“Normally, sporadically, I start these tracks, and I lose weight for a while, exercising on my own. But with my spouse, it’s only us two, and it’s easy to talk yourself out of it. You do pretty good for a few weeks and a few months, and then you start slacking off, and then you quit. I’ve done that over and over and over again.”
