Greed is Good
Money is truly the all-great motivator... case in point. My company is sponsoring a "Fat- man" and "Trim Female" competition, encouraging employees to pledge money towards losing weight and the company will match funds put in to make the pot bigger.. I have heard that the man's pot is in the upper thousands at this point. Today I heard the details of tons of side bets. Young men who definitely don't NEED to lose weight are getting hard-core about this. Why? To fit into that speedo? impress the ladies? Be healthier? Nope..for the M-O-N-E-Y! I'm hoping we don't get a bunch of anorexic bulimics on our hands... It's amazing how motivated people are when money is on the line! I am not sure if the women are as hardcore.. something tells me many will be embarassed to participate, but who knows! There's going to be lots of attempted sabotage on the men's side, with temptation galore.. HAHA.. this is going to be fun to watch.. I am rooting for everyone's safety and well-being! To a healthier new year!

No sign of sabotage or anything more serious than teasing on the women's side..... I think we are all genuinely rooting for each others' success...
that's good to hear! I am rooting for success for all. On the guys side, I keep hearing higher and higher side-bets..they're getting crazy... I suspect there will be a lot of cranky men around the office come the last few weeks prior to Memorial Day.
