Health and Money Diet

My doctor says I need to be healthy. My Mom says I need to get healthy. I know I need to get healthy. I want to be healthy. I want to not have a big ol' belly. I'd like less weight having to be carried on my feet. I'd like to have less fat in the way of being more flexible (tying shoes even is a p.i.t.a. currently)…
