Using Twitter To Help You Lose Weight

A key aspect to success when losing weight - or indeed trying to make any major change in your life - is accountability. Couple this with making is as easy as possible to be accountable and Twitter becomes a perfect tool to help you lose weight.

Essentially, what you need to do is to set up your own Twitter account specifically to use while on your diet. You then let a number of people know that you are going to lose weight, and how you’re going to do it. And then you simply Twitter your experinces as you go.

Every time you eat something or exercise (or don’t exercise!) you tweet it, so all your followers know that you are still on the straight and narrow. Every single thing you eat gets tweeted and so everyone knows you are doing exactly as you should be, in real time.

And if and when you do break the rules and eat something you shouldn’t, be honest enough to tweet that too. I guarantee you that if you promise yourself you will tweet everything about your diet - both good and bad - the simple fact of being held accountable by a large number of people will greatly increase your chances fo success.

And don’t forget that if you ever start to feel weak and think that you might quit your diet, there will be dozens of people following you who you can call on for advice or emotional support.
