So much is written on being present and “mindful” today. I subscribe to many ezines and blogs on this topic. Mindfulness is all about being conscious or aware of the present moment. I will admit that it never really clicked for me until I started on a weight loss journey. I started a program to help me understand why I eat, when I eat, what influences me to consume food. I never thought I had a relationship with food. I felt that I never made a big deal about eating. I wasn’t a stress eater or a depressed eater. I don’t sit on the couch with a bag of potato chips every night. But, it turns out, I do have habits or scripts that I follow to the letter that may be sabotaging my weight and health.
