[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He wants your help. You should help him.

It's a good motivator to aim for 0.0 every day and have someone you're trying to prove you can do it to.

I started exercising a few months ago. I proudly report my progress each day like how many minutes I did on the bike, etc to DW. She's supportive, and it motivates me to show her and myself that I'm trying to improve my health.[/quote]

So what happens when you miss a day? Does she confront you? Do you fudge the numbers? Are you telling her the number or is the bike logging it so she can see it? If you’re supposed to do 20 minutes and you get a call at 18, and forget to go back and add the last two minutes, do you get credit for mostly doing what you promised or should your wife stand beside you next time to make sure you finish? If you skip a whole week will she check you into a disordered eating treatment facility or trust that you’ll do better even though you already promised that? If she fails to make you take care of yourself, are you going to lash out at her when you don’t lose weight? If you do the work and forget to report it, and she points that out, are you going to resent her nagging? What if she wants to have a donut or sleep in instead of going for a sunrise hike with you? Are you going to feel unsupported? How extensive is your history of denial of your weight/health issues, how much do they interfere with your daily life, and how often have you lied about your eating and exercise habits to your wife in the past? Is your wife a registered dietitian, personal trainer, or medical professional who helps people lose weight/exercise? Is she helping you come up with a plan or are you creating your own routine and following it? Did your doctor say it’s imperative that you start exercising because you were too sedentary and your health was affected or were you reasonably healthy and felt like you could do better? Do you really not get that alcohol addiction is different from exercising and that people often need professional help, not just turning their wife into their mommy, to achieve and maintain sobriety?
