ok, so i've pretty much 100% decided that i will be starting atkins on 1/1/04. but, as i read, i'm finding myself craving atkins approved food like never before! there are so many recipes i want to try, and i want bacon and eggs for breakfast, etc. etc. etc.!!! however, i know that when i am home with my family for a week at christmas, and through the office and church holiday parties, i am not ready to be starting induction right now. i'd like to go ahead and start cooking and trying to eat like i'm on induction NOW, but i am afraid that if i do, and i go off the WOE for the parties and the week at home, that i will really screw up my induction in january - that i wont lose as much or something.

am i nuts to worry about this, or should i continue to eat as i am now and just go full bore in january? help!!
