So I'm going to keep a crappy, daily diary here of my progress with weight over the next 4 months. I feel its the only way to keep myself on the straight and narrow. I start today at 125.5kgs (277lbs)
I had my first breakfast protein shake today and going to see if that helps assuage my cravings for carbs before lunch. Hopefully this effort won't succumb to the same problems as it did last time, where I went back to cookies and bread at the first opportunity. I had a lapse on Sunday evening, but I need to fit a good suit for my best friend's wedding, and I will succeed this time.
I know the key to my inner happiness is weight. My most confident time was just after uni when I lost 2 stone. I can do it again.

Brewster Cannot Write - Boredom and Fear
So another blog started by a nameless nobody on the internet. 1 of a 1,000,000 to add to the list of those being written and, more than likely, never read. So then, why write a blog in the first place then?
I was told by a good friend's Dad, back when I was at my last year at school, that although we were both taking on Science/Numerical based degrees, we should both find a way to continue to write. His theory was that it was essential to keep both sides of the brain alert as well as the fact that almost all forms of work require the ability to put your thoughts onto paper, or now, onto computer.
And how I wish I'd heeded those words.
When I started my first proper job after university, the thing that scared me the most, and was subsequently brought up as my main problem was my ability to write reports. The biggest issue was starting them. I usually set about plagiarising a previous year's report or a friend's. Each year I'd ask to be put on a course, but unfortunately, this never materialised.
My poor writing skills followed me into my second job and even writing this first blog. My writing is just a stream of conciousness and this ends up being poorly planned out riddled with grammatically errors. This also leads to my inclusion of far too much detail in my writing, which for my jobs, is a real cardinal sin.
So that's the first reason to write this blog. An attempt to try and force myself to try and become a better writer through a attrition, as well as hope to become less scared of writing.
The second reason is to have some sort of outlet, outside of a couple of forums, for writing about things I love. From tech to games, to all sports, I would like to find a medium to express my loves and dislikes about the things that grab my attention. I will try and make nothing off limits, but tech and sports will hopefully be and give me a focus to my writing.
Ultimately, the blog is a selfish idea, but a necessary one. I'm writing as if to myself and hopefully some good can come out of that.
