So hey--there's this boy, Marshall Reid (age 10). He's been doing something pretty darn cool.
On a mission to eat more healthily, he's undertaken his own "Portion Size Me Challenge." What this entails is finding low-fat, low-calorie substitutions for popular dishes every night for a month, using only wholesome ingredients. Think ground turkey and low-fat sour cream and ample fresh veggies for tacos.
Without portion-cutting or calorie-counting or obsessing, Marshall has lost 11 pounds in about a month--while enjoying real food.
Think of it as a lifestyle change.

Spotted as I lunched in front of Coffee Society:
Two older women, I'd say about 60 to 65 years of age, sipping lattes and chatting it up. Dressed in white shoes and argygle, clearly just back from a round of golf.
Lady 1: "You were amazing out there!"
Lady 2: "I know! All my shots were going perfectly! It felt great!"
Lady 1: "You were amazing."
Lady 2: "Thanks, I know!"
Pretty simple, nothing too special there. But I took notice because how often have I heard people sheepishly refute compliments? Accepting a compliment means you're proud of yourself and aware of your capabilities and talents. Love how naturally Lady 2 took it in stride!
I discreetly returned my attention to eating.
