Dear readers, I have decided to use this blog space to document my up hill struggle with weight and loosing it. How can anyone want to be thin in such a land fruited with goodies and Taunton is no exception.

An ill fated cheese board landed in my stocking this year, before i received this lovely gift i wasn’t a huge cheese fan, but my good lord how I eat the forsaken food. We as taunotnions don’t realise the cheese gold mine we sit on, with local produce readily available, its not just a dirty French product....its beautiful! Ben eats cheese, first point lost!.........Fat 1 Ben 0

Anyone who has read my previous posts you will understand that i love cider, its so good and right, i cant quite explain how you have to have real scrumpy instead of this magnars....this is Somerset you yuppy! Cloudy farmhouse is what you need not this carbonated nats piss! (Sorry Leon for using the word "PISS" on your web site....the rant-o-meter is up to F'ing + Jeffing........I'll turn it down to Narked!!) pint after pint i can spend the night with this magical elixir god bless cider....magnars drinkers.....YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!.....................Fat 2 Ben 0

Christmas time, two weeks of eating drinking and being merry, this is my favourite time of the year, i love to eat and i love to drink so quite naturally, any holiday that includes lots of both is a good one in my book! though when was this unwritten rule added to the Christmas book that your body will involuntarily eat everything it sees, its like your hands have covert instructions to pick up anything that looks quasi edible.....You left from this blessed festive period feeling fat and down......down cause you've eaten too much, down cause you’ve drank too much and down because your sister, mother and girlfriend have formed such a board game alliance their almost unstoppable!! Do i want to hate on Christmas merely because i come away a few pounds heavier!? NO WAY!! if there’s one thing rugby has taught me, its the bigger you are, the harder you hit!!..................Fat 3 Ben 0

That’s all for today, i like this blog lark....gives me a place to prattle!!!

Be lucky all, -B x
