#3 Take a Jolly Rancher to the gym with you, and do the stairmaster for as long as it takes to eat it. But then get on the stairmaster and think "If I don't eat it at all, I don't have to exercise!" Leave the Rancher and walk away quickly. But not too quickly, lest you find yourself exercising inadvertently.
What a dumb way to diet. To avoid finding yourself in this predicament, try finding something that really makes exercising an event to look forward to. Motivators like achieving goals, beating records, or getting to watch the cute guy across the gym heft weights around work for some people. Others like to pick a book they're excited to read, a movie they've been dying to watch, or a TV series they've been super into lately and restrict themselves to only continuing on to the next chapter or episode... if it's on the treadmill. Me? I watch 30 Rock or Fringe while I'm on the elliptical.
