The Ultimate Incentive
Sometimes what we need most in life to accomplish remarkable things is the right incentive.
My wife Tina and I are like most middle-aged couples who have put on extra weight. Our sex life was "okay," in that it was not as frequent as I would prefer, and maybe not as mind-blowing as either of us would prefer. Rather, it had become routine, and boring. With both of us weighing much more than we should, it had also become difficult and tiring.
This past year we committed to changing all that, restoring our physiques to where they used to be. I am well over 6' tall and had to lose 80lbs to reach an ideal 205lbs. Tina, at 5'8" tall, had to lose about 50lbs to reach her ideal of 140lbs. Needless to say, we had major work ahead of us!
A decade ago, we were both in great shape. When we are in shape, toned, and fit, we both get the looks and attention, especially Tina! Her gorgeous straight brunette hair flows just over her shoulders, and she has the face and eyes of the prettiest angel, just like in her days as a runway model when she was much younger and in perfect shape.
When looking her glowing sexy best, Tina stands tall, and her confidence explodes. She dresses sexier and flirts with a wonderful attractive smile. For instance, when we go out to a nice dinner and she wears her sexy high heels and an outfit that accentuates her shapely figure and perfect 36C breasts, it is hard not to notice all the men looking at her with desire as their eyes follow her across the room. And Tina loves that attention too.
This year we set our goals and did what many recommitted dieters and fitness-minded folks do. We hit the home gym. After spending thousands of dollars on equipment, it has all the needed training tools.
Anyone who has lost a significant amount of weight knows that plateaus are a real thing, and I hit one a couple of months into training. No matter what I would do, I could not break through. Over a month I stayed there. I would fast for a day or two. I would exercise more. I would change what I ate, eating less or at different items. Nothing seemed to work.
Meanwhile, Tina had all but given up exercising, opting strictly for diet instead of both diet and exercise.
Then after plateauing for about 5 to 6 weeks Tina remembered that a vacation incentive worked to get her recommitted years earlier. She encouraged me by asking what I might want that would motivate me to stay really disciplined with my diet and exercise so that I could hit my goal. I told her I would have to think about it. At our age, we had most things we wanted.
I then mentioned to her that I noticed she was similarly struggling to get into our gym. I asked if there was anything she wanted.
We let the questions go for a couple of days, then there was something that came to my mind, but I never thought it would happen.
As swingers a decade earlier, I developed a fantasy of seeing my beautiful wife have knockout incredible sex with about five gorgeous men at once. I wanted to see her lose herself in a fun, carnal, slut-like experience having a series of non-stop unbelievable pleasurable orgasms from great-looking guys she actually knew well enough to have a bit of a connection, while being the full center of attention, completely vulnerable and taken. I wanted to see her enjoy an experience I could never give her myself. This certainly is not for everyone, but it was my kink.
A decade earlier, Tina expressed a desire for this fantasy. But earlier this year, she denied having that fantasy anymore, that I was the only man she thinks about being intimate with.
That said, after bringing it up with her and having sex over the next day or so, she was unbelievably wet, like she had just met a new hot guy! She
had
to have fantasized about the thought of me being okay with this and it got her very turned on thinking about it!
After considering her offer to reward me if I achieved my weight objective, I clarified with her if there was a time limit on the goal. Afterall, I still had sixty pounds to go.
To make it challenging, she proposed 5 months, and would not budge. She also indicated that I had to stay at or below 205lbs for a full week within that 5-month period, weighing in every morning. A normal weight loss goal is 10lbs a month, but she was asking me to do 12lbs a month, AND I had to complete it a week ahead of time to ensure the final week completed on time.
I then mentioned to her that a lofty goal like that requires a lofty incentive. With that said, she agreed that she would get me whatever I wanted if she had the capability of getting it for me.
I said, "
Okay. I trust you will honor your commitment.
"
Tina then repeated, "
I swear I will get you something you want if I have the capability of doing so. But you have to hit the goal within the time limit, and I will not budge on that by even a day. Obviously if it costs $1 million, I will not have the capability. You would be asking for something I cannot provide. Anything else I can provide, you can have."
With that assurance, I then told her I still had the fantasy of seeing her have an incredible sexual experience with five gorgeous guys at once, and I wanted that fantasy to become reality.
There was no question Tina had the capability of giving me that as a prize!
For a moment, the stunned look on her face was as if her heart stopped! She knew she could not back out! She swore she would not back out. She also felt confident she would never have to pay up because she did not believe I could ever hit the goal. I spent an entire month stuck at 264lbs, and if that happened anywhere along the proposed timeline, I would miss the goal. At the same time, I could see the gears of fantasy turning in her head, as the naughty desire never really left her.
That afternoon we started working on a plan for
if
I hit the goal, and with poise and honor she agreed to put it in writing! I was shocked, but at the same time both she and I knew this goal was not going to be easy.
