He was going to put it in my stocking, but thought the better of it. (I'm glad!) My point is that it is a great movie and good for truly demonstrating portion size gone out of control. K hasn't watched it. It's not fully appropriate for her, though I may be able to skip a few things here and there.

People judge when they see a "fat" child, and now they're judging because she did something about that.<br /><br />It's no secret that around these parts I'm a calorie counting nut. It has helped me lose 35 pounds and will help me continue to do so. <br /><br />In today's age of Super Sizing, I'm not surprised folks don't know what a "portion size" is. I don't think it's a bad thing for kids to be aware of portion control. <br /><br />Around these parts we refer calories as energy units, as that is what they are. <br /><br />We're on the flip side of things with the Bean. I'm working on packing as many calories into her as I can so she'll continue to gain weight and grow. And, with Bitty as tiny as she is, same goes. <br /><br />We eat quite healthfully here, but we also have junky snacks. It's all about portion control and balance.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181941897289258428.post-17285576824504691052013-01-21T11:44:21.879-05:002013-01-21T11:44:21.879-05:00Although our children don't have a weight prob...Although our children don't have a weight problem we also do appropriate portions. We also allow sweet snacks and believe that it is all about moderation.Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558893889667088182noreply@blogger.com
