Diet Discussions - View Single Post - i hope this is the right place lol.

ok my problem is kinda different from most peoples i guess. i am 28 male and overweight by around 80 to 100 lbs. i am not very active and i am a very very very picky eater. my foods choices contain mostly bread items ,salty foods, junk food, and of course pop.

i am a bigger built guy. i know i will never be small and i am ok with that. i would however like to be at a normal weight or there abouts with how i am built. i would say right now i am alittle over 300lbs and would like to make it to around 220 to 200lbs for my goal weight. i figure with me being 5 ft 10 that would be ok.

now for my problem. i have been lighting weights as of late and find that not so bad. i do try and walk as much as i can when i get out of the house but thats not often enough to make much of a difference. my eating habits are the main reason i am here. i know if i could get those under control a bit and loose some of this weight i would be more active and would want to get out more and do things.

i try and drink upwards of about 128 ounces of water a day now. i have cut down on my pop alot. i do feel alittle better from doing that. i run into the problem with not liking many foods, i dont like most vegs and fruits, i dont like most heathly foods in general. i know some of what i eat is ok if it is eaten in small portians and not all the time. problem is thats all i eat and all i really like.

so my question is how can someone like me lose weight and not have to eat things i cant stand (ill leave it at this, eating alot of these food that are healthy makes me physically sick). i know getting more active would help and thats fine i hope to do that soon but what about eating? i know i cant just stop eating all together. i only eat about 2 times a day as is and snack small here and there. i have cut out alot of my pop that i used to drink. was drinking nearly a 12 pack a day and now im down to maybe 4 cans.

i also dont know about all these diet pills out there and i know most wont work well unless you have an active life style and eat right. as far as excersicing goes i know i should do more of that but have no energy to do much more then i do now.

please can someone help me?
