Soft drink items: 6 (spread across two days, so not that bad), glasses of water: 2 (bad), hours of exercise: 11 (8 at work, 3 walking around shopping):

It's the second day on my quest and already I've come across my first setback. It was announced this morning that Dollhouse, the best show nobody was watching, was cancelled. One thing you should know about me is that I'm very, VERY, television-obsessive and when one of them dies - it's like losing a child (I'd imagine). This doesn't bode well for my eating habits, or my stress levels. I know that sounds incredibly melodramatic for a TV show, but they're important to me, and it all contributes to what makes me unique.

I also thought of another way to reach the perfection criteria: eating better and drinking more water in order to clear up my skin. I'm 19, but my acne has never gone away. It's not freak-show bad, but it's an imperfection that I will not tolerate.

As I'm writing this, I realise that I might seem shallow in focusing so much on looks and money to reach my goals, but I'm living in reality, and this is how the world works. This will not be like a Disney movie where, at the end of the project, I realise I was always perfect just the way I was. The world is imperfect (yet pretty damn awesome in its own right) and I want to shine in it. And I will.

It's now 9.36pm on Thursday, November 12. My first weigh-in will be on Sunday morning at 10am, because.... well, because that's the time I chose.

OK I think that's all I have to report for now,
Andrew.
