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:
