25 year old, ready to change
 Hello!
My name is Danielle, and I am a 25 year old female, living the life in California!
Of course, by living the life, I mean struggling to make ends meet!
I guess for now I'll just put information about myself that is relevant to my weight loss!
7 years ago I began a relationship with a man online. We were the same age, and had a lot of similar interests, so we hit it off right away.
At that time I was about 115-120 pounds. I worked at a gym and was in my senior year in high school, just about to enter college.
I graduated college a year later, with a certificate, I was not working at this time, I had quit my job, to focus on finals.
I then got a job in retail, and this is where my troubles really started
I worked really weird hours, and sometimes not at all, so I slowly stopped working out, and eating right.
Fast forward to now,
I'm 178 pounds and wanting to get back to the way I was before.
There have been a lot of changes in my life in the last 7 years, and not all of them good!
I used to run every day, and would only eat take out once a week (pizza hut, 2 slices!)
But since meeting my boyfriend, we've sorted influenced each other in some bad ways.
He's an EXTREMELY picky eater, so it's hard for me to make food for the both of us that he will enjoy, on a budget.
He likes virtually no veggies, and very few fruits. I am like a garbage disposal, I love all fruits and veggies!
We've both decided to start living a more healthy lifestyle, but he doesn't give me much support,
and since moving from Washington State to California (2 years ago) I haven't made many friends.
I had a great network of people in Washington that would run with me,
or just help keep me motivated.
Now I'm back in school, working full time, and I just have no energy!
I've started introducing Paleo into our diet, and I've been lucky so far because he doesn't seem to notice, or at least not mind the changes.
I'm really looking forward to changing my life for the better, but I know it will be a struggle!
TL;DR version:
I'm sick, fat, and tired of it!

Good for you in wanting to get back down to a healthy weight, and good job introducing Paleo into your bf's diet! Keep doing what you need to do to make the changes you know you need to make! Good luck!
