[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 686935, member: 20051"] If she has some cognitive issues it does make it harder, but WW is the best plan in my opinion because it allows you to eat real food and it teaches you the "value" of foods. In that, say, you can choose to have a few chips, or a large serving of vegetables. I get that it is hard when she has such a self imposed limited diet. I might explain to her, though, that the weight gain isn't likely ALL ti BC. That it might be a little of it, but a lot of it is high calorie foods in large portions. Certain foods are just too easy to over eat. A portion size of chips is so much smaller than most people realize. I think it's good that if she wants to lose weight you are encouraging her. I enjoy cooking. I try to find many different ways to prepare vegetables that make them more interesting, yet still healthy. My kids love fruit, though. Weight watchers has a lot of good recipes to make dishes "skinnier." I make some WW blueberry muffins that are really good and only 2 WW points. [/QUOTE]
