***The Bariatric Foodie Pledge has NOT started yet. It will begin Feb. 2. This post is for informational purposes only.***
There's an adage in internet communications that goes "If you have to spend a lot of time explaining it, it isn't a good idea." One might think this about The Bariatric Foodie Pledge. Yet many people have participated and gotten a LOT out of it. Therefore, I'll keep doing it!
But this year I vowed to do a better job of explaining the Pledge to newer folks. So...since there's a lot to say, I am doing this as a "BF Basics" series, which will run throughout this week. Here's what we'll cover:

But this year I vowed to do a better job of explaining the Pledge to newer folks. So...since there's a lot to say, I am doing this as a "BF Basics" series, which will run throughout this week. Here's what we'll cover:
- Part One (which you are reading now): What the heck is The Bariatric Foodie Pledge?
- Part Two: Frequently Asked Questions
- Part Three: Making goals that succeed.
So let's begin at the beginning.
“What the heck is a Bariatric Foodie Pledge?”
I’m glad you asked! The Bariatric Foodie Pledge is an annual event that helps you to make and keep healthy goals and rewards you RIDICULOUSLY for doing so!
The concept is simple. Follow me here.
Each Sunday in February, I call for you to "pledge" a goal. It can be any goal you like. Maybe you want to get more protein in, exercise more, drink water, get back on plan with your vitamins, WHATEVER. Your goal, your choice.
Throughout the week, you work on your goal. On Facebook, Twitter and here on the blog, I'll post helpful articles, be your cheerleader, we can talk about your struggles...whatever you need, I'm here for ya!
On Saturday of each week, I'll post a call for you to "check-in" on your goal. You'll do so by answering a few questions about how it all went: what worked, what didn't work, what you might do differently in the future.
Everyone who pledges AND checks in for a week is entered to be one of three winners for the weekly prize for that week (I'll announce what those are as we get closer to the start). I just want to clarify. There are four Pledge Weeks. Each week will have a different prize. Each week three Foodies will win that prize by pledging a goal AND checking in on the goal (you must do both).

Sweet, right? But wait, there’s MORE!
For those who pledge AND check-in all four weeks of the Bariatric Foodie Pledge, there is a special grand prize drawing. In the past I've given away some AMAZING stuff! This year it's going to be even bigger. Now...at this point you might be asking how I know if you pledged and checked in all four weeks. My answer would be to stay tuned for Part Five of this series where we'll talk about that!
So in summary. The Bariatric Foodie Pledge will start February 2nd. Each Sunday you'll pledge a goal to work on for a week. Then you'll work at your goal. On Saturday I'll ask you how it went. If you pledge a goal and check in, you'll be entered to be one of three weekly prize winners. If you pledge AND check-in all four weeks, you will be eligible for the grand prize drawing.
