Moms are always too busy trying to take care of their family, they often forget about themselves. I know when my daughter was born, my world revolved around her. Everything I did was for her and my husband, and I rarely took the time to think about me. When I did think about me, I felt as though I was being selfish. After having my daughter I ended up gaining 80 pounds, believe it or not I became less active after she was born. I also found myself under eating at times, then over eating at other times.
It wasn’t long ago when I learned about a company called Precise Portions. Precise Portions makes products to help us better control portion sizes. In today’s world, we have forgotten what a proper portion actually is, so with Precise Portions, you will never have to guess or estimate again. All you have to do is stay in the lines! Seems easy to me, I have been staying in the lines since I was about five!
About Precise Portions:

FOCUS functions without compromising good looks, so you don’t have to worry if company drops in – they’ll never know the difference!
I received one place setting for review; I have to say these are some fancy plates. As soon as I pulled them out of the box, I informed my husband I wanted a full set. My daughter made the remark that they looked Chinese. Later that evening, my husband said he agreed with her.
From looking at these dishes, you would have never been able to guess, these dishes were designed to teach you proper portion control. Well besides the one that’s marked, which I LOVE!
Chicken, brown rice, and a salad Yummy. My salad didn’t like the camera, I guess too much light, but it was so yummy!
These dishes are well made, and will help in a big way in your weight loss journey. If you were still unsure what to get Mom for Mother’s Day think Precise Portions, these dishes would make the perfect Mother’s Day gift!

About Jammie Morey
4-oz Portion Control Scooper/Server
I learned that the Tao of Healthy Eating also involves rest and exercise. I never think of rest as a component of healthy living — I always think of it as action, like taking the action to eat well or to exercise!
I learned they have a calculator that will calculate your body mass index.
beautiful——-sure would be nice for someone having to start all over
learned how to make avocodo ranch salad dressing
The dinnerware was designed by a dietician. They also make a portion control scooper/server – great idea!

I’m a big fan of this concept. It’s not a fad diet, it’s not even a meal plan; it’s a simple and potentially very effective way for people to more accurately assess just how much of what sort of foods they’re consuming. From there, they’re able to judge whether they’re meeting their goals or not; that sort of independence isn’t something that most other for-sale nutrition programs offer. I appreciate that it was developed by scientists and dietitians, and isn’t terribly gimmicky or celebrity-endorsed. It’s a fairly classy product with a lot of function that I would absolutely love to try for myself (if I could afford it…).
I’m also a fan of both yours and Precise Portions pages on facebook, as well as an email subscriber.
Also now a Google Follower and a Network Blog Follower
Fingers crossed!
