Details of the pact: We agreed that we will not buy any junk food from now until 31-Oct. Junk food, in our definition, includes potato chips, soft drink, chocolate, and any types of tidbits that are high calorie but low in nutritional value.
Penalty for violation: Anyone who breaks the agreement will have to give RM500 to one of the parents of the other person.
Exception: If the junk food is not bought by us but given or bought by someone else, then eating it does not constitute a violation.
How this came about is obvious -- we eat too much junk food and are putting on weight. Some forms of control need to be in place.
We replenish our groceries in SG every Monday. We will always return home with some junk food. So basically we eat potato chips at least once per week. We gotta control ourselves from the source, which is not buying it in the first place, and hence the pact.
You may wonder what's up with the penalty. Well, initially 贝 suggested giving money to the other person as the penalty, but i thought we wouldn't care much about it since we kinda share the use of our money anyway. So i suggested paying the penalty to each other's parent instead, and that ought to make us feel the pain more and will then make an effort to abide by it.
So, there, no more junk food for 1 month+. Hope that will help us to shred those fat.
