The nutrition counselors there helped me to improve my life. They taught me how to eat, and what to do for exercise. Their strategies for helping me involved change I felt comfortable with, instead of drastic changes I would never stick with. We were realistic and the changes I made have lasted. In fact, had I seen Darlene earlier, I might not have retired. Now, I feel focused and relaxed. My emotions are balanced. As a result of my new lifestyle, I have lost twelve pounds, and have kept it off easily for three months. Both my wife and I are happy about my transition. She tells me "it is nice to have her partner back."
