it.”
—Tara O., Edwardsburg, Michigan
Up until now, you’ve been somewhat
passive in this relationship. We’ve been
yapping our heads off, you’ve been patiently
listening, and the flow has been mostly
unidirectional. You’ve absorbed information
from us, sure, but you haven’t really rolled up
your sleeves and jumped into the
conversation.
In the last chapter, we asked you to start
contributing. We gave you our meal-planning
template and encouraged you to start making
some of your own decisions by customizing
the size and contents of your meals. (Good
work there.) But now, our relationship is at a
turning point. We think you are ready to truly
take charge of your own health, and your own
nutrition program. We can’t do that for you.
