Participant Feed

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

REFLECTION QUESTION

I was fairly sure I understood the difference but it was good confirm. Also, since I don’t eat meat it is easier to make sure I’m eating food that won’t make me sick.
