I don't want anyone else to fail their first two weeks and waste time like I did so I am putting down some of the mistakes I made to maybe stop anyone else from doing the same things...
I was eating slim jims and thought because they are meat it would be ok. Don't eat any processed meats!!!!!!
I was drinking crystal light like crazy and letting it be a way for me to feed my sweet cravings. Very bad idea. You need to starve your sweet cravings and not feed them.
I was eating sugar free pudding and sugar free cool whip as a parfait. While it was VERY yummy it was high in carbs and not allowed in induction!!! Again, DO NOT feed your sweet cravings at all.
I was eating maple syrup on my sausages. Even though it was sugar free it still had a lot of carbs and I was once again feeding my sugar cravings and making the diet harder on myself.
I was eating salami and I guess there is a good chance because salami is processed there may be sugar in it. Just stay away from processed meats all together in my opinion.
I has sour cream on Christmas eve and it seemed to slow me down. I would stay away from sour cream during induction since it is only 2 weeks (unless you just can't help yourself and then you are only allowed to have 2 table spoons so make sure you don't think that it's like meats where you can eat as much as you want).
I wasn't drinking all of my water and to be honest and still having a hard time with that especially now that I can't have my crystal light, but I am working on it.
I was taking a multi vitamin and I am now and my leg cramps are gone, hopefully for good!
I really hadn't been counting my carbs and just assuming that if I was from the ok foods then I was fine. I was going waaaaaay over my 20 carbs each day and didn't even know it.
Those were my mistakes and why I failed. I hope this helps people to see that you can't half a** this diet.

I was very sad to find out that I wasted all of that time and hard work but am proud of myself for not just giving up out of rebellion after that. I can be very rebelious 
I regret it but am still proud of myself for not eating any of the food at the party. You should have seen the spread they had! The only thing I was able to eat was the cheese. I would have eaten some of the guac (however you spell that) but it didn't sound good to me without a chip so I passed. 
well done for finding out in advance so you will know what not to order
