Need tough love? Let Weightnags motivate you to get fit and lose fat

Catch sight of yourself in the mirror today, and didn't like what you saw? Yet will you do anything about it? Or will you join millions of people who, despite knowing they are not at their physical best, still continue down a self destructive path of poor diet and laziness? Maybe you simply need motivation. Been there, done that and it didn't work, right? Well, maybe I have found the perfect solution for you.

Weightnags is a new 'motivational' website that berates you over email (and for a fee, via your mobile). Remember the way your mum used to nag you to sit up straight? Well, this is the fat loss equivalent.

In the name of research, I signed up to my daily dose of abuse. Here is the first email I received within a minute of registering.

"Hi Tubbo,

Okay, we know it's tempting to eat at the Hungry Heifer every night of the week. After all, they have everything.

Or at least they did, before you licked every pan in that buffet clean enough to see your reflection in it. Did you bother to look at that reflection, though?

Obviously not - yikes! Waddling from your booth to the soft-serve machine is not exercise. Unless there's, like, two miles in between. In which case, good for you - you can treat yourself to a little reward.

But until you get up and move around, you oughta lay off the buffet. Take care of your own beefy carcass before you eat a few pounds of something else's.

Even if it is marinated in delicious barbecue sauce.
 
Who Loves You?
 
WeightNags Do.  That's who."

Not for sensitive souls!!!! The theory behind the site is to inspire individuals to get up off their already too large backsides and get in shape, all through insults and abuse. It is relentless. From the second their website loads, you are 'encouraged' through name calling to become a member. "Give us your info and we'll nag you once a week until you get off of your fat ass and lose some weight... enter your email address, Chubbles".

It seems this might be the last resort of the hopeless, once the gentle hand holding and encouragement has failed to help them lose the extra pounds. Personally I can't really see it being much more than an entertaining gimmick, but heck, dieting can be a pretty serious business, so its good to have a giggle every now and again!
