Here is a conversation I had with my oldest son after picking him up from Baseball practice earlier in the week.

Son: Can we please go to Jack in the Box for dinner? I am starving.

Me: No, sorry. I made chicken.

Son: Please mom, I am really hungry and Jack in the Box sounds sooo good.

Me: No, sorry. We really need to make sure we aren't eating fast food more than once a week. I am really struggling with my weight right now and want us to eat more healthy on a daily basis.

Son: What do you mean?

Me: I really need to lose some weight. I want to make sure I am healthy so I will be sure and live a long time to see all of the wonderful grandchildren you are going to give me.

Son: Oh, please. You look fine. Anyways, who cares how you look? You are already married so its not like you really need to look nice anymore for anyone.

Me: Blank stare.
