DP is doing a charity skydive at the end of November, for which he needs to lose about a stone and a half.
We started doing the 5:2 diet two weeks ago and in order to support him, i organised the lunches and dinners for the two 'fasting' days for both of us. It wasn't completely awful, so we discussed which days he was going to do the week after and also talked about him going running or swimming a few times a week, both of which he's very good at.
Of course, none of this happened and then GTA5 came out, which put even more of a hold on the diet. I have casually asked about when he's planning on fasting and exercising and he just fobbed me off with 'oh well, i've been tired/busy'. We have a 4 month old and a lively 7yo, so i do get where he's coming from, but he doesn't seem to appreciate the fact that he just won't be able to do it if he doesn't lose the weight.
I've decided to stop asking him about it and leave the exercising and dieting to him, even though i know that he'll leave it to the last minute, won't be able to lose the weight in time and he won't be able to do the skydive. I know it sounds like i don't think much of his organisational skills, but he does this sort of thing ALL THE TIME and is known for leaving things to the last minute. For example, he's currently doing a few work-based qualifications at the moment and without fail, he always leaves his assignments to the last possible minute.
I feel really cruel, but i also think it's time he takes responsibility for himself. I mean, fgs, i feel like i could be talking about my 7 yo! Am i making the right choice? I feel so mean!
