the deal

I made a deal with my husband that I would exercise five days a week  to try to lose my lingering post-pregnancy weight and he would give up pop for those same days.  The truth is that I resent that we have this deal going and that he has any say in my weight at all.   I also believe that diet is a more important factor in weight loss and that you can't out-exercise a bad diet.  His opinion is that I should be able to burn it off with 20 minutes a day.  I am therefore sabotaging my own weight loss by over-eating.  That'll show him.  Unfortunately, proving a point to my husband is currently outweighing my desire to lose weight.  I obviously need to work on my priorities.
