This is a tough one...........I think you will have to put each of their foods in a separate bowl and feed them at the same time either together if you are there to monitor them, or in separate rooms. Give each about 15 minutes to eat her food, then take the food up. You can put it back down in a while but it should be at a time that you want to be on your schedule. For ex: you could put the food down at dinner time, and if not eaten you could put it back down just before bed time. Nonetheless, you will have to stop leaving the food down 24/7 is you want to monitor what your heavier girl eats. Otherwise, she will eat her sister's food. It will not take the girls long to adapt to the new feeding schedule. Good luck!
