My habit tracker was lying to me for 14 months straight

I kept filling in those little squares every night, thinking I was building discipline, but I was actually just coloring to feel good about myself. The wake-up call came when I looked back at January and saw I'd marked 'exercise' 29 days, yet I'd only been to the gym 11 times that month. Anyone else catch their trackers becoming fantasy instead of a record?

January 11th is when I called it. I had two different trackers showing me 20+ gym sessions but my credit card statement said 9 visits. The apps were doing their job, I just wasn't being honest with them. Maybe the real problem is you're gaming the system instead of using it. We all know when we're fudging the numbers, and if you missed 18 days in a month, that's not the tracker lying, that's you lying to yourself.
