Ht. 4'11, Wt. 150 - I want to start eating healthier and exercising regularly. I know it'll be hard with my schedule, but I can try my hardest. The thing is, I want my boyfriend to get healthy with me. We are both overweight and neither of us make healthy choices. We choose ice cream with a movie or pizza for dinner. I'm afraid bringing up the subject of weight loss and being healthy will put up his defenses. Diabetes and heart disease run in my family so this is really important to me. I figure that if we exercise together it'll be easier and more fun for the both of us. I'm just not sure how to bring up the subject without offending him. Any ideas?

Tell him you want to lose some weight, and you would appreciate his support. Tell him it would be easier to lose some if he ate healthy with you.
