Second, find out what her dreams are for HER future. She will be the one working toward her goal, not you, so she needs to have the inner motivation, the trick is finding it. Does she want to be able to chase kids on a beach in a bikini?
Fourth, and this one's a jewel because it's very personal and most women won't admit this, but she wants to be desired. She wants to feel sexy. There's something that my husband admitted he really wants to do to me that I can't necessarily do at the moment.. but I'll be able to once I'm at my goal weight. Tell her about your fantasies for HER and things like that tend to occupy the mind in place of food, often times.  |
I played cut and paste here with the quotes.
My wife is and always will be my best friend, and we've come to some ways of working this out recently. We're both on the path now.
Dreams of the future? Ummm... kids are grown up, how about running down the beach, without the bikini in the first place...
Desire, has nevere, EVER been an issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We use that little devil emoticon a lot!!! (BTW, dare I ask what hubby wants you to do?

We've probably already done it...
Just kidding! (maybe)
