I live in Chicago.  Here, as in most big cities, the food is Uh-mazing.  Any hour of any day, we can have as much food of every ethnicity that we can imagine.

The other day, my friend asked me to go to Greek Town for dinner.  My first thought was “No, it’s a New Year.  I’m re-focused, re-newed, and ready for…”  What?  To say no to friends and socializing?  I suppose I went on so many diets in the past that I was conditioned to knuckle down and restrict myself for the New Year.

I decided to go and remain focused on portion size.  I’m not gonna lie, just having 1 slice of my favorite bread with 2 Tablespoons of tzatziki was a challenge but I stuck to my portion size guidelines and enjoyed a delicious Greek meal with my friend.

I want you to be able to socialize, wine, and dine and still lose weight simply and easily.  So I created the Fit Body Portion Size Cheat Sheet for you to cary in your purse or wallet.  All you have to do is click right here and you can print it out.  Make sure you print it out small (business card size) so it will fit perfectly.

Start using your cheat sheet at home first to get an idea of what true portion sizes looks like and then take it with you when you dine out.  Most importantly, pay attention to what a proper portion of food feels like in your body.  Give yourself the gift of friends and food you love!

Strength & Love,
