The Dancing Diet. For one Chicago woman, ballroom dancing is more than fun.

As Medical Editor Mary Ann Childers reports, she’s rhumba-d, waltzed and cha-cha’d her way to weight loss.

Food is Jennifer Fite’s business. She’s personal assistant to nationally renown chef Rick Bayless.

Two years ago, she realized her weight was out of control. Diet after diet failed. And she admits she was in denial.

"You tend to live from the neck up,” she said. “You tend to just focus on what can you can see in the mirror like this."





But there was one mirror she couldn’t avoid at an Arthur Murray Dance Studio she passed every day and paused to watch people dancing.
