Committment and obligation are very similar. If I agree to be on a committee, to sing in the church choir, to serve meals to the homeless, to deliver a work product by a certain day, I have made a committment to get that done. It is now an obligation I have.

You make a commitment, you have an obligation.
A promise is something you SAY you'll do. A pledge is a more formal promise
