After years of struggling to lose weight, I’ve lost 30 pounds this year. My number one takeaway has been realizing I need to be mindful of what I eat all day, from eyes open to going to bed. For years I’d been giving up single things. No soda or juice. No desserts. No chips. No fries. Yet incredibly, whatever I did it didn’t make a dent, at least not for long. Which seemed totally impossible.
