For every 5 lbs I lose, my boyfriend, Jeff (shockingly not a Doctor Who fan), watches one Doctor Who story with me. This is the concession I have made to my wallet. My original plan, which he dubbed the geekiest weight loss plan ever devised, consisted of me buying one Doctor Who DVD for every 5 lbs lost but, after looking more closely at the prices of said DVDs that plan was scrapped. I was quite bummed but, being a quick thinker, I just performed a little jiggery pokery and voila! New and improved incentive program.
I love sharing the the things I love with the people I love and there's a line from the Malcolm in the Middle episode Flashback that sums up that sentiment wonderfully. Hal and Lois are fighting and she asks him to tell her seven things that he loves about her, his last thing really hit home: "I love that nothing in my life, not cribbage with my dad, not a new Van Halen album, not even an old Van Halen album for that matter, or any of their solo albums...I love that nothing in my life is complete until I've shared it with you." That's just a fabulous description of love that really resonates with me.
