I made a resolution to lose some weight. You see, I am overweight and slightly obese, and I want to correct that. I have tried almost everything, and nothing has worked. So I made a New Year’s resolution to eat healthier foods, stay away from fast food restaurants, and exercise.
During the first three weeks of January everything went really well. I bought a membership at a nearby gym, and was exercising at least four days a week. I found two grocery stores that sold a lot of organic food, and I stayed away from the fast food chain restaurants. It was a little more work preparing my own meals, but it seemed worth it. I was also eating more vegetables and I cut down my serving sizes, and losing weight. This made me look better, feel better, and have more stamina.
But once February started, a lot of things changed in my life. I work at a job where there is no overtime, and you need to complete jobs by at certain date. This meant I was working late, and I had no time to prepare my own meals or exercise. By the time I got home from work, I was totally exhausted. So most of the time when I stayed late at work, I drove up to the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant to get some quick food. Since it was later when I got off work, I also super-sized my food order, so I had more to eat.
When the end of February came about, I was surprised because I had actually gained twenty pounds. Also, since I was working long hours, I no longer was taking time to exercise or go to the grocery store. The stress at work was getting stronger and I was gaining more weight.
Now I had to find a way to stop the downward trend in my health. I have found that the best way to solve a problem like this was to consult my doctor, since I had tried a lot of different methods to lose weight. For me, as a guy, I have a different situation with my doctor. I have a female doctor because she tends to listen better to my problems, and has helped me thru major illnesses in the past.
Anyway, I told her my problem and asked her for any suggestions.
“Your problem seems to deal more with having the correct motivation to lose weight than anything else. I know someone that uses some unusual methods to motivate you, and she has gotten very good results for my other patients. Are you interested?”
“Yes,” I said. “I need a way to correct my weight problem.”
“If you see her, you need to follow her strict rules, but she would provide you with the proper motivation you need.”
So my doctor gave me her phone number and I set up a weekend appointment with her. Since I was working late every night, it was great she was willing to see me on a Saturday afternoon. When I drove to the appointment with her, I was surprised. It was a nice little house in the suburbs. Since I wasn’t sure that I was at the correct place, I called her up on my cell phone.
“Yes, I see your car in front of my house,” she said. “Go ahead and park in the driveway, then walk into my living room without knocking or ringing the doorbell. It will be nice to meet with you and work with you Steve.”
There were many things that were unusual with this therapist, besides her operating out of her house in the suburbs. First, she simply called herself Dr. Sue. That was the way she wanted at be addressed at all times. Second, my health insurance company would not pay for her treatments. So I had to bring a cash payment. Third, she could almost guarantee that her treatments would solve my weight problem, if I saw her every week for at least six weeks. I would decide if this treatment would work for me during my first visit to her. Fourth, that I had to follow all of her rules, and I would be held accountable for my actions. As I said, all of this sounded a little weird and unusual, but if I could lose weight, it was worth it.
After I walked into her living room, she offered me something to drink, and had me relax on the couch. Dr. Sue then sat on a large chair, next to the couch. She had me describe my problem using all of the small details I could think of.
Then she said, “I know that my methods are very effective in helping you out with your weight problem, so I think you will be pleased. I have worked with many other people to help them lose weight. What will happen every week is that you will discuss your progress with your weight loss. Then after I weigh you, I will use my therapy to make sure you stay motivated.”
“What does your therapy involve?” I asked.
“After you weigh in, we will calculate how long the therapy will last. Then I will take you into my ‘Motivational Room’ and you will receive corporal punishment,” Dr. Sue said.
“Corporal punishment? Like a spanking?” I asked.
“Yes, I will always start you out with a hand spanking, and then use paddles and maybe even the cane. It seems like a drastic measure, but it does give you the proper motivation to lose weight. You told me that nothing else has worked for you, and I can almost guarantee you that you will lose weight. This first session will last almost an hour.”
“So I have to allow you to spank me every week?” I asked.
“If you really want to lose weight, you need to accept a spanking every week. This will last at least six weeks and maybe more. So are you ready to start right now?”
“Well I really want to lose weight, so I will give it a try,” I said.
“That’s a smart decision that you made. My ‘Motivation Room’ is downstairs, so follow me.”
I followed Dr. Sue down a wide carpeted staircase to the basement. Then we went through this heavy door into somewhat a large carpeted room. On the walls were various paddles, whips, ropes, and other stuff. In the middle of the room was wooden furniture that I hadn’t seen before.
Dr. Sue sat on an old fashion armless wooden chair and said, “For this to work the most effectively, I expect you to follow all of my instructions without question, and follow my every command. Can you do that for me?”
“I guess so,” I said. I didn’t know what to expect.
“To start with, strip down to just your underpants.
