My dominant loves me for who I am and supports me if I want a milkshake for lunch or if I eat a salad for dinner. He wants me to be happy and to grow in good ways.
It took his support (and, ironically, me actually being in a romantic relationship) before I could deal with the emotional crud that prevented me from losing weight.
And I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and insulin resistance and am 5'3" and 226 lbs . . .but as of Thanksgiving I was 234 lbs. What changed?
I got a dog! I've wanted a dog for the whole of my adult life and I knew adding a dog to my life would add health benefits, but that's not the main reason I got her.
That said, my little dog is 22" high at the shoulder, weighs approx. 40 pounds and is a high energy breed (a standard Poodle, and she's just turned a year old, so she's still a puppy too!), so we take at least two long walks per day at her pace, which leaves me sweating. And a long walk is probably a mile round-trip.
I've lost 8 pounds in three weeks. For me, it took A) getting rid of the emotional hang-ups, B) walking the dog two miles every day, rain or shine, and C) eating a well-balanced healthy diet along with the other two to finally allow me to start losing the weight I need to lose for my health.
My dominant thinks it's great. He loves the dog, too :) But I was the one that had to deal with all the crud and figure out what it would take. He didn't do it. We don't have weight loss contracts or expectations or anything. I do it because I want to be healthy, for myself and him, and he agrees that's a good reason.
