Well I am definitely off the zone bus tonight, but I have had a good LONG think to myself, and my decision is to go back on the core plan. Its basically eat 3 meals a day from the list of free foods, and if you are hungry between meals, then the only thing you can snack on are fruit or vegetables, but only if you are genuinely hungry.
Things are better at home, but I haven't tackled any of the issues, I have just put them to the back of my mind, and perhaps save them for a rainy day. I have the silences, and even though I feel a little like I have given in, I also feel that I have risen above HIM and CAN ignore his remarks which really did hurt. His BLOODY LOSS.
Well today the food changed from the above list, with the addition of 9 (yes 9!!!) after eight mints. I didnt realise they are 35 calories each - why didnt I look first? However, too late now, and tomorrow is definitely my first day on core. I know the free foods as I have done this diet in the past and its how I lost the weight on WW, but if anyone is interested, I will look for the full list for you.
Molly, even though I am doing the core plan, I with very little knowledge of low GI/GL will try to make it as GI/GL friendly as possible, so when I do post my menu's, if you have any suggestions to lower the GI index, then please please feel free to share your knowledge to make it lower.
I feel better that I have come to the decision that I KNOW I can stick to.
Oh also to the list tonight is just over half a bottle of Pinot Grigio

Oh Mary, you are in control again!!! Good for you.
Your core plan reads to me as very Gi friendly with things like:
Only one meal a day to include wholemeal ingredients
Canned fruit drained( to limit sugar)
No added sugars etc
I'll be sure to chip in on your menus, if I can help.
Good to see you more positive. There is still a good run up to Xmas, so you can drop a few pounds by then.

Oh ok. Then why not save the egg for your snack. For protein at brekkie, 15g mixed seeds will do instead with your porridge along with the milk. It does for GL, anyway.
