Hiya folks
As I sit here contemplating getting going on my gazillionth restart - you know, the one that will definitely be my last, the one where I'll lose all my surplus weight and go up all the steps properly, and not let anything get in my way or any stupid thoughts derail my motivation, etc., etc...
...I can't help but wonder whether it might be an idea to lose weight for a charitable cause.
Or whether it wouldn't. Whether all that would happen would be that I might fall off the wagon and feel guiltier than ever, and end up raiding my own piggy bank to pay over the sponsorship that I would've raised had I managed to stick things out.
Or would the fear of failure actually help me through the cr*p times and keep me going?
Now obviously, the best reason to lose weight is for yourself. I've been around the loop enough times to know that's what everyone says. But I do want to lose weight for myself. It's just I really want to give myself a big enough kick up the rear to get to where I want to get.
Anyone ever tried it - gone down the raising money for charity by doing a sponsored slim route?
Do you think it's a crazy idea? Ill-advised? Or does it have potential?
