BRIDGET

And that was it. Right there. Right there. That was the moment I suddenly realized that unless some thing changed soon, I was going to live a life where my major relationship was with a bottle of wine and I’d finally die fat and alone and be found three weeks later, half-eaten by Alsatians.

Or I was about to turn into Glenn Close in “Fatal Attraction.” And so I made a major decision. I had to make sure that next year I wouldn’t end up shit-faced and listening to sad FM easy-listening for the over-thirties.

I decided to take control of my life and start a diary to tell the truth about Bridget Jones— the whole truth. Resolution number one–oh–obviously will lose twenty pounds. Number two: always put last night’s panties in the laundry basket.

Equally important: will find nice sensible boyfriend to go out with and not continue to form romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional fuckwits, or perverts.

And especially will not fantasize about a particular person who embodies all these things.
