as a standalone its nonsense. as part of a collection of motivations it might work.

I’ll be doing this forever. I’ve always thought I was fat. But every time I see a picture of myself from the last few years, I wonder why I thought that back then. And the cycle continues for all time.

Not a pity party at all! Just trying something that applies an immediate consequence to help build a habit in my life that has long term benefit. That’s all.

Yes- I tried to do a brief work out every day last year but my foot started hurting, so I had to stop for months. Also, how do people know you’re not just lying and saying you are working out when you’re actually not? Seems like video would be proof. Those things said, I admire your willingness to start being accountable- you’ve obviously experienced some procrastination in life that you’re ready to be done with. Power on!

Can I be the 5th person?

Totally right..i salute myself of having the courage to leave a place when i am not wanted. And bet, i will never go back even when there is an invitation.

Oh, Etretat

Totally agree and understand. The expectation is absolutely not to run everyday. Been there years ago when I was doing 1/2s, hurt myself, no thanks. If I spend 5 mins on a rest day stretching out a tight muscle, that counts for me.

Hi. I have run a marathon in the past. You need recovery days. You need days where you're NOT working out, or you will wear your body out and start to break down before the marathon date.

Marathons are about PACE. If you try to work out every day, you will wear yourself out and not even make it to the race date.

I admire your motivation, but you need to calm down a bit or you won't reach this goal.

Appreciate you.

This is one of those times I don't wish to be paid money, but I'm in for the accountability.

Yo

Thanks! All I’m lookin for is 5 strangers that are guaranteed to take my money if I don’t commit.

I’ll take that bet

It reminds of the lyrics to a 90s song, every beginning started with an ending. OP is right, never too late.

I feel like this when a long term long distance friend doesnt bother telling me they got married. OK, guess I'm out.

Its Never to late to know this my friend

It is really a personal choice, for me I like to keep them to show them that even tho they are not part of my life anymore, I am happy, satisfied and going forward with or without them, you might think that they do notice that but they do, people feel it when you detach and move on.

I forgot the most important thing, you need to forgive them for doing that, once you do you will feel much better and the emotional exhaustion that they put you through will go away for good.

Never expected anything from anyone and still it felt like shit until now, and probably still will

That seems more like going easy on yourself rather than expecting more. I get that it's just a stupid aphorism I'm nit picking, but I think it just might not be a great one, hah.

Much easier for the girl in general in breakups because they have way more options and quicker distraction from you

I agree. I'm married and old enough that I don't have time for that type of childish behavior.
