Hello diet – is it me you're looking for?

14st 7lb

Today I decided that I will lose three stone.

This wasn't a decision taken on a whim. Between interviews I didn't just say 'I'm going to lose three stone.... and are you making a brew?' I guess this has been something I've, well needed, to do for a while but have been putting off. Why?

Simple. I love food far too much to entertain dieting.

Diet. Ewww. Even the word makes me shudder, never mind the actual of reality of it. Be rest assured though I'm not one of those girls. You know the type I mean. The ones always on diets and boring everyone around them with the 'I'm on a diet' chat. Snooze a thon. Diet club girls make sick, I'll never be one of those that's for sure.

But I need to shed the pounds and what better way to do it than in a blog from? That's how 2010 I am.

I'll blog my dieting, each week placing my new weight at the top. I'm hoping that entering my weight in the World Wide Web will shame me into actually losing weight.

I hope if you're reading this now you'll come back again and see how I am getting on. I need you, you see. I need you to contact me if I haven't put an entry up for a while and simply say 'Eh, fatty! Fallen off the wagon?' Or maybe some simple nice words of encouragement will do.

So there it is. My weight. For all to see at the top. I know you're all gasping as you see it. 'Wow, that is heavy,' you will be saying. And quite frankly, you're not wrong. But there is no time to dwell on it, oh no. I have a diet plan to prepare.

So wish me and the ever increasing double chin luck. I've got a feeling I may need it....
