Weight loss and perseverance

I had to smile when my 16 year old daughter wanted to try some chicken and rice my wife was making asked “How many calories in that and what is a portion size?”

What I am doing has rubbed off on her and she is learning early in life how to manage her energy intake in a thoughtful way.

I got an even bigger smile when my wife immediately knew the answer to her question and dished out a correct portion size for her to have.

My wife has lost 40 lbs so far following what I am doing and my daughter has lost 25 lbs. Both are now mindful of how much they consume and are enjoying the control and freedom of choosing how much to eat and when to achieve their weight goals without sacrificing what they like to eat.
