XenatheWarriorPrincess Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hello all! I'm new to Nerd Fitness, so I thought I would introduce myself to the community.There are a few background things you need to know about me:I became a vegetarian in high school. Since then, I've gained 60 pounds. I've yo-yo'd with my weight and tried various diets, but I would always get discouraged and quit. I'm bored of my job - after 3 years with the same company, I feel like it's time to move on. I need something challenging.My current situation:I "quit" my vegetarianism cold turkey 2 weeks ago and jumped right into a paleo lifestyleFor the first time in my life, I feel optimistic about losing weight and getting healthy. I'm not dieting this time around - I started eating meat because my body was craving it. I'm learning to listen to my body. I see paleo as a sustainable lifestyle that makes so much sense. I'm already seeing improvements in my concentration and sleep, in just two short weeks of eating meat!I'm starting a new job in 3 weeks. I'm anxious, but extremely excited to start something new! I found Nerd Fitness. The articles, the challenges, the community, the blogs...I love it all. I don't get a lot of support from family and friends, so I'm extremely grateful to have this support system. I'm currently participating in the 6 week challenge...yeah!!!I'm feeling upbeat, determined, and happy. I'd forgotten what that felt like. I am going to be a success story, damn it!
