Balance: My Top Five Life Changes After Creating Health

"It's not about the food!" I've said it a million times, but last night, on my call with my coach (yes, I still talk with my coach weekly to keep myself on track), I said it again - many times - as I was recounting some of the fabulous things I have learned while on my health program.
