Serving Says...

About a month ago, my husband ate a snack that consisted of 4 pieces of pizza. A day or two later, I talked to him about it and how 4 pieces of pizza is probably not a snack and more like a dinner. At that point, we decided that we needed to change our eating habits and fast!

So we sat down and discussed what changes needed to be made and how we could go about making the changes. The first thing we needed to do was figure out what a real serving looked like!! We had been eating too much for too long! With the two of us on board cheering each other on as well as keeping an eye on the other we set out to change our eating habits and hopefully change our bodies and weight.

We made a few small changes: measure servings of cereal and dressings, eat only the serving size of something and no more, eat more veggies and fruits, have 1 serving of fruit per meal, no seconds, and reduce cheese intake.

My husband began dropping pounds almost instantly, I , however took a little longer to start loosing weight. It has been about 6 weeks and we both can see noticeable changes in each other's midsection. This is not a diet, but a change in diet so hopefully the weight will continue coming off.
