So, this is a blog.
Well, that feels reasonably clear and straightforward. But why bother? Who gives a fuck? So, from the very outset, I'm working on the principle that this could well end up being an online diary that is only ever really read by me, but with the naive hope someone else out there in the big, bad world might care as well.
The main reason I'm beginning this is purely selfish. I'm aiming to lose some weight and have been told that using something like a blog helps keep you accountable. It's very easy to lie to yourself (hence the need to get a bit of dieting done) but if it's out there in the world then, hopefully, it'll keep me a bit more honest. I guess we'll find out! However, as we all know, diets begin on Monday so I'm beginning this on a Saturday while finishing off the Pringles in the house and getting ready for Strictly Come Dancing tonight! No conflicts there!
I'm also hoping that this can work as a bit of cheap therapy. It's been a tough couple of years, despite the highs of getting married earlier this year and getting our puppy, Little Git-Face. Lovely Hubby and I live in a generally happy relationship, but illness, money and day-to-day bollocks has given us a little more than (in my opinion) our fair share of stress. So I'm going to burden the world with it instead and get my venting on.
So I think that's why I'm doing this. I can't guarantee fun, perceptive comments, searing social commentary or Bridget Jones-esque hilarity. But I aim to honestly record what happens, and fingers crossed the process will lead to a lighter body and soul for me!
Wow, that sounds selfish. Good start, Mrs H!
