    Takeaways:

    Having a concrete understanding of oneself and setting realistic goals is crucial for successful weight loss.

    Addressing the emotional component of eating involves identifying the underlying need that food is fulfilling.

    Tactics like journaling, pre-planning meals, and creating a space between the urge and action can develop mindfulness and intentionality.

    Diet culture has a significant impact on different age groups, but there is a rise in body positivity and intuitive eating.

    Megan Gaul is an educator-turned-coach from Staten Island, New York. She embarked on her own 100-lb weight-loss journey in 2018. While keeping that weight off ever since, she has worked hard to build and maintain strong boundaries to keep out diet-industry jargon and fear-based tactics. She forged a unique way to her healthy lifestyle, and food freedom was the most important part of that path.
