Mid-Year's Resolution

Here's an interesting thought -- is the potential for public shame and embarrassment enough to make me actually stick to a diet?

Well, clearly, there's only one way to answer this.

As of this morning, I weighed X pounds. For the benefit of those who don't know me personally, I'm fat. You don't need to know how fat.

In three months, on the morning of October 1, I will weigh no more than X - 15 pounds.

This is modest, of course, but if I tried something grand and failed, it would be, well, embarrassing. Barring a major life catastrophe, 15 pounds in three months is eminently achievable.

I'm not going to talk about this much between now and then; don't worry about anything awful like daily or even weekly updates. But know, every time you check in, that I'm probably kind of hungry. :-)
