Tautological Dom is tautological.
My ability to exert control on my wife/sub is in direct proportion to my ability to exert control on myself. As I let things slide with myself, things then seem to slide with her. I need to set clear goals for myself and follow them so that I can then set goals for her and us.
So it comes down to me. As I want to influence others I need to influence myself first.
That's not to say that I can't do both at the same time. It is just that I know my effectiveness is directly related to my ability to self-control me.
With that, I'm setting a public goal of spanking my wife every day whether or not I know she deserves it because she probably does.
Just kidding. I am setting a goal of losing 20 lbs by Christmas. That is 20 lbs in 110 days (give or take a day). That is just under one pound every 5 days. The food journaling will become consistent and the exercise will resume. I've already started my wife on this path and it is only fair that I lead her the rest of the way there.
So while this is generally a D/s blog, I'm going to ramble about weight loss from time to time as well as this is a place where I can do that. I'll warn readers when it is a weight loss post from now on.
And as for the self-discipline in order to discipline train of thought, my wife has earned herself a bit of correction today. Actually she earned it last night in failing to post her daily summary to me. We'll have a little corrective discipline and discussion of why she is required to do so and we'll move forward.
She might even blog about it after the fact.
