A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭

The new year is just a couple of days away! It is time to think about what it is you want to different in your life. New Year's resolutions are easy to make but hard to keep, so instead of making specific resolutions, I am adopting key words for myself for the new year.

My words are OPTIMISM, CONFIDENCE, and FAITH. What words will you adopt?
