Jeptha -> RE: have You ever helped a sub with weight loss? (3/9/2009 12:12:59 PM)

subangi, loved your story, because I've always kind of wondered about a scenario like that. I agree when others have mentioned that the sub should ultimately take responsibility for her/his own health, but I also wonder; wouldn't a diet like subangi's be a learning experience in how to do it? And a confidence building exercise, as it would demonstrate that she could do it? What I mean is, the master may have provided the discipline, but it was the sub who did the work. That's one component. (Moreover; couldn't one teach a sub to discipline herself in this regard? In other words, to internalize good decision making; "because it is good for me, and I choose to take care of myself" , not just "because it will please my dom"...? ) The other component is some food education, like when he threw the double stuffed oreos out on the lawn, or whatever. For instance, I've cut out lot's of really high fat and high carb items from my diet, which didn't require discipline, just a little basic education. (Note: not claiming to be a diet guru or anything, but I've tried to learn a little about what I eat to find out what works best for me. Again, I don't have experience with helping anyone but myself with a diet, so these are all hypotheticals on my part.)
