Default Made it through the holiday!

I went away this weekend to visit my parents for Mother's day. I am doing Atkins and was nervous about sticking to the plan. I can stick to my diet when I fix my own food and even when I'm at a restaurant (just order meat and veggies). But I get nervous if I have to eat someone else's food at their home. I called my mom before I left to let her know that I would only be eating meat, cheese, eggs and veggies. She said ok. But when I got there, they had bought soda, Doritos, crumb cake, pretzels, pancakes and my weakness - ice cream! My boyfriend was with me and even though he is not on a LC diet, he ate LC with me so it wouldn't be so tough. It was hard but we did it and I feel good that I didnt cheat. While my parents were eating ice cream, my boyfriend and I were eating mini- pizzas of LC bread (which I brought), pepperoni and cheese. I didnt lose any weight (because I didnt drink enough water) but I didnt gain any either. I feel good about this!
