FitDay ...

I will get up early in the morning and go for a jog ...

I will not eat chocolate today, or cake. Not one single biscuit ... even if it is sitting begging on the staffroom table.

I will be strong ... as a teenager's dirty socks. I will succeed.

FitDay is a great idea. I have been to the site, registered, and made a list of my sins (groan). There is something sobering about seeing them offically listed. I am not going to tell you my total calories consumed. That is between me and my new friend Mr FitDay. But, needless to say, there is room for improvement.

The limitations of the site are that it is American. Their brands and servings are different to ours. They also talk in pounds and ounces.

The site has an emphasis on packaged and pre-prepared foods as opposed to plain simple foods. You type in fruit and it brings up so many options - with cream, with marshmallows, with syrup. What ever happened to peeling a banana, I ask you?

I think, if I was serious about losing weight, nutridiary might be best, because of the social networking component.

On the whole, however,I think online dieting would not work for me. I mean, if Lindt chocolate wasn't listed, and I only ate a small piece, a broken piece for example, with all the calories leached out of it, I would not need to declare it. Would I?
