I had put on a couple of pounds in late 2019 because of too much sugar in the diet (can't resist them &🧁) but just couldn't seem to cut down (you're out with friends and you think - just one bite and poof - cookie is over!).
Then friend and I came up with a "game" - we chose rules (zero dessert on weekdays + 2 pieces allowed on weekends) - and then a price (Rs. 200) - which we would pay the other when one slipped up on the rules - and surprisingly - it worked well! Consumption went over time and I started shedding the extra pounds I had put on.
Things got fun + interesting - a competitive vibe emerged b/w 2 of us which acted as forcing function to not eat sugar, lots of trash talk happened, we came up with a concept of a free pass (had a bad day and just wanted some dessert!) to give flexibility.
So I built an app around this concept - NoMo: https://playnomo.com
Looking to change something about yourself but can't seem to follow through? Like:
1. Too much sugar/desserts? 🧁
2. Too much junk food? (McDonalds fries are my weakness!)
3. Not drinking 8 glasses of water a day?
Anything at all - YOU can pick the rules you + friend want to follow & then you pick the price that works for you!
NoMo is a way to do that with the help of friends/loved ones - Give it a shot - all feedback, suggestions are welcome :)
