Interesting that some of you talk about your Dom helping w/ dieting/weight loss. That is usually such a sensitive subject w/ women. my Man kicked my ass when i was training for my blackbelt but since my test i've been a big slacker & have gained (choke, choke) 30 pounds. We talk about it as instructor/student but not as D/s. A spanking for those chocolate chip cookies beats the hell out of 50 push ups too!
