Step 1: Health

So it's been a couple of days since I did the Facebook purge (see previous blog post). I've had a couple of days to experience the change. Lets just say I'm freaking loving it!!!

If it wasn't for this need I would have ditched the thing weeks ago. I'm so utterly sick of it and what it causes people to do. I sadly have become addicted to Facebook.

Who can post the best looking gourmet meal they've made? Who can post the most extravagant places/landmarks they've travelled to? Who can post to
