The Belt

For the past month we have tried something new to us in our relationship called, domestic discipline.

We created a copantract and he listed what he felt were problems for our relationship.  These are some starting points:  my weight, back talking and disrespectfulness, and I blow little things out of proportion. So he decided I am limited to 1,500 calories day and 25 grams of fat and this is perfectly sensible, my doctor actually tried to get me to do this several years ago, but I refused.  I also have to exercise for a minimum of 30 mins per day and I am actually doing an hour every day.  The punishment for non-compliance is 20 swats with his hand and 20 swats with the belt.  I called this entry “The Belt,” because today I got 10 swats with a belt because I smarted off to him after we had a nice dinner out.

We drove to a store immediately and he picked out the belt and spanked me 10 times with his hand and 10 with the belt and 10 with a paddle.  Any back talking or argument starting is 40 strokes; twenty with the hand and twenty with the belt.

Now, he is requiring me to write in this blog daily about what is happening and if I have behaved, or not.  The picture is of the actual paddle, belt and journal of calories I have to maintain to show what I ate everyday.  As of today I have lost 19 pounds  and improved my health because of this endeavor and he is more motivated to advance further as a result of the positive outcome.
