I pledge to…

Make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of my life;
Have a healthy approach toward food and eating;
Seek and nurture meaningful relationships;
Strive to cut out unnecessary risks and bad health habits;
Have a medical check-up annually;
Make time for what’s important, and reduce unnecessary stress;
Be supportive of others in their quests for wellness;
Live a life of healthy moderation;
Strive to be happy; and
Be patient and persistent: "I may not always be successful but I will keep trying."
