Shame as a Motivator
Well, I have to thank my friends for some real quality motivation. (No seriously, all in fun....thanks.)
So, every year after the holidays, one of my co-workers/bosses does a "Biggest Loser" for any faculty member who is interested. You know how it goes, pay your $10, weigh in once a week, cheer if you lost weight, and cry and pay your $1 shame money if you didn't lose . I do it every year, and typically the whole experience costs me about $30. What can I say, I like my food.....what can you expect from a man who is part Italian, German, and Irish?
I just happen to be one of, I don't know, 8-9 contestants and after week one,, I am in last place. Apparently, the results were posted and word got around fast.....I'm the biggest man in the contest and I lost the least weight. Next thing I know all eyes are on me and what is going into my gullet. (That's a fancy word for mouth....sorry, biology nerd.) I have spies everywhere asking if the little Tootsie Roll that I'm about to pop into my mouth is on my Weight Watcher's plan, and offering to make breakfast smoothies, that no offense, look like they were scraped off of an algae filled pond. (Thank's Steph, but I'm worried that the ooze you call breakfast may have adverse side effects and I may end up looking like a Smurf on steroids or with a glandular problem.)
Well, I guess I'm off to the gym, not for the true desire to get slim, but out of fear that I will be put in stocks in the town square and force fed sludge, tofu, and what ever else is healthy and flavor free. Thanks for looking out for me guys, even if I do make fun of you here.
