ROSARIO'S STORY

"I recently had a physical, and was surprised to hear my doctor say I have several risk factors for heart disease.  Around the same time I saw a TV special about heart disease and its complications and risks, so it all really hit home.  I'm concerned about this and want to change it.  I have to lose weight and reduce my cholesterol.  This is just the beginning of a long battle and I know it won't be easy, but I know I have to do it."
