So I’ve bene thinking about Gord’s blog entry about promising himself a Nintendo DS if he meets his weight goal.

Now, I have really shitty willpower. Always have. If I want something (and it’s something I can actually do/get/have) then I know I’ll do/get/have it, regardless of whether or not I do whatever it is I’m supposed to do before I “allow” myself to get/do/have the thing.

So I got to thinking. What could I promise myself that would actually make me follow through for once?

At this point “the wedding” isn’t a good enough motivator. It’s still 6 months away, and it’s not something I can really focus on right now due to school work and final exams (ever!) coming up the week after next. A 6-month long goal is just too long for me right now.

So… what could I offer?

If I had a job, I’d know in a second that I’d bribe myslf with a nice trip to Vegas. Damn, how I really wanna go with you guys.
But I have no job, and thus no money, so a $1000+ trip isn’t something I can offer myself. (C’mon job!!)

So I was thinking maybe a corset. Like, a real corset, with real steel boning and proper lacing (not crappy plastic boning with ribbon laces like you’d get at Victoria’s Secret). Maybe something like this, though perhaps in a nice brocade. Something for outerwear, not underwear.

EDIT: And no, this isn’t some weird, convoluted April Fool’s Day joke. I forgot it was April Fool’s Day. D’oh!
