And so it begins: my once of a lifetime trip to Slendordom. Skinnysville. Twiggytown. Call it what you like, it still seems a long way off to me, which is rather why I only plan on going once (somewhat like Alaska).
If you don't mind, I am going to chronicle my journey here. Why? For a number of reasons, including:
a) apart from my flatmate, no-one knows I am undertaking this diet. I simply couldn't bear the interrogation from third parties;
b) so that when I am feeling down I can look back and see how far I have come; and finally
c) in case anyone out there feels the same as I do.
I don't expect anyone to reply or comment. With a board as productive as this, there are many ongoing threads and I will feel no hardship or abandonment if you'd rather play the word association game than listen to my trite mumblings! Even if nobody cares to read, the very knowledge that my weight is public information will inspire me enough to reduce it. In fact, if I could somehow get the BBC to broadcast it on their nightly news I might suddenly become the first person to drop ten stone in a weekend. God knows how...
(and incidentally God, if you exist, and you happen to be reading, do us all a favour and tell us how).
So here I am, waiting for my boss to leave the office before I submit my first post, and dreaming of the day when I can submit my last.
Much love,
Hungry Hippo
