Let’s get it started

It’s important to me to start this journey and more important that I finish. 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.
