There are a lot of parallels. You know that my W has the spending bug. She bought a VERY expensive treadmill about six or eight months ago. She assured me that she was going to lose weight and that she would use the treadmill. She did. For a couple of weeks.
I don’t nag her about her weight because I know it’s a touchy subject. But she doesn’t get much exercise, eats way too much, has a horrible diet, and poor eating habits as well. Like eating hig-calorie, high fat snacks like ice cream right before going to bed. She even keeps a big bag of Cheetos on her nightstand.
