Okay, so I have an idea and I wanted to get YOUR feedback.

I was doing a little thinking today, and I realized that a big part of getting through any struggle, particularly food (in my case, homework), cravings, addictions, etc is having a way to hold yourself accountable for your actions.

My idea was the following:

What if we created a protected section/forum on TT (registered users can access only), where you can hold yourself accountable for deviating from your nutritional or other goals, and get the peer support from others to overcome these urges?

Let’s say you’re really craving a doughnut, piece of pizza, or other snack, and you know that you shouldn’t. This is where you would go to either (1) explain to others why you chose to do so, or (2) get some moral support from others to help yourself stay away.

I know we must all hold ourselves accountable for our actions in the end, but there is nothing wrong with getting the support of others. If you DO decide to deviate, you could write a thread explaining why you chose to do so, and how you hope to compensate.

I figured that this may be a good long-term method to staying away from evil habits, which sometimes can unintentionally creep back into our lives.

Anyways this was just an idea. I wanted to see if any of you liked it. You're free to share your opinions here, whether you hate the idea or love it!
