Humiliation as a motivator
I completely forgot to watch (or tivo) TBL last night! Bummer. I have been watching the National Body Challenge on Discovery though... it's on every night this week and is very similar to TBL. Watching that stuff motivates me. If they can do it, so can I.
My weight has always been a secret... only I know it, my dr of course, and you guys. But I've been thinking that maybe if I am more honest and upfront about that number, it would motivate me to keep going and accomplish this goal once and for all. So I'm thinking I may share the big fat number with my BF this weekend. If I'm honest and put the number out there, there will be no more denying it. I'm thinking that the mortification will humiliate me enough to follow through.
The idea came to me when I was thinking how horrific it would be to go on National TV and tell the world how much I weigh like Oprah or the contestants on TBL. I would die! But, wouldn't that be a motivating factor? I'm curious to know what others think about this...
About a month ago I was crossing the mall parking lot with my son.. a car filled with twenty-somethings was waiting for me to cross. As they drove by they yelled "That's right! Get your fat ass to the mall!" I wanted to die. Gone are the days when my ass would get whistled at... now I am a fat ass. But I think about this often and find it motivating... so maybe humiliation is key.
