i thought i'd post these - they're kind of interesting, when i step back a bit. i hear so much talk from s-types about the attempt at weight-loss, overall health, and submission together that i thought i'd be interesting to actually post my rules per my owner. i've taken them somewhat from an earlier comment i made on the last post. i should also mention that i don't currently have weight or health issues that these are specifically aimed at - it's an overall consciousness of health kind of thing.
1. no sugar treats with no nutritional value. period. ever. for example, vanilla yogurt is okay (not great), but not ice cream. very rarely do i get sugar treats (like, once every few weeks, if that.) i believe i've broken this rule exactly once. i'm scared to ever do it again.
2. i am required to track every single non-water item that goes in. (and out, for that matter.) writing it down makes me super-conscious of it. this is an intense rule - it's really hard sometimes to write it all down. i keep a notepad on my kitchen counter. he checks it periodically, and randomly.
3. i tend to eat carbs when i'm tired (especially now since i don't get sugar), so i have to be careful i'm not eating too much bread, or he makes note of it and structures an actual diet for a while. "sweet" kind of bagels are out, as are (ahem) english muffins. no sweet rolls, no croissants.
4. i've found that i *have* to eat a large portion of protein first meal of the day (eggs, cheese, something) and not just fruit - i tend to sugar crash and binge later.
5. in the last month, i'm now required to eat a *large* portion of greens if i want an orgasm that day. the window for opportunity is open daily, but closes at the close of each day (in other words, no saving it for the next day). this is new, and i'll probably lose that opportunity as soon as the greens are more common in my diet per his liking.
6. 8oz of water once a day. this also used to be tied to orgasm control, since i'm not a big water drinker, but now it's incorporated enough that that's gone. juice, tea, etc are not acceptable. only water.
7. i keep a huge bowl of fruit on my counter. i eat a lot of yogurt. and nuts. i tend to snack on dairy more than he'd like, so i've gotten a raised eyebrow over that, but nothing else. yet.
8. i'm counting myself lucky i still get coffee. i still also get diet coke as i want it, but he hates that, and i'm expecting it'll be off my list pretty soon. i drink it less now though on my own, so maybe not.
9. sets of crunches daily before bed. about 40.
10. twice weekly yoga classes, and one valiant attempt at cardio weekly. i used to use the treadmill but hurt my knee badly last year, so now i use the elliptical machine. about 2 miles, doesn't matter how long it takes. in general, the expectation is that i can handle a medium-length day hike without strain.
11. yoga poses through the week as i can fit them in. that's pretty easy - they help my overall physical well being, so i like this part. it's the class i have trouble with.
12. nightly yoga stretches.
13. i also detail for him when i'm feeling - poorly, for lack of a better word. very rarely i ask for permission to skip the nightly routine, and sometimes i even get it.
again, it's important to note, i think, that this routine is meant for overall improvement and some slight weight loss. it's more about toning and maintenance than a definitive goal.
no, i couldn't do it on my own.

I've been struggling with weight loss and dieting for years. Master doesn't want to set too many rules for dieting purposes, but will impose good habit rules that result in better chances at keeping a diet.
It worked for awhile, but now I'm stuck again. You have some very interesting rules and ones that probably wouldn't work at all for me. Thank you for sharing!
I agree, so very interesting and i wonder how i would react if such rules were placed upon me.
I've never "had" to diet by rule of a Master so i wonder if i would be successful. However, I have had to do the "input-output" memos, tho. Not that i think about it for a minute i realize that I feel that what goes into and out of my body is really so very intimate.
Also, I had to smile at the name of your blog.... burnt sugar? ;-)
hi from a first-time visitor. i stopped by after seeing your comment on pig's blog, and then loved what you said in your profile about labels. i'm pretty allergic to labels myself, and believe no one but the philosopher and i should be able to define our relationship or judge the names we use for it.
as to the post at hand, this is a great list. the philosopher loves to give me rules, and i badly need the discipline he imposes on me, as i'm not all that effective in that area when left to my own devices.
i do wish he would control my eating and exercise more, but my round bottom doesn't disturb him enough to make that an issue. i did once go a few weeks keeping a food diary, which of course is the way to go, but it was more a question of my telling him i needed to keep one and e-mail it to him every day.
thanks for reminding me to start it again. i think i'll have to read your archives.
I think those are some very good rules for anyone to follow!
Thank you for sharing them with me. I kinda wish that Sir had enough time to help me keep track of such things myself, but it's just not feasible for us at this time. Maybe at some point, something similar will be on my plate, as it were.
