Rachel at grasping for objectivity in my subjective life tells a story of a most effective friendly competition between spouses.
Six short months ago, two people sat on the couch.
One, a woman in her late 20s, two kids down the road, feeling antsy about how to get rid of the baby weight.
The other, a man in his mid-30s, who had been stuck in a continuously yo-yoing range of chubby to walrus since the 2nd grade [his words not hers].
She asked about Lose It, one of the tools he had used on the downhill side of the waistline roller coaster in 2009. He acknowledged its usefulness and potential for success.
Inspiration was born.
A bet was made.
Fat was in the crosshairs of competition.
Teaming up with a partner to lose weight may not be for everyone, but it sure seemed to work for these two.
(Rachel's blog is great. If you've never read her two "Mom Jeans" posts, you should:
two Mom Jeans posts, you should:
- Mom Jeans and the Dreaded "Long Butt"
- New Studies Prove that Replacing Mom Jeans Can Result in Surgery-Free Liposuction
You'll thank me.)
