Lets try positive motivation to improve our diet and exercise habits!

Kevin Berry is an 11-year mantle cell lymphoma survivor and undergoing his third bone marrow transplant. He works on Human Spaceflight programs, is a freelance writer and editor, and supports newly diagnosed patients through his ministry, Taking Vienna (www.takingvienna.blogspot.com). He lives in Central Florida with his wife and adult children.
This is the second in my series of lessons learned from nearly 13 years of living with cancer. The first, Guilt Is Good, focused on "negative motivation" to encourage folks to get checkups, hoping for early discovery and intervention.
Quick recap of the life of Kevin: I'm the victim of a rare cancer called mantle cell lymphoma. I'm now on my third round of it, after two bone marrow transplants, and nearly a dozen other types of treatment. Thanks to receiving the best medical care in the world, backed by top-notch benefits, keeping right on the edge of medical science, I'm in remission for the third time, feel great, am exercising, working and completely enjoying life.
In my first offering, I address friends and family that don't have cancer. In this one, I'm dispensing wisdom-like opinions for both survivors and the lucky ones who haven't had the adventure. Today, we're talking diet and lifestyle. Specifically, making small changes that might have big benefits.
