New to Adkins- made it through induction!

[June30]

Hi, I am new and have keep a low profile with my adkins diet for the last two weeks. It hasn't been easy but i have found if I keep the right foods in my fridge and prepare i can stay on track. I am trying to focus on a far off date for my goal rather than the immediate gratification of the weekly scale weigh in.. It seems to help.
I tend to be a stress eater and in the last 4 years have gained approx 22 pounds. A big stress factor for me is my young son is on his 2nd tour in the middle east.
I'm glad I found this fourm to give me tips, ideas, receipes and hope when i see other achieve their goals!

Hello and welcome to the boards. You should be proud...you are the mother of an American Hero! Tell your son thank you for me (a marine). Thank him for keeping me and my family safe. We will pray for him; for his safety and strength. God be with you and your son. Draw from his strength and you will have no problem with this WOE. :thup:
