From the Paper:

"The most important health problem that I need to face right now is the fact that I am not getting enough exercise and I have relied (a little too heavily) on meals in a box (Lean Cuisine, etc.). With the demands of school and the responsibilities of being the mother of a seventeen-month-old and an eight-year-old, it is difficult to make time for exercise. It's much easier to control what you are eating (which is still pretty difficult) than to take time out of the day for myself. But, as mentioned, my only concern is not just in taking in the fewest calories (via a packaged diet food), but I am concerned that I am not getting enough fresh fruits and vegetables and that I may be getting too much of stuff I don't want in the packaged foods - such as sodium."
