Amanda, I so understand!

I had been doing everything Atkins for several months when I ran into an unexpected brick wall. We decided to go to KY for my husband's annual family reunion over Memorial Day. My youngest daughter set her wedding day in TX on the 27th of June. What to do! We attended the reunion, visited cousins in DC, visited friends in IL, back to TX for the now canceled wedding - well you get the picture, 6,000 miles of extended travel.

The first two weeks I may have fallen here and there, but always managed to pick myself right up and regain my determination. But then one day I fell face first into the carb pile, and I've pretty much stayed there.

I posted my confession to ADBB and got such wonderful support! But until today, when I read your post, I was still just lying there! Your post made me realize it was time to once again, pick myself up and get back on track!

To that end, I'm going to join you in doing a clean induction (I'll be a day behind, since for me today is over), hold you up and hold you responsible, and I know you'll do the same for me. Together, and with the help of the wonderful people on ADBB, we can reach our goals and make our dreams come true!
