Smug
Of course I started looking into which foods have most carbs, then got drawn into the Glycemic Index, the Glycemic load, the Insulin index... Blimey it's confusing. Basically I want someone to tell me what to eat and when, but that's not going to happen.
So I'm now on my third full day and, while I'm blooming hungry, I'm also smug! I can do this. And when I'm skinny and fitting into those size 18 dresses again, I will be even more smug. My husband, who said he would diet with me, is ignoring what I'm doing and, so far, has continued as normal. I know I should gently remind him of what he said because, when he realises he is still overweight, it is me that will have to listen to his moaning. But can I stand him acting like a bear with a sore head because he's hungry? So for now, I can turn down the late evening chocolate biscuit and watch him eat it, while feeling smug.
What I have learned so far...
So I looked on a diabetes forum for reviews on helpful apps. I downloaded a couple to have a play with and settled on keeping "Nutracheck".
Of course it is designed as a weight loss app but, since my current goal is to lose weight, while watching my carb intake, with a bit of faffing I could set it up to show me the info I wanted. I have set my goal to lose 10Kg (10%) and it tells me that can be achieved by April 21st. Hmmm...

What I have learned so far...
- · All nice things contain too many carbs
- · Don't go near the fruit juice
- · I can resist a chocolate biscuit if I want to
- · I prefer cereal to eggs for breakfast, so I'm going to alternate.
Current weight - 99.5Kg
