During the past few months, I've apparently gained a bit of weight (more like a truckload). I was reading wisebread.com this afternoon and saw stickK.com where you pledge money if you don't reach your goals. If you do reach your goal, you get your money back. If you don't reach your goal, you can choose where the money should go. I have chosen the anti-charity route for psychological purposes. I NEED to lose weight! Here's the link to my profile. You can check up on me all you'd like (you're all like family now anyway):

Poke me, prod me, but please help me from giving money to the NRA (my apologies if you have a membership).

I'm intrigued by the psychological tactic of aversion. It worked for me to maintain a high GPA, or else I'd have to sing at the busiest corner of a major city (major embarrassment, as I can not sing).

Also, once there was a three-month bus strike in my city, and I had no car so I was FORCED to walk a half hour to work and a half hour back, five days a week, as well as to the grocery store and anywhere else I needed to go. I lost almost 10 pounds in that period without doing ANY other exercise.
PS: The stick you chose is both hilarious and terrifying! Good luck!!
