Boyfriend weighing less than me has been a kick start to getting back on track

This is what got me started too! My boyfriend is the same height as me and a really skinny guy. I had also never been heavier than a partner! It was the kick I needed to calculate my BMI, realize that I was in the overweight category and get started.

The benefit of a healthy partner was being able to see what he ate. I believed I was eating healthy and I mostly was but I was eating totally inappropriate portions and waaaay too much sauce, dressing, etc. My partner doesn't like sauce, eats only when he's hungry, doesn't mind leaving food for later.

It seems like such a petty reason but I totally relate and wish you the best on your journey :) Now that I'm a few months along the ~journey I can say I am doing it for myself and have embraced the lifestyle change but the reason I got started... Skinny boyfriend :p

Good luck!! All the best
