On my FB page I suggested donating money to a charity, but as that's a win/win, I'm not sure its the best idea, and we already do that anyway.
A psychologist friend suggested writing a check to an organization I hate and having someone mail it if I fail, but I am torn about that idea as well.
So I have decided that since I hate being out in a swimsuit in public at my current weight, that I will post a full body shot of myself on my public FB page if my goal of 1 lb/week is not met by June 1, which would be a goal weight of just under 230.
If I meet that, I will renew the bet for the next quarter or so.
Since neither I nor my viewers want that to happen, I think I will get the encouragement I need!
What do you think?
I love it! I try to use positive motivators. But if public humiliation is your thing, I'll be glad to help being here to laugh at your picture.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I try to tie the rewards to behaviors rather than weight loss because weight can be a trap for obsession and overall inaccurate. (for women at least) Right now I am giving myself a spa service for every 3, (yes only 3!) days that I exercise and log all of my food into "Lose It".
