"Fat to Fittie"

One of the first thing’s to do when writing a blog, is to get the name right, no point in getting started till you have the brand sorted. With this in mind, I thought long and hard, I knew what I was going to write about, but needed a catchy title, something that described what my plan was. Strange thing is, after choosing it, my goal has changed. Originally, I was just looking to lose weight to finally get the op’s I’ve been waiting 10 years for, but after doing a bit of research on what it means, my aspiration has soared.

The plan was to plot the journey I’m taking in the title, from start to finish. First word’s easy, “fat” , that’s what I am and where I’m at, but where do I want to get to, fitter, thinner, skinny ? The word I chose was one my son uses, (got to credit him with it). so as I typed “Fitty” into google, it told me that according to the Oxford dictionary, it means “fitting, becoming, proper, suitable, subject to fits”. Yeah, not quite what I wanted. So I tried a different spelling, “Fittie” this unfortunately didn’t show up in the Oxford dictionary, but it did in Wiktionary, where it’s described as “A sexually attractive person”.

So there we have it, my goal now is not just to be thinner, but to become a daily struggle for every woman who comes into contact with me, to keep her hands to herself. I do think though, no matter how much I lose, some sort of plastic surgery will be required. Never the less it’s still a better goal than simply being “In good order”. My chosen title did however fall at the first hurdle when I told a friend what I was going to call the blog, his reply not quite what I wanted. “What you writing about sun cream for?”
