the 'do' and tell him/her that you cant have sugar and ask them to supply something you can eat instead!! A nice cheese board selection would be one possibility, and even if they supply crackers with it you dont have to eat them!

I attended an (expensive) '10 course Edwardian banquet' in my first few weeks of induction and not only did the head waiter position himself nearby to tell me exactly which dishes would be suitable for us but they supplied a couple of extra 'legal' dishes for me and my husband too!

I must admit I did eat more vegetables than the 3 cups that evening but apart from that I was able to stick to the rules and ate only a few carbs over my 20 net carbs that day.

I had emailed the catering manager the week before hand and sent her the allowed list for induction so she and her chef could use their initiative and they accepted the 'challenge' and were pleased to help me stick to my 'diet'.

Your weight on the scale matters not one bit. Ever. You can lose entire sizes on ATKINS and see no scale movement at all. Remember to focus on losing inches and how your clothing fits and throw that silly time wasting, peace destroying scale out the window.

Eat healthy and make yourself an Atkins friendly dessert to have before or after your fancy pants din din. Plenty of great recipes here online.

Other people may never get what is at stake for us sugar addicts. One bite can destroy our resolve, yes, it can.

What if you were attending AA and were offered an alcoholic drink? Would you make the excuse you can't get out of that one drink? Yes, its THAT serious.

Stand up for yourself. Be honest. To thine own self be true.
