I’ve lost 4 pounds basically by changing some of the food I eat.  I aint gonna lie, I’ve slipped up a few times and had chinese food and ice cream, but I haven’t compounded a big meal with another big meal, with another high calorie meal. I went very low on the caloric intake after a slipup and incorporated more fiber and water to flush out the bad stuff.  I wouldn’t recommend this, but it worked for me.

I’ll try to become more disciplined with what I eat. It’s a struggle, but I’m encouraged with the results so far. I have my 10 year old daughter for the summer and she’s not a big meat eater and loves veggies. I mean, she can eat a can of spinach like its ravioli’s. Maybe I can learn something from her because I don’t really have to worry about treating her to a lot of fast food restaurants.  She’s satisfied with a big plate of salad. I’m not ready for that, but remember, “baby steps”. I’ll get there. I try to follow other online blogs (Israel) or forums  (OD) just to give myself  that extra push.  It’s good to know that you’re not alone in your struggles and that others have found success through hard work and perseverance. My workout has slacked a little, so I’ve got to get busy with that too…

For me, eating healthy is hard as hell, because I hate most vegetables. I’m allergic to apples, melons, pears,bananas and some shellfish, so I have to find a happy medium. Portion control is essential also, so I have to get my tools together (measuring cups, scale).  I would like to maintain 1800 calories or less daily intake. I think that’s a good starting point being that I probably triple that amount daily for most of my life.

I guess today is my start date, 6/26/2009, 6′0″, 333 lbs.  I bought some high fiber content cereal. I want to make sure I get my daily fiber in, so I can releases excess waste. I noticed I don’t feel so bloated when I get my daily allowance of fiber.  I also bought some of those portion controlled meals like Lean Cuisine and Michealina’s Lean Gourmet.  I’m thinking this would be a good start for the first day.
