farmer's market

I just wanted to make a quick comment about something that has been very helpful to my project: the farmer's market. Beginning a few weeks ago, I started going to the farmer's market to get fresh produce. I have found that this is a huge incentive for me to eat healthier because I enjoy going to the market, choosing fresh produce, and planning a menu around the produce. Going to the farmer's market has made me very excited about eating healthier and has been a lot of fun. It has also been great getting to go to the farmer's market with Clay and other friends that also enjoy the market and eating healthy foods. Having a support group has been very important in sticking with my project and would be incredibly hard if it was not for them!!! This has taught me a very important lesson for when I counsel my patients. I must always ask about support people that can help the individual progress and succeed. Support groups are essential and necessary in order to make long lasting changes. If an individual lacks a support group, one must be found and the healthcare provider may need to actively participate in this role.
