Default I've been abandoned, need a new buddy!

Hi,
I posted this on the Atkins board, but I figure it could be useful to repeat it here.
Today my Atkins "buddy" informed me that she has given up. I am furious at her because we just started Atkins on Monday! Anyway, I'm really nervous about making it through induction alone (and future phases too), so I am in search of a good buddy. Maybe email?
let me know if you are interested!
Please!!!

Hey Kris.... so sorry to hear that your buddy dropped out on ya. It's great that you stuck with it though. I'm more than willing to be your buddy, also we have a buddy thread going on called "need a buddy". There are about 4 or 5 of us. Althought I'm in my 2nd month of Atkins, I'm doing strict induction, and I know how hard it can be. Well hope that you have a great Friday night! Take care.

Default a journal!

A good idea would be for you to start a journal. That way, your buddies can stop in and check on you - and you can return the favor in our journals!

See you in the funnies!

If you are her buddy you should be trying to help her and figure out how you can help her continue -it is a tough time for her.

You can be your own best friend and show strength and realize that you are the one in charge of your success.

Thanks everyone!
I appreciate your willingness to help me get through these first 2 weeks. I will start a journal (if I can figure it out) and will check out the need a buddy thread.
thanks so much!

Oh and once your original buddy sees how fantastic you are going to start to look in the weeks to come, they may just hop back on *grins*

So, how do we go about all this? Do we start a thread or just check eachothers journals?
Sorry, I'm clueless
