Yeah, I can totally agree with that last part. I am a bit of the same way. I have a sweet tooth too and I do feel healthier even if I am not skinnier.

I think media has skewed the way we view our body size over the many many years whereby if you are not losing weight or getting skinner, you are failing. We need to decouple healthiness & body size.
Good on you and your wife for making the active decision to be healthier and persisting. I have had that good intention for the last 10 years I think. I still think about every time I am having chocolates :D
Well, to be fair, we don't find getting out of bed at four any easier than it was when we first started. In fact we skip more days now than we used to every now and then. It's hard to stay motivated when you don't see the results.
Definitely the physical results are a big motivator, but as you mentioned, you feel healthier. The psychological effects also play a big part. You might also feel you can exercise longer without feeling out of breath and have more energy. The results come in different forms. :D
For sure!
And while I used obesity as an example, it is by far not the only thing. Look at the emerging "Minor Attracted Persons" - yes... paedophiles. The idea of making everything acceptable by softening the meaning is insane.
