On a journey to accountability

Hello everyone,
I've been a (very, very) sporadic user of MyFitnessPal for a couple years. I wasn't paying much attention and was keeping my weight at 60 kg fairly easily. But a few months ago, it went out of hand, and I slowly got to 68 kg (it's the heavier I've ever been).
There is no secret to that: I have been eating way too much. I can't say I started binge eating, but almost. It's probably based on a combination of troubles in life, mindless snacking, giving in to my cravings (but not like healthily, more like buying a box of cookies and a chocolat bar and eating them in one sitting), and being for two months in an environment where I didn't control what's was the pantry.
So I decided to go on this forum to mark my true first day of getting back to my goal weight, and to give me a little bit more accountability. (I also posted on the french forum, but weirdly I feel more comfortable on the english speaking one)
Thanks for reading this, and have a good day!
