I decided that if I was ordering My slaves to slim, then it was not fair that I'd not made a similar effort.
The best way to change behaviour in another is to model it yourself .. works well with offspring too ;]

All the reasons are the same: for health, for attractiveness, for ease of movement, but most importantly, for self discipline!
heheh .. there's also stamina and that marvelous endorphin rush to add as benefits!

Have others here used BDSM either to slim or to encourage your submissives to slim? Or have your Tops encouraged you subs and slaves to slim in this manner? What techniques work for you?
When I quit smoking cigarettes 5 years ago, my weight ballooned up 50 pounds. Since then, with small successes and some set-backs, I have lost 60. And yes BDSM in a way helped discipline me to do what I already knew what I had to do, being a biologist and all that.
My weight had always somewhat yoyo'd, but BC [ie, Before Child] was into doing weights and man was I cut! heheh .. AC [After Child], I settled into a little bit higher set point but still within the yellow zone of my BMI ... losing the cigarettes, dealing with the loss of a lover and a best friend, misdiagnosed ADD (docs thought it was depression and anti-Ds only added to the weight problem), plus issues with the child's father .. and whammy! I hit 30 pounds more than my highest pregnancy weight!
My partner at the time did not threaten me .. rather he took me shopping and purchased a scale. Every morning, I was to go take a walk .. went from 20 to 45 minutes within a month or so, and started doing hills then circuits. After the walk, we would talk .. the first thing he would have me do is strip and weigh. It did not matter what I weighed, just as long as I was aware .. and could see how the small changes were working and also how my weight fluctuated throughout the day and after say him taking me for dim sum and =) feeding me.
When I had lost 25, he said if I lost 10 more he would give me a vertical hood … and I’m terrified of piercings! Heheh .. well, not any more. Even though we split about 2 months after that, I kept the piercing =) for a while. I also kept up my record keeping .. ie, an excel sheet with my weight, projected goals into the future, what type of exercise I was doing.
Mixing the exercising up helps too .. I would walk most every day, some days do aerobics, others eliptical, a weight program interspersed, and each workout followed up by an intense s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g session. I adore yoga .. and variety =) .. gardening is good at this time of year, as are home renovations in the fall heheheh ...
So a variety of techniques have worked, and are still working. I don't weigh myself every day anymore, yet I know I'm hovering about 175 .. which is back in the yellow zone. I'm aiming for 169 (heheh, cause being 1.69 metres, this would make me well-rounded) .. hmmm wonder what I shall reward myself for getting there?
Enjoy the day .. I'm off to rip out some sod, and do some landscaping =)
