Dilemma
So... there is a new weight loss fad that I'm thinking might work for me. It feeds my gambling love by making me bet against myself for dieting.
It works like this; I put up a stake and everytime I blow my diet, I donate money to charity. Now, here's my problem - I can't just name my favorite charity. If I did, I'd start justify every candy bar as 'raising funds for my favorite charity.' I could choose my second fave because I actually hate giving them money. They do good work but they are driven by a group of people who, as a whole, couldn't do enough math to pass 8th grade. I hate rewarding bad behavior and bad fiscal management.
So, the idea of anti-charities arises. As a real punishment everytime I break my diet I could be forced to give to Pro-Life MN or Sarah Palin or PETA or....
Who can I name that is bad enough to keep me on task but not so bad that my failure becomes a crime against humanity?
Michelle Bachman? The Log Cabin Republicans?
Any ideas? Bueller? Bueller?
