Diet & Healthy Eating
Often times the hardest part about dieting is imagining how long it will take to get where you want to be. But, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. So try starting small; cook dinner 3 nights a week, or take lunch to work. But big steps or small, commit today to the most important thing you've got...your health.

I had some bread/flour food items and I had several sugar, sweet items and I didn’t eat enough fruit or vegetables or control my food quantities. These were clear breaks re the SickK.com contract. I am not able to say that I closely adhered this week. I fully intend to adhere from this point forward. I accept my penalty because that is what I set as the penalty and the consequence for not following the food contract.

safibta Jul 15, 2019, 12:24 PM"Commitments considered in the present Stickk commitment: 1. I will reach office by 0759 every day, except Saturdays. 2. The following points: 2.1. from 0630 in Korean Standard Time to 0930 in Korean Standard Time, I will not sit or lie down on any chair, bed, floor, or stairs in the building 17-22 (also known as Paradia) in Daegu, South Korea - from 0630 in Korean Standard Time to 0930 in Korean Standard Time, I will not sleep anywhere within 2 feet of Cartesian distance of the periphery of my bed in the building 17-22 (also known as Paradia) in Daegu, South Korea which consists of a mattress and the wooden structure on which it rests. If this point, i.e. point 2.2, fails to hold true on a given morning, even if the said failure in accidental, the present Stickk commitment must be considered violated for that day. 3. Exceptions in this commitment are the following cases: --- sitting on the toilet seat inside the restroom of the studio I live in when the following criteria is met: ----- I can use my Samsung Galaxy S9 only after I activate the Paradia Toilet applock profile on it ----- if my Samsung Galaxy S9 is not in the Paradia Toilet applock profile, then I must make it that the first thing before using this device ----- during this activity of sitting, I am not touching anywhere, with or without any clothes in between, except the surface of a toilet seat on which a person is supposed to sit --- sitting on the wooden chair in the studio I live in when the following criteria is met: ----- purpose of this sitting activity is to wear socks ----- during this activity of sitting, I am not touching a desk with or without any clothes or bag in between ----- as soon as I sit, the next thing I should do is to wear socks and as soon as I have worn socks, I must get up. Notes applicable to the present journal entry: - notice period for revoking or designating new wakeup time for a given day is the office reaching time of that day minus 10 hours. (so e.g. if I am to reach office at 7:59 a.m., then I must put the journal entry designating the revoking or the updated office reaching time by 9:59 p.m. on the previous day) - For Saturdays, the default value for the rule is "revoked". In other words, I am not obligated to go to office. But this is the default value, and can be overridden by a different time. - Violation penalty per instance (i.e. per defaulted day): one usable 5000 South Korean Won currency note torn on that day before 9:59 p.m. If this action is not carried out, the quantity of the usable 5000 South Korean Won currency notes torn increases by one every six hours thereafter. - All times stated by me in this journal entry are in Korean time zone and in accordance with zero offset from the time shown by the casio watch that I am wearing as I write this journal entry. - I am not allowed to change the time shown on my casio watch for the purpose of avoiding the penalty associated with this stickk commitment - This commitment can be revoked or altered for a given day by writing a journal entry of the format: "(date) "revoked (in case of revoking) or new time (in case of updated reaching time)" e.g. "2018-10-25 revoked" or "2018-10-25 9:54 a.m." - note on loopholes: I assume there are loopholes in all my Stickk commitments. When I exploit a loophole, in order for this loophole to be considered a valid reason for not incurring the penalty of the present Stickk commitment as defined in the present journal entry, I must state in digital or physical writing a satisfactory definition of the loophole that I have exploited in the considered instance. For this definition of the considered loophole to be considered valid, the following criteria must hold: - I must end this definition with a period and do so before the due time of the incurring penalty defined in the present journal entry in the considered instance. - this definition of the loophole must not cite a bulleting error as a source of exploitation of the exploited loophole."View my Commitment

AmeliaJC Jul 10, 2019, 9:34 PM"After many months of sticking to the Third Bright Line, I have struggled with the rule of 3-meals-only-No Snacks. Nuts are my particular downfall, in combination with Scotch, or sometimes in the form of rice cakes and peanut butter. Nuts is an acknowledged trigger for many BLErs, but I only became aware of this for myself on my birthday, when Jim Bulman and I split a can of peanuts, in celebration. Since then, I've dipped into the snacks many times, and although I'm "maintaining" my WW goal weight between 133-136, it's a struggle, and doesn't seem likely that I will lose any more to reach the BLE ideals. Most important, there is no peace around my food. Stickk worked for me before, and might add incentive to get back to a stronger program. My goal is to observe the Third Bright Line every day, and make it part of a stronger nightly routine, so I'm also re-instituting my Nightly Checklist. But Stickk only reports a week at a time, leading to the problem of the What-the-hell-effect; once you lose the bet for the week, there's no incentive to get back to it the next day. So Pete and I have come up with an additional incentive. At the end of four successful weeks, or 28 straight days of no nightime eating, I will reward myself with joining TCM Backlot. If I mess up a day, I have to start counting all over again, giving me incentive to rezoom immediately. If I need to, I will renew the StickK contract until I get my 28 days. For some reason this seems challenging, but I know I can do it, and I really want it. Nuts are for the birds!"View my Commitment -

dmoore1966 Jul 9, 2019, 6:54 AM"Slipping is still occurring. I will need to pay a greater relative penalty. Stopped eating nuts for about 4 days, but had some today, before throwing them out. Too many cheese burger meals with fries. Too many granola bars... need to stop eating them altogether. KEY ACTION: I need to resume consistently filling out Nightly Checklist each day, so I can closely monitor my adherence each day. My focus needs to be on one day at a time. My weight this morning was the highest its been in probably 3 months... I'm up 6-7 pounds from my lowest point. Slippage is dangerous because of how it gains momentum and how my food choices deviate more and more. This is all about me demonstrating integrity... following through with the letter and spirit of the BLE contract. Time to get fully back on track and to start a new, continuing trend of losing weight. The BLE program works if I follow it closely. I can do it!"View my Commitment
