SammehCat Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Nearly a year ago, I found this website and I loved it. I spent days pouring over the articles and the forums, and I've kept up with the e-mails and I've done my best to slowly change my habits. I did an introduction a year ago, back when I thought I was moving out and going to college. Unfortunately, this is not what happened to me. Instead I was tricked out of nearly four hundred dollars and forced to go back to living with my mom and sister and it was nearly the icing on my downward-spiral cake. Fortunately, I got a job and started saving money again and finally, in January, I started eating a little better and doing some exercise, and in just one month, I lost ten pounds. I then plateaued until about a month ago. However, at that point in time, I was living with my friend and preparing to move to a different state to be with my military boyfriend. Now I'm in North Carolina, with some twenty dollars in the bank and some twenty dollars on a gift card and crossing my fingers that I'm not gonna be forced to go back to my mom's house. And it's looking fine for now, though I can't look for a job until we are settled in a house. But he gets his paychecks, and he's going to put me in charge of finances. My goal is to start my life here on a good note, and I'm doing the best I can for now. When we find a house, I want to eat as close to paleo as I can. I want to be able to improve the quality of our lives. He's a marine who is constantly exhausted (from eating unhealthily and smoking), but who has the desire to eat and live better. I've even recommended him to the site. I do have a general understanding of what I want and need to do. What I need is a support from people like you. I need people who can help me eat as close to paleo as I can on a budget, people who can recommend recipes, who can give me motivation to work out, and even give me the courage/ability to cope with my irrational fears (I have a hard time going outside because I have a weird fear of being assaulted). And if I'm lucky, I can develop friends either online or in my area. I'm sorry to have such a long entry, but quite a bit has come up since I last posted.

Jetikus Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I'd be willing to help with the Paleo.

It's taking advantage of everything available to you." Link to comment
