One Year Using MyFitnessPal

One year ago today I started using MyFitnessPal. 365 days later, I must say that I am so glad for this online tool! It has made a real difference.
I am now 30 pounds lighter than a year ago, and 50 pounds lighter than I was 5 years ago. I feel so much better. 30 pounds may not seem as much as you might expect for one year. I cannot account for that, and of course, I would have liked to lose more, but today I am glad for what I have lost.
I know that I am much healthier. I am also now more content eating less calories, and know that I can be satisfied with less than what I ate when I gained that much weight. Previously, I lost weight I think I was always "waiting" to be thin enough to eat more again.
I am now wearing clothes from several boxes in the garage that I had stashed away and had not worn for over a decade. I am serious! Glad styles of jeans have not changed over time. But one of these days I will have to do some serious shopping!
Continuing on the journey! You can, too!
