The interesting thing is that people who were absolutely sure they could never change, do it. The good news is that we are all able to make choices if we really want to.

Dr J, you mention the pain of a scary medical event. You and I both see too many people with medical events that could have been prevented or ameliorated by better choices of diet and physical activity 10-20 years earlier. But the horse is out of the barn.... It's also true I could make all the healthy choices for years and still get run over by a beer truck tomorrow.
