    Good luck! You can do it...come back here when you have a moment of weekness and look at the before and afters...you will put down whatever you are holding that isn't on plan.

      clean the kitchen.. get rid of all the non atkins friendly stuff and stock up on cheese and eggs.. maybe boil some eggs and keep them in the fridge so that you can grab a couple quickly in the morning - keep salad greens and dressing close by for a quick salad, pre cook some chicken breasts and keep it in there too for a quick bite... i find if i prepare, then i wont blow it because i dont want to wait for things to cook

        I wondered how you had managed when you got home, Mike

        Sorry to hear it all went pearshaped for you, but glad to see you posting again.

        One member used to have this quote in her signature
        Failing to plan is planning to fail!
        so you need to get a plan into action!

        Have you explained to your family just what foods you are allowing yourself? Pinning a list up somewhere might help them keep you on track.
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

          HI Mike:

          Welcome back. I fell off the wagon too and running after it to jump back on has left me a bit out of breath. I'm here though. Sometimes when you fall once, you're stronger for the next time. I'll hope that such is the case for both of us.
