Several years ago, mostly to spite a doctor, I got myself on a low carb diet and ended up losing about 50 pounds in total. Unfortunately since then, altogether due to my own actions, about 40 of them have managed to find me again.
Since Mrs Hades stopped teaching, she's gotten into gardening and now she has an app on her phone to track calories. She is now participating in a diet plan based on that app, and she is seeing positive results even though her new job is less physical (chair work instead of standing all day and chasing kids at recess).
Even though I am not actively participating in her dietary changes, I am nonetheless benefiting from them as well. I got on the scales today, and I have managed to lose eight of those 40 pounds, and that's measuring in the middle of the day. I have not significantly changed my lifestyle at all to see that loss.
I'm not saying I'll go all in on Mrs Hades diet plan, but if I continue to benefit from it, perhaps I'll start paying a little closer attention to myself as well.
