I'm new to MFP and...

...
Well... I'm a 18yo brazilian guy (so, sorry if I use centimeters / meters and kilograms, it's my default) and I weigh 352 pounds (164kg) . I'm 185cm tall (6 ft 1 in), and my goal is 99 kg (around 219 pounds).

I've never been on a diet, actually.
The thing is... It's so hard for me to eating... I just can't. I have something like a mental block that I just can't eat some kinds of food (what includes most fruits and vegetables). I've been into therapy and it hasn't worked.

I've always eaten candy and more candy and chocolates... One day, I woke up and decided... Well, I'll try to reduce what I eat and try to be a little more healthy (like switching to Coke Zero).

Today I discovered myfitnesspal and this is it. I'm trying to take notes of what I eat. I really appreciate that forums and that support. I'll try to support everybody and I really wish you support me too.

So... Can I start with a little question? In your country, do you have where to weigh yourselves? The scales here go only up to 330 pounds (150kg).

Thanks! :happy:

EDIT: sorry if I posted in wrong area... But it was more to ask that question and ask for support (and of course congratulate you) that introducing myself. You can move the thread if you judge more convenient, no problem

Welcome to the MFP family. I hope your journey is everything you want and need it to be. I'm from Toronto, Canada and my scale is digital so it goes higher then the older style scales - maybe you can look into something digital??

Any how - remember its not about how you start a journey or how you end it - the experiences in between are what matters.

Add me as a friend if you need support
