Welcome to the Dieting Daisy Blog.
To be launched on the 3rd July 2006. This will be a record of a sponsored diet on behalf of Radio Solent's Daisy Appeal, raising money for the Wessex Cancer Trust.
1 in 3 is too many
1 in 3 people suffer with some kind of cancer in their lives. Three people have had cancer in my immediate family and my Step Father died from the effects of cancer on Christmas Day 2003. So I have a personal interest in doing anything to help research into the care and treatment of cancer sufferers. I am not vastly wealthy but I thought one way to raise money and to do myself some good was to do a sponsored weight loss. I have a lot of weight to lose and have been dieting a long time (all my life it seems) , so a boost in motivation is needed and this seems a perfect opportunity.
I first heard about the Daisy Appeal on Julian Clegg's Breakfast Show (which is the best Breakfast Show ever) a few months ago. Many people are doing many things to raise money. It's fantastic.... People are bravely breakfasting with 100s of other people (personally I find it h
ard to string 2 words together before 10 am!!) , there have been the Daisy Dancers, Runners, Walkers, Coffee and Cake Makers (better keep away from them!!). Loads of people are coming together.If I manage to do this I will seriously change shape, having over 10 more stone to lose, the weight of another person !! So you can follow my progress here please feel free to email me on
dietingdaisy@hotmail.co.uk or comment on this blog . All recipe's for chocolate cake with no calories will be gratefully received!!
Be back soon with update and some pictures hopefully.
