Choices, and Choosing

#

It’s so simple, and that’s why it’s so hard.

You must believe you can change.

Embarking today on health changes. I’ve joined a program designed to steer me away from the Type 2 Diabetes that I am at risk of developing.

I’ve signed up for change, which puts me face to face with myself.
