I learn from everyone, including my Wife but she doesn't believe me. I used to be a eat the whole thing guy. I was raised to always clean my plate. My Daddy's favorite saying in the kitchen was, "Take all you want but eat all you take." Raised like that, I still clean my plate today. It's funny how those kind of things stick with you.

My Wife used to get to me by eating half a slice of bread, half a slice of bacon or a pinch off anything. I would ask her why and she would tell me that she got as much as she wanted. I used to look over at her plate and noticed that mine had twice and sometimes three times a much food as her. She has always been the healthy eating one in our marriage and she never had weight problem. It was also her that got me to realize the importance of fitness in our later years. When I first started walking with her, I could barely keep up. I used to train when she was busy so I could out do her. I later influenced her to do some light running.

Here's a good example of what I have learned from her. We have been eating this one lemon tart for two days. It has finally sunk in that I don't have to gobble down the whole thing every time. I would deny myself the pleasure of tasting one of my favorite desserts because the whole tart had too many calories. I had conditioned myself to eat it all or eat none. That was dumb. I placed the egg in the picture to show the scale of the tart. I guess old dogs can learn new tricks...
