In which I commit to losing weight in 2011

Published January 04, 2011

The way I use this blog is going to change. I am going to start being really blunt about how fat I am, and it's going to be bloody awful to read. I have no plans to apologise for this, but I do plan on being so candid that I really ought to.

At the beginning of December 2010 I was more than a little over 19 stone. Note that this was before Christmas. It is relevant that I'm just short of 6 foot and 2 inches tall; I would have to be well into 10 foot tall* for that weight to be normal. As of the new year I'm now hovering around 19 and a half stone.

By the end of 2011 I plan to be under 16 stone. This is 3 and-a-bit stone in one year, which I think is a fair amount to lose. It's also a safe amount*.

I will begin this year in earnest on 5th January 2011. The 1st, 2nd and third are a write-off anyway. And I may have eaten a chocolate orange today. Oops.

No hard feelings if you're one of my few subscribers, and feel the need to stop. I won't mind.

For the duration of this weight loss my "happy place" blog will be at my posterous
