After having to many LC treats and what not over the holidays I put on a small amount of weight. It's not bothering me as much as it should becaus eI am still the lowest I have ever been in my life, though I would like to lose more. I went from bouncing around 131-132 to 136-138.

What is upsetting me is I seemed to have turned into a carb addict, even though I am eating LC. I do fine during the day, but in the evening Isnack like crazy. It starts as genuine hunger, but I keep going.

I've been looking at the carb addicts diet in order to get the snacking under control. It looks li ke a doable plan and I am eager to start.

The trouble is we are going to a family reuniun in a small CO town. We leave Wensday, having lunch in Cheyenne, then come back Sunday morning. There isn't even a walmart, the closest being an hour away in Ft. Morgan or Sterling. I have no idea what the food choices will be as I havn't met most of this part of the family *SO's Mother's side* and we will be staying at his ggrandmothers. My plan was to take a bunch of shakes and bars to at least nibble before meals if ther eisn't much there I can eat. That would be a no-no on CAD though.

My question is, should I go ahead and start CAD for the next 2 days as I am excited to start, then just do my best while visiting family? Or should I stick toAtkins and just try to control my snacking for the next few days and wait CAD until I get back? My main concern would b e to start CAD and before I can get blood chemistry balanced have to go off and end up doing more damage by doing the program then not.
