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 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...

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...
  • · 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
