Training me to live better

Hi, my name is Jamie and Im 28 years old. I have a job that is reasonably well paid with some career prospects. When I was in my teens and early 20s I did stuff which a lot of people of that age do. Although I have gotten rid of most of those things, I dont think that I have really grown up properly. I drink too much alcohol, I smoke a lot of cigarettes and I dont do much exercise. Because of this I am starting to get fat and I need to turn things around before its too late. I want to start a website where I publish my life targets and let people monitor my progress against them. The idea is that people act like a jury (anonymously if they want) and decide if I have worked hard enough to put things right and decide how I should be rewarded or punished. I want to sound people out on how this should work before I start building the site.

Tell me what you think the rules should be about tobacco and alcohol use in my new regime

Tobacco use should be prohibited

Tobacco use should be allowed in small quantities as a reward for good behavior

Tobacco use should be unrestricted (my health is my problem)

Alcohol use should be prohibited

Alcohol use should be allowed in small quantities as a reward for good behavior

Alcohol use should be unrestricted

Tell me how my tobacco and alcohol use should be monitored

Honor system (I report my own usage)

Daily alcohol breath test

Daily carbon monoxide breath test

Random urine test for illegal substances (at least one each month)

Do you think I should be made to do physical exercise as part of my new regime?

No (my health is my problem)

Yes, you should burn at least 1000 calories each week

Yes, you should burn at least 1500 calories each week

Yes, you should burn at least 2000 calories each week

Yes, you should burn at least 2500 calories each week

Yes, you should burn at least 3000 calories each week

If you answered yes, how should I be permitted to exercise?

Should my physical training be monitored to keep me honest?

No Jamie, I trust you to tell the truth

You will wear a GPS tracker and a heart rate monitor and share the data on your website to prove it

You will ask an employee at the gym or at the pool to verify that you have been there

You will post images of yourself at every workout

Other

For someone like me, what do you think would be the best motivator

Reward for success

Punishment for failure

Reward for success and Punishment for failure

If you like the idea of rewards, what would you recommend?

Break from your regime for one day a month

Break from your regime for two days a month

Break from your regime for four days a month

No mercy

If the idea of punishments is implemented, there will most likely be two levels - sanctions (for minor failures) and severe punishments (for major failures). Both sanctions and punishments will be reported on my website. Do you agree?

Yes - punishments should be proportionate to the failure

No - life is hard. Minor sanctions are enough

No - any failure deserves a more severe punishment

Sanctions: In the model I am proposing, these will be applied next week if I fail a target this week. Select which sanctions you think would help me.

500 extra calories to burn next week

1000 extra calories to burn next week

Double your normal workout target next week

Restricted to only one type of exercise next week:

Curfew for the whole of next week (time):

Diet restriction for the whole of next week:

Other

If I fail multiple targets, or fail any target on a sanction week, a punishment will apply. Punishments are intended to deter me from failure but should impose genuine hardship if they are incurred. Do you agree with this principle?

No Jamie, you're only human

Yes - you need to behave like an adult

Punishments (financial). Tell me what you would recommend from the following financial punishments:

Spend US$100 on random things from random people's Amazon wishlists

Donate to charity from your paycheck, leaving yourself with minimum wage for a week

Donate to charity from your paycheck, leaving yourself with minimum wage for a month

Other

Punishments (humiliation). Tell me what you would recommend from the following humiliation punishments:

Nakedness

Humiliating clothing

Wearing a dog collar or human collar

Wearing a collar, and being held on a leash

Having people write on me

Wearing diapers

Wearing a sign, or a t-shirt / hoodie with words on it

Tell me how this would work:

Punishments (tattoo). I have some tattoos already (I have a full sleeve on my right arm and three stars at the back of my neck). If I am to be punished with further tattoos, what could this include?

Left arm:

Tattoos to your leg(s):

Tattoos to your neck (hidden by shirt collar):

Tattoos to your neck (not hidden by shirt collar):

Tattoos to your genitals:

Tattoos to your face:

Other:

Keep it discreet

I dont care if you get fired, you deserve to be punished

Punishments (piercing). I have piercings already but these are quite discreet (my ears are gauged at 2ga and I have a 10ga septum that is normally hidden). This is about as much as I can get away with in my job. If I am to be punished with further piercings, what could this include?

Stretch your ears more

Big septum ring that you cant hide

Additional nose piercings:

Lip piercings:

Tongue piercings:

Genital piercings:

Other:

Keep it discreet

I dont care if you get fired, you deserve to be punished

Punishments (restraint). What would be reasonable restraint punishments?

Punishments (chastity). I own a device which can be locked onto me to prevent me from touching or stimulating myself. If this is to be used as a punishment in my regime, how long would be reasonable in your opinion? (in a supervised cleaning, I would have my hands cuffed to prevent me from touching myself).

24 hours

48 hours

1 week

2 weeks (with one supervised cleaning)

3 weeks (with one supervised cleaning)

1 month (with two supervised cleanings)

3 months (with a supervised cleaning every three weeks)

6 months (with a supervised cleaning every 2-3 weeks)

Punishments (diaper). I notice that diaper punishments are popular on Misterpoll. What do you think about diaper punishment as part of my regime? If diapers were used, they would be disposables with a security seal.

No. Not a good idea.

24 hours in diapers, 1 change (supervised)

48 hours in diapers, 1 change (supervised)

Whole weekend in diapers, 2 changes (supervised)

Whole week in diapers, 1 change per day (supervised)

Punishments (diaper continued). If I were subject to diaper punishment, there would be a chance that my co-workers would notice the smell. What would I be required to say to them?

I have a medical problem that means I temporarily have to wear diapers

I have no self-control in most aspects of my life, and so I have to wear diapers because I just can't be trusted with adult responsibility

I just prefer wearing diapers and feeling the wetness

Other:

Is there anything else you would suggest adding to my regime?
