Kimkins Pinky Swear

The new Kimkins challenge starts today, February 1. Does anybody really believe that Kimmer will keep a promise of not cheating during the month of February based on a pinky swear? This morbidly obese woman that has lied a million times about her weight to thousands of people during the last 8 years? What difference is a pinky swear going to make?

Pinky swear

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To pinky swear (in some regions referred to as the pinky promise) is when two people entwine their pinky fingers—and then kiss the back of their hands most commonly of the same respective hands—to signify that a promise has been made. The kiss is not necessary in all parts of America. Traditionally, the pinky swear is considered binding and tantamount to a handshake in terms of sealing a deal. The pinky swear originally indicated that the person who breaks the promise must cut off their pinky finger.

In modern times, pinky swearing is a more informal way of sealing a promise. It is most common among school-age children and close friends. The pinky swear signifies a promise that cannot be broken or counteracted by the crossing of fingers, the "I take it back" or any other trickery.

So how much weight will you lose by cutting of your pinky finger? Surely not more than an ounce or two. That doesn't help much with your weight loss stats, Kimmer.
