Personal Chef Forces Change
Share
Sam Parr shares how he uses expensive commitments to force himself to make lifestyle changes.
"As we speak, I have a chef in my kitchen cooking for me. It's a very expensive fee, and I'm doing it because I got really fit this summertime, then got a little chubby, and now I'm going to get fit again. It costs me a lot of money to have this guy here doing this, and I don't want it. The reason I'm doing it is because I'm going to lose weight quickly and eat only their food.
This works really well. Another example is if you want to lose weight, you sign up for a competition like an Ironman or something you cannot get out of. These types of forcing functions are the only thing that works for me personally, being pretty lazy and stubborn."
