Default The Induction Blues :(

Bleh, just weighed myself after about 4 days and found out I gained a pound or something. I am so depressed I think I pigged out on veggies today. I'm on my 10th (11th?) day of induction and I am just NOT losing anything anymore. And it was all going so well too, the first 2 days....

I eat very little carbs, I eat tons of mayo and olive oil with my food, I exercise everyday (aero, weight training), have my daily vitamins and drink so much water I'm growing gills. Have I missed anything? I have none of the problems Atkins mentioned (or so says my doctor). My ketostix say I'm in ketosis still.

And yet I weigh the same. At first I was determined, then confused... now I'm just depressed. I mean this is induction, this is where the weight is suppose to come off... and it isn't. I've done everything, I've taken all the advice... I've been so careful, tried to make sure I followed everything and erred on the side of caution. And yet.... nothing. I mean its one thing when you KNOW where the problem is but I'm totally lost. And honestly, I don't know what else to do. My first impulse is to eat less or cut the fat but you're not suppose to do that on Atkins. So I'm stuck. Maybe I'll do that drastic diet thing he recommends, but its a last resort.

Okay, I know there are greater problems in the world then the fact I can't get my weight down (and thus shouldn't act like its a natural disaster) but... it's just REALLY REALLY getting to me.

Some advice maybe? Words of wisdom? Enlightening answers that will tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks everyone, sorry this is so depressing, I'm generally a cheerful person but I've tried sooo hard and it would be nice to see the scale go down just a tiiiiny bit...
