The new year has finally arrived and I have decided to get my life in order. I have been single for the past 10 years with the odd fling along the way, and don't get me wrong I have been very happy bringing up my 10 year old daughter alone. I have many friends and have a good social life but lately I have been feeling very lonely so I have decided to do something about it.

I am going to find myself a decent man (if there is any out there, I live in hope lol). I need a plan of action. So first things first - at this moment in time I am a size 16/18 with the mind of a size 10/12 so I think I need to get the body to match the mind. So here comes the dieting and the fitness programme. I cycle or walk to work everyday so thats the fitness side of things taken care of, my problem is that living alone with a child is fine until said child goes to bed. Its then that the crisps come out and believe me I can eat my own body weight in crisps if felt that way inclined. Question is... am I eating my emotions? I don't think so, am I eating because I am bored? not sure, am i eating because I like crisps and I am addicted to them? most probably. So what to do about the addiction to crips... write this blog. It gives me something to do, it might even stop me eating crisps. So my plan of action has started, I'm giving myself one year to get a new me and a new man...
