Timber, on the mind, body, soul point - I think they are all inseperably related. You let one slip and the others suffer, I don't think it's possible to rank them at anything other than equal. If I get fit, I feel better and my mind is sharper; and vice versa.

I too want to look my best. There's nothing better than knowing your Master is looking at you when you are at your best, or that he is proud to show you off, makes all the hard work worthwhile.

The 'I'm in a strong relationship so I can let myself go' idea is inherently flawed and lazy; although I don't think anyone actually does it consciously. Rather, you have to consciously focus on NOT doing that, it's the first step towards yor relationship getting tired and taken for granted when you get slack about things. I often have minor lapses but he's good at keeping me on track, that's what a good Master should do I think.

It's funny because you always see these dieting tips and weight loss plans in magazines. The simple answer is, get a Dominant! Find someone who will punish you when you eat too much and don't exercise and reward you when you do. It works like a charm! *Starts writing off to Weight Watchers*
