Lose weight or else…

Here’s one site I just came across that I just love – it’s hilarious.

The picture: you have tried everything to lose weight, you have sworn off food for life, you have bribed your husband/wife to only cook you healthy foods, you have tinkered with the scale to show that number you desperately want to see and/or you have set fire to your old wardrobe trying to kid yourself into one that is at least 2 dress sizes smaller…and none of it has worked.

The solution: according to www.flaab.com there is hope on the horizon – you get to make a BET on how much you will lose by when. Now – this is the simple part – you have been betting all your life that you can lose that weight right? But here’s the deal. You actually bet money on your weight loss (and you get it back when you do lose it) but you also get to say where that money goes if you do NOT make your goal.

The catch: here’s the catch… you cannot make a bet with the money going to anything that makes you feel good – no, it goes to your worst enemy! So if you love animals – it’ll go to “Kill the whales” or if you hate your ex, it will go to him/her. If that is not a reason to hit that number by the end of your predetermined period – what will??? Not only that – but if you hang about reading the site too long – you get a reminder that you are procrastrinating and you need to enter a deadline. So go have some fun…and lose that weight!

Just some other examples of bets people have placed:

“i’ll update my Facebook status once an hour with the phrase: I am a fat dickwad”
“It’ll all go to Al Gore”
“make it payable to Paris Hilton”
