Sarah has started reading books on weight loss and fitness and has decided she needs to improve her fruit consumption and physical activity. Sarah is in which stage of change?

Contemplation

Explanation:

'Contemplation' is the stage of change in which people are willing to change themselves and begin to propagate a healthy behavior in the upcoming six months. At this stage, they are well aware of the pros associated with this changed behavior but a little less aware of the consequences. Sarah would be called to be in this stage as she has decided to adopt a healthy behavior('started reading books on weight loss and concerned about her diet and physical activity'). This reflects that she is aware of the pros of this change but a little about the consequences associated with it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
