Obesity is a serious illness that threatens the physical and psychological health of the sufferer. You are probably aware of how difficult it is to lose weight and particularly, to maintain the desired weight. Any serious program should include not only a diet, but a component aimed at modifying habits and attitudes.  Studies show a much greater success rate for programs that solicit the support of everyone concerned in this undertaking.

In light of  the foregoing statements, I promise:

1.     To avoid pointing out my partner’s dietary wrongs.

2.     To offer my cooperation whenever it is requested

3.     To be attentive and to praise and reward all positive achievements.

4.     To listen without judgment, to my partner’s feelings after incidents of cheating.

5.     To encourage my partner to persevere and for a period of up to two years.

IN WITNESS OF WHICH I SIGN:
