What an eye opener, Let this be the battle that wins the war!

Hello, I am located in the UK. I have been noticing my health deteriorate for a while now and I have been too lazy to start to turn it around.

So I got a new phone and I was messing around in S health with the heart rate monitor and the blood oxygen levels, etc. I found it pretty cool that you could log it over time and keep track. So I went straight to the Google Play Store and searched for apps to compliment S health and I found this!

I found the fact that you could log your food so easily very appealing. Not only did the apop know exactly which brand product I searched for, the scanning feature made it even more easy. I thought I'd log my calories in a normal day and at the end, I was speechless. I never knew how to calorie count but this app is starting to teach me new things. My lunch for example, was an AW root beer can, a 400g bag off carrots and asda humus as a dip. Sounds pretty good, right? But turns out it was 1000 calories alone in one sitting. Aparently a single serving of that hummus was a little over a tablespoon. I never paid attention to serving sizes before but from now on, I will. I wish food packages had the total calories in that container as opposed to a serving size which could be a small fraction of an already small package.

On the second day, with the help of the app, I was under the calorie limit and with the ease of the app and no pressure to exercise, I feel like I can keep this up for a long time. I have tried turning my life around a couple of times, but I burn out after 2 weeks and start to get lazy after not noticing results. My biggest weakness is on the diet side and the myfitnesspal app is really helping me keep a track on things for the first time in my life.

TL;DR Got new phone, tried out app, very easy to keep track, learning new things about diet I have never known, turning life around.
