To blog, or not to blog… that is the Fat-Fighting question.

Excuse me while I hoist myself up onto my soapbox again, I still have a tad of self-indulgent writing left in me tonight.

I want to explain why I write this blog. Not justify, not make excuses for, but just give reasons in the slight chance someone has pondered the matter (which I found out tonight at least one Chronicles reader has, actually).

There isn’t one reason, there is, as there always is with me, a long-winded, redundant list of things. These are in no particular order, I am, as they say, brain-farting (I blame the chickpeas, god do I blame the chickpea).

- Weekly Ritual (Keeps a girl from straying too far from her Fat-Fighting mission)

- Dear Diary (I’m no Kylie Mole or Anne Frank, but whatevs)

- Accountability (Simple – I am responsible for my own actions and this blog is a record of that)

- Goal setting (By broadcasting my goals, I want to prove to myself – and every darling Chronicles reader – that I can and will do it)

- Confessional (Who needs church when you can step into the Fat-Fighting Confessional and come clean about your Britney-esque binges?)

- Opportunity to toy with the English language (Always fun to write for a lass who digs her A, B, Cs)

- Reflection (Ahhhh, nothing like a good pontification sesh after a stressful Fat Fighters week)

- Support (Yes, I’m talking to you)

- Soapbox (I like the spotlight, what can I say…)
