1 Year of Tracking

Today marks the 365th day of tracking my food on My Fitness Pal.  1 year of never missing a day.  I'm quite proud I made it to this milestone.  I think it is safe to say that it is a habit at this point and I have every intention of keeping it up.

Yes, I have had many, many discouraging days where I went so far over my calories I was completely embarrassed (even though no one could see my food diary but me).

Yes, I have had success.  I've lost 27 lbs since I started (that was 1 year back in August).

I still have 6 pounds to go to get to my goal weight but I was weakening in my resolve and was fearful of giving up so I went into maintain mode for the summer.  I haven't quite worked up the motivation to get back to losing but I am proud to say that tracking my food has helped me maintain.  This is the first time in my life that I have maintained a loss as opposed to gaining it back as soon as I stopped losing it.

Anyway, I know I haven't been blogging much but this was a notable achievement for me and I needed to pat myself on the back.  :insertgrinhere:
